Critical Digestion by Enzyme Science is a broad-spectrum digestive enzyme blend formulated to support the breakdown of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and fiber. It features a diverse array of enzymes — including protease, lipase, amylase, and cellulase — designed for those seeking more complete nutrient digestion from each meal.
Why It's Worth Considering: The formula uses Thera-blend™ technology, which combines multiple enzyme strains active across a wider pH range throughout the digestive tract, rather than a single-strain approach.
Take immediately before or with the first bites of your meal. Enzymes need to be in the stomach when food arrives. Taking them after eating is less effective. For best results, take with every substantial meal — especially meals high in fat, protein, or hard-to-digest foods.
They serve different functions. Enzymes physically break down food into absorbable nutrients. Probiotics are living bacteria that optimize the gut microbiome, produce vitamins, and support immune function. Many gut issues benefit from both — especially after age 40 when natural enzyme production declines.
No. Digestive enzymes do not cause your body to produce fewer of its own enzymes. They supplement what your body is already making (or under-making). You can stop taking them anytime without withdrawal or rebound. If your symptoms return after stopping, it means you still need the support — not that you've become dependent.
