Effective for digestion
I am gluten and dairy sensitive and apparently sensitive to many other foods. I recently moved to a retirement community with one meal a day provided as part of my monthly fee. The food is good but full of ingredients that do not sit well with my digestive system. I am using a probiotic that has helped but still find that is not enough. I now take the probiotic in the morning and use these digestive enzymes with my meals. They work well and I seldom have any repercussions from what I eat. I can even eat some dairy when I use them. They do not claim to help with gluten.Â

Trustworthy Brand and Very Complete Formula
I have used another Pure Encapsulations product in the past (Phyto-ADR, an adrenal support formula), so when I developed Chronic Pancreatitis and realized I would need to start taking Digestive Enzymes on a regular basis, I was relieved to discover Pure Encapsulations makes several varieties. I trust this brand immensely. I compared this particular product with two others that Pure makes, Pancreatic Enzymes and Pancreatic VegEnzymes, the former being pig-derived and the latter being plant based. I did a lot of reading about how enzymes work, and animal-based vs. plant-based performance. I decided a plant-based formula was better for my needs because from what I’ve read, they are able to stay stable and start working while in the stomach, then continue to work in the small intestine, versus animal-based enzymes which only start working in the small intestine. The head start in the stomach seemed important, considering my pancreas is still healing and I’d like to save it as much work as possible. Now, back to this product, which is also plant based. I chose this product over the Pancreatic VegEnzyme formula because it actually contains a higher enzyme content as well as a larger variety of enzymes. The pancreatic formula only contains the primary protease, lipase and amylase enzymes (which work on protein, fat and carbs respectively), whereas this Digestive Enzyme Ultra formula contains those mentioned plus additional enzymes such as lactase (dairy), cellulase, invertase and more. I figure I’ll need help with digesting everything I eat, so this seemed to be a more complete option.I was very surprised at how tiny these capsules are! I’ve had digestive enzymes in the past and they’ve always been larger, these are very small. That’s nice though, they’re super easy to swallow even without water if needed or in a bite of food, and because they’re so small they fit into a smaller bottle which is convenient to toss into almost any purse to take along with me. Because a damaged pancreas often doesn’t produce enough enzymes to break down food fully, the result is identifiable food in the stool that wasn’t properly digested. There has been no sign of this since taking this formula, which is some comforting proof that it’s working. I’ll definitely stick with this brand that I have come to trust and would recommend these to anyone.One general word of caution about enzymes: compare brand labels carefully, digestive enzymes have become more popular lately and as a result brands are popping up from nowhere and I’ve run into a lot of junk websites/products in the process. Make sure the enzymes are labeled in their own units (HUT, SAPU, FIP, etc) and not in generic milligrams, which tell you only the weight and not the actual quantity of each enzyme. You don’t need to understand these units, simply compare HUT to HUT and SAPU’s to SAPU’s for example, to see which brand offers the highest quantities overall. You can look at the complete label for this formula and Pure’s other formulas on their website pureencapsulations.com.Update 01/17/14: I just thought I’d add a quick note now that I’ve been taking these regularly for several months. I have noticed a huge difference since taking these and wouldn’t trade these for the world. On the occasions when I’ve skipped them I usually feel some discomfort and it’s a reminder of how well they are working. I started taking these for my pancreatic problems, but I’ve noticed massively improved digestion/elimination benefits as well. Just thought I’d offer that update.

OUTSTANDING!! What a difference this has made in my life!! I DO NOT leave home without these!! Raise the ROOF!!
Trouble digesting food? Feel heavy and like a ROCK is sitting in your stomach for days after you eat? THIS WORKS!! Side effects such as naseau, or adverse reactions: NONE!! This is by far the BEST brand of supplements I have gotten, and was referred to me by my Nutritionist, who is an NP. I am a healthy eater, A NEG blood type, and a slim person at 5′ 2″ and 110 lbs, but have always had issues after I eat, especially any meat, potatoes, bread. Sometimes for 3 plus days like I have just eaten a large meal, though I had not. My DR and then NP suggested I take these, 2 before a meal, then 1 afterwords with HCL. MY GOSH!! Within 3-4 days I noticed a huge difference, in that my body was actually PROCESSING MY FOOD!! Instead of food sitting in my gut, rotting, backing up my system and becoming TOXIC, I was able to DIGEST food and eliminate the waste.1 Year and counting… I wouldn’t leave home without them!!! Don’t make me have to do a video on this, Y’all!I also have severe food allergies, and these DO NOT affect my body, I tolerate them VERY WELL!! My allergist say’s I should live in an oxygen tent because my food and airborn allergies are off the chain. I’m even allergic to garlic, onion, parsley, pepper, tea, coffee, shellfish, spinach, lettuce…. I drink a lot of home made bone broth. After eliminatig so much from my diet I can easily tell when I take/consume anything that would cause me to flare up. These are one of the few things I can take that **DO NOT** cause me any allergic reactions! Can I get a Hallelujah ?!REDUCED ANXIETY- Knowing I would feel awful each time I ate a meal, really began to create anxiety for me. Now, taking this product, I know that my body has what it needs to help break down my food, and I dont have to stress about it. I have a small pill box I carry in my purse, and these are always on me, with HCL, where ever I go! Any restaurant, date, ball game: No worries! I know I can eat mostly what normal people are having and not have to be sick for days after.Yes, it is somewhat expensive, but well worth every penny not to feel sick. Do yourself a favor and buy bulk, the 120. You wont regret it.100% TRUTHFUL AND HONEST REVIEW – I WAS NOT PAID AND HAVE NOT RECIEVED ANYTHING FOR THIS REVIEW!! IT JUST WORKS!!

Good supplement, some adverse side effects
I really like these supplements. The cost is a little high, but for the sense of peace that you know what youâre getting I feel like itâs worth it. I donât have any adverse side effects because the supplements are high-quality. I appreciate that their packaging doesnât have a ton of extra space like most supplements, though there is still extra packaging.I get this one a four star because it upset my stomach each time I took it. It felt like it was over stimulating in the digestive track.

5 stars
Great product. Had my gal bladder removed a few years ago and these help tremendously in aiding in digestion.

Better than Beano
Works better than Beano for harder to digest foods. The Pure Encapsulations brand is of consistently high quality, which is why most of my supplements are Pure Encapsulations.

Works great!
These help if youâre sensitive to dairy and gluten. I take them 30 minutes before I know Iâm going to eat gluten and it helps with the after bloat! Highly recommend
