A digestive enzyme tablet with betaine HCl, ox bile and a mixed enzyme blend. The 90-tablet formula includes animal-derived enzymes and is taken with a meal.
Each tablet contains 200 mg betaine HCl, 100 mg ox bile extract and 45 mg papaya fruit powder. The 182 mg enzyme blend includes pancreatin, bromelain, papain, cellulase and pepsin, assembled for digestion of fats, carbohydrates and protein.
The pancreatin and pepsin are porcine-derived, and ox bile is also an animal ingredient, so the formula is not vegan. NOW recommends one tablet with a meal. The label states that the product contains sulfites and includes precautions involving blood thinners and papaya or pineapple allergies. The bottle contains 90 tablets.
