Digestive enzymes
Less bloating after one very fatty meal, in 18 people.
Grade B: Some human proof
Small, early or mixed results in people.
The grade is for the use people talk about, not for every use. Filed under: Gut health.
How it works
Capsules of the enzymes that break down fat, protein and starch.
How it was given in studies
By mouth. In the trials people swallowed it as a capsule, tablet, powder or drink.
This is what the studies did. It is not a how-to.
What studies saw
In 18 healthy people, enzyme capsules meant less bloating after a very fatty meal. The larger trial, in 120 people, was in people who already had indigestion.
The trade-off
Beyond that one small study, there is little data in healthy people.
When it showed up, in studies
Less bloating after a single fatty meal.
