Compare every Lipase product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.
Enzyme that breaks down dietary fats into fatty acids and glycerol
We rank Lipase by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Lipase is a type of enzyme, which is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst to speed up chemical reactions in the body. Specifically, it is designed to break down dietary fats into smaller components called fatty acids and glycerol so the body can absorb them.
It is used as a supplement to help people who have difficulty digesting fats. By breaking down these fats more efficiently, it can help reduce digestive discomfort and improve the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.
To create the supplement, companies typically grow specific microorganisms, such as fungi or bacteria, in large fermentation tanks. These organisms naturally produce the enzyme, which is then extracted, purified to remove unwanted materials, and dried into a stable powder for use in capsules.
This ingredient is generally affordable. This is because the microorganisms used to produce the enzyme grow quickly and in large quantities, making the industrial manufacturing process efficient and highly competitive.
| Purpose | Typical studied dose | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| maintenance of nutritional status and elimination of steatorrhea in pancreatic enzyme insufficiency | 40,000 to 50,000 LU per meal, or 30,000 to 40,000 IU with every meal and 15,000 to 20,000 IU with snacks | established |
| treatment of cystic fibrosis patients | 600 mg of recombinant gastric lipase alone, or 25,000 to 100,000 USP of lipase per meal | emerging |
