Multi Enzyme

Thorne Multi Enzyme is a comprehensive digestive enzyme supplement combining hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and pancreatic enzymes to support nutrient absorption and everyday digestive comfort — particularly useful as part of a routine that addresses the natural changes in enzyme production that come with age.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the proteolytic enzyme pepsin that are secreted in the stomach, and the pancreatic enzymes (amylase, lipase, and protease) secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine are essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. A supplement containing these enzymes can provide benefit in situations when less than optimal amounts are produced in the body – like during the natural aging process.*

HCl facilitates the body’s absorption of multiple nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, and various forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc.* Pancreatic enzymes facilitate the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, CoQ10, and omega-3 fatty acids.*

• Provides support for occasional indigestion*
• Minimizes gas and bloating*
• Helps maintain bowel regularity*

This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

PREGNANCY

INTERACTIONS

Multi Enzyme should not be used concurrent with H2-blocking drugs and proton pump inhibitors because these drugs are intended to block the production of stomach HCl.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

Multi Enzyme is contraindicated in patients with peptic ulcers. It is not recommended to remove the Multi Enzyme powder from the capsule to take orally, as it can be irritating to the oral mucosa.

Who Benefits from a Multi-Enzyme Supplement

• Everyday digestive comfort: Formulated to support individuals who experience occasional gas, bloating, or indigestion as part of their daily lives.
• Nutrient absorption support: HCl and pancreatic enzymes work together to help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, B12, folate, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids from food.
• Post-antacid recovery routine: A practical addition for those looking to support digestive enzyme levels after periods of frequent antacid use.
• Lactose-free, clean formulation: Thorne's formula avoids lactose — a common filler in enzyme supplements — making it suitable for those with sensitivities.
