What the research says about digestive enzymes
Peer-reviewed studies and reviews on the individual enzymes in this blend - amylase, protease, alpha-galactosidase, invertase, lactase, lipase and cellulase - shared for education, not as claims about this finished product. Digestase's claims are the statements authorized under its Natural Health Product licence, NPN 80036178.
Does Beano prevent gas?
A randomized crossover trial found oral alpha-galactosidase significantly reduced flatulence events after a high-oligosaccharide meal compared with placebo.
Human RCTAlpha-galactosidase and breath hydrogen
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study found alpha-galactosidase reduced both breath hydrogen excretion and overall symptom scores after a bean-based meal rich in fermentable carbohydrates.
Human RCTReducing gas from a carbohydrate-blocking drug
A randomized crossover trial in patients with type 2 diabetes found that adding alpha-galactosidase to acarbose significantly lowered flatulence scores and breath hydrogen versus acarbose alone.
Human RCTGas-related symptoms in a pediatric trial
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found alpha-galactosidase significantly reduced global distress and the number of days with moderate-to-severe bloating and flatulence, with no adverse events reported.
Human RCTAspergillus oryzae lactase and lactose malabsorption
A study using oral beta-D-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae - the same lactase source used in this product - found that a sufficient dose temporarily normalized hydrogen excretion and relieved symptoms in some lactase-deficient patients after milk ingestion.
Human RCTNot all lactase products are equal
A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial comparing three commercial lactase products found they differed in their ability to reduce breath hydrogen and symptoms after a lactose challenge.
Human RCTA dose-response relationship for lactase
A randomized, double-blind, multicenter study found that higher doses of exogenous lactase preparations produced significantly greater reductions in breath hydrogen after a lactose-containing meal.
Human RCTLactase-treated milk in lactose-intolerant children
A clinical study evaluated lactase-treated milk in lactose-intolerant pediatric patients, supporting enzyme pretreatment as a way to improve tolerance to dairy foods.
Clinical studyLactose intolerance, explained
A review in Gut describes lactase deficiency and lactose malabsorption physiology, noting that management approaches include a low-lactose diet and lactase supplementation, with modest but real clinical benefit.
ReviewLactose intolerance is common and variable
A 2026 review describes wide regional variation in adult lactase persistence, noting that a large share of the world's adult population digests dairy poorly, with enzyme supplements among the studied management approaches.
ReviewAn honest look at mixed results
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial in irritable bowel syndrome patients found only a trend toward benefit from oral alpha-galactosidase and concluded there was insufficient evidence to recommend it routinely for IBS - a reminder that enzyme research findings are not all positive.
Human RCTA fungal-fermented enzyme blend for functional dyspepsia
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a multi-enzyme blend obtained from fungal fermentation found improved quality-of-life and pain scores over two months versus placebo, with no reported side effects.
Human RCTA multi-enzyme complex for dyspepsia symptoms
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of a multi-enzyme complex found significant improvement across several validated dyspepsia symptom scales, with no product-related adverse events over 60 days.
Human RCTLipase and post-meal fullness
A double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study found that acid-resistant lipase taken before a high-fat meal significantly reduced reported stomach fullness in healthy volunteers.
Human RCTDigestive enzymes alongside standard care
A randomized study in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and IBS-type symptoms found that adding a beta-glucan, inositol and digestive enzyme combination reduced bloating, flatulence and abdominal pain versus standard therapy alone.
Human RCTA different enzyme source: pancreatic supplements
A double-blind crossover study found that microencapsulated pancreatic (porcine-derived) enzyme supplements reduced bloating after a high-fat meal in healthy subjects - evidence on a different enzyme source than the fungal-derived enzymes in this product.
Human RCTPancreatic enzyme replacement is a distinct category
A clinical practice guideline notes that pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy formulations are all derived from porcine (pig) sources - a different source and a different licensed use than the fungal-derived digestive enzyme complex in this product.
Clinical guidelineReal-world data on porcine pancrelipase
A 2026 observational study of pancrelipase in chronic pancreatitis patients with diagnosed pancreatic enzyme insufficiency found improved symptom scores and quality of life over three months - again, a distinct enzyme source and patient population from this product.
Observational studyRegulatory safety review of an Aspergillus oryzae enzyme
A 2026 European food safety review of an enzyme produced from an Aspergillus oryzae strain assessed genotoxicity and 90-day oral toxicity data and concluded the enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under its intended conditions of use.
Regulatory safety reviewSafety review of a fungal-source lipase
A 2026 European food safety evaluation of a triacylglycerol lipase enzyme reviewed toxicology data across ten food-manufacturing uses and found a wide margin of exposure with no safety concerns identified.
Regulatory safety reviewA long history of safe fungal fermentation
Toxicology testing of a traditional Aspergillus oryzae (koji)-fermented food extract found no evidence of mutagenicity, genotoxicity or subchronic oral toxicity, consistent with the food's long history of safe consumption.
Toxicology studyProtecting oral enzymes on their way to the intestine
A 2026 review of microencapsulated oral formulations describes how coatings and delivery systems can protect sensitive proteins and enzymes from inactivation by gastric acid and digestive enzymes before reaching the intestine.
ReviewA capsule system designed for lipase delivery
Researchers developed temperature-responsive polymer capsules that kept encapsulated lipase stable in simulated gastric fluid for hours while releasing it with nearly full activity in simulated intestinal fluid.
Lab studyMicroencapsulation improves enzyme gastric stability
A study on a different oral enzyme (nattokinase) found that a multilayer microcapsule limited enzyme loss to under 5% during simulated gastric digestion while allowing substantial release in the intestinal phase - illustrating a formulation challenge shared by oral enzyme supplements generally.
Lab studyHow digestion is coordinated
A physiology review describes how proteins, fats and complex carbohydrates are broken down into absorbable units by enzymes secreted along the digestive tract - from the salivary glands through the stomach, pancreas and small intestine.
ReviewLactose malabsorption, explained
A clinical review outlines how lactase deficiency leads to lactose malabsorption and describes lactase supplementation as one of several management strategies alongside diet.
ReviewBreath testing and digestive function
A review of 13C-breath tests describes how these non-invasive tools are used to study digestive organ function, including as one method discussed for assessing exocrine pancreatic enzyme sufficiency.
