This is our review for a product called Digestive Enzymes Supplement with Probiotic. Digestive Enzymes Supplement with Probiotic is a dietary supplement that is intended to manage all problems caused by poor digestion like acid reflux, bloating, burping, stomach cramps, abdominal pain, nausea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and others. It also promotes digestive support for people who do not have a gallbladder. The manufacturer claims that this product contains different types of probiotics that protect your gut and enzymes that break down fat, proteins, fiber and carbohydrates, promoting healthy digestion and energy production.

The different species of Lactobacillus contained in this product are types of probiotics known to protect  your stomach and promote good digestive health. Each probiotic plays a different role in the body. Lactobacillus plantarum for instance lives in your stomach, building a healthy barrier to your colon to prevent harmful bacteria from penetrating. Enzymes help breakdown fat, carbohydrates, protein and fiber. Through our research we found that competition between different species of Lactobacillus when taken as a dietary supplement is possible, and that could have negative effect to your digestion. It is also a concern that the manufacturer lists the probiotics and enzymes as enzyme blend. Probiotics are not enzymes but bacteria, while enzymes are chemicals produced by bacteria. It is disappointing that they are regarded as enzymes by the manufacturer.

Our Crystal Clear Digestive Enzymes Supplement with Probiotic Review– Conclusion

Digestive Enzymes Supplement with Probiotic contains enzymes and probiotics that help prevent issues of the digestive system by providing a barrier between harmful bacteria and your stomach. It is without a doubt that these ingredients have been scientifically proven to improve the digestive health. However, we are concerned that when different types of probiotics are taken together as a supplement, they can compete with each other causing a negative impact on your body, which then does not provide you with the results you need. The manufacturer’s guarantee is also vague, as they do not state its duration. The guarantee could be seven days, two weeks or a month for that matter. We are also concerned that the manufacturer categorizes probiotics as enzymes in the list of ingredients because this indicates limited knowledge about the ingredients in their product. Therefore, we do not recommend that you rely on this product. Rather look for a  product that has a strong manufacturer’s guarantee and clear ingredients.
