- WHAT ARE DIGESTIVE ENZYMES? Digestive enzymes are proteins produced naturally in the body’s digestive system to help us break down the food we eat into nutrients and energy. Production of these enzymes can decrease as we age, among other factors, which may lead to symptoms such as bloating, flatulence and digestive discomfort.
- WHY CHOOSE HEALTHSPAN? An expertly formulated blend of enzymes – including amylase, bromelain, lactase, lipase and protease – to aid the digestion of carbohydrates, lactose, fats and proteins. Healthspan have added chromium, which contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.
- QUALITY INGREDIENTS FIRST: Healthspan work harder to seek out the best-quality ingredients for their supplements. They source and manufacture their range, ensuring optimal purity and quality along the way so whether it is faster-acting, better-absorbed, filtered for optimal purity or simply contains more active ingredients, they’re confident you won’t find better quality.
- INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS, BACKED BY EXPERTS: Healthspan has 25 years’ experience working closely with trusted research partners and experts. They thoroughly test and perfect their products with in-house doctors and nutritionists to bring you the latest developments in nutritional supplements.
- THE HEALTHSPAN WAY: Here’s something you may not know – Not All Supplements Are Created Equal. There can be considerable differences in product quality, purity and sustainability. Healthspan strive to bring you the most innovative solutions for maximum benefit: that’s just The Healthspan Way.

I started taking a digestive enzyme (from a different brand) just over a year ago and thoroughly recommend them as they’re brilliant for making sure you get the most out of your food intake in terms of absorbing nutrients and proteins and breaking down carbohydrates and fats etc, so these are a brilliant supplement if you work out regularly and want to get the most out of your fuel and growth foods and help keep in shape at the same time. If you’re on any kind of extreme or limiting diet then these are great too as they’ll help make sure the food that you do get goes a lot further in terms of fuel and energy. They’re also great for helping with IBS and food intolerances and I like that they have added chromium as I usually supplement with this separately.
If you take these at the recommended minimum dose of 1 a day, which is enough for me, then they will last around two months which is reasonable value for a decent digestive enzyme so would recommend.

These capsules arrived in a fairly big box approx 17cm x 12cm x 2cm, which first seemed a little excessive but then I realised that it easily fits through most letterboxes. The box is cardboard (great) but it arrived covered in plastic film, and contains plastic two blister-sheets of 30 capsules each. The capsules themselves are average size and contain various digestive enzymes together with chromium to support macronutrient metabolism. The recommended dose is 1 or 2 each day, either alone or together. They are convenient to take and I couldn’t detect a taste or smell.

Healthspan are a quality go-to brand for vitamins. They are produced in the UK with quality ingredients. I like that the packaging is recyclable too.
These are good enzymes if you suffer with IBS/IBD flare ups. They help reduce bloating too.

I am on a calorie controlled diet which has played havoc with me to a degree and I ahve seen changes in my digestion.
These have really helped keep everything ticking over. I find I am less bloated too.

I, of course, had high hopes this product would help with a sudden surge of late night gastrointestinal discomfort (TMI? Sorry!), but after two weeks, it’s done nothing to help, unfortunately.

Over the years I’ve used digestive enzyme supplements regularly (but not continually) and have usually found them helpful for my temperamental digestive system. These Healthspan Digestive Enzyme capsules are among the best I’ve tried and they seem to be pretty much a complete solution, helping your digestion deal with all the major food elements including carb’s, fats and proteins. They’re also suitable for vegetarians and even vegans and that’s quite unusual for digestive supplements. In my experience the vegan versions often aren’t as effective but that doesn’t seem to be true with these.
One thing worth knowing, the symptoms of having too much stomach acid and not enough stomach acid are basically the same, symptoms like feeling bloated, excessive burping or heartburn. Of course many people take antacids to try and cure those symptoms not realising they’re actually making things worse by eliminating what little acid they have left. Like most other body processes acid production in your stomach diminishes with age and if you’re approaching or beyond retirement age it’s very unlikely your stomach is producing too much acid and quite possible that boosting your digestive juices will be helpful. It’s worth trying at least.
These capsules can help at any age, especially if you’re in training for example and want to get as much nutrition from your diet as possible. For example there’s a limit on how much protein your stomach can process at a time and taking a good protease-containing supplement can help maximise that and get you better muscle building results. It’s important, in my experience, to take these at the right time – you should have one immediately before you begin eating your biggest meal of the day. Don’t take them on an empty stomach or after you’ve eaten, they need to be in your stomach just before the food arrives. These capsules come blister packed in a letterbox-friendly box and if you take one-a-day will last two months so the value is pretty good for a supplement of this quality.

I have to follow a gluten-free and Lactose free diet and take digestive enzymes to help me further. I wanted to give these a try and I have found I am less bloated after my meals. I take one at breakfast time and that seems to help me throughout the day.
The package comes sealed and is very informative. Easy to swallow and taking one a day gives you approximately 2 months worth.
