Benefits of Digestive Enzymes 

The primary role of digestive enzyme supplements is to aid digestion. You might benefit from supplements if your GI system does not naturally produce enough digestive enzymes.

Research has identified benefits and possible uses of digestive enzyme supplements, including:

  • Breaking down macronutrients: These are carbs, fats, and proteins. In doing so, digestive enzymes help your body absorb nutrients.  
  • Potentially easing chemotherapy side effects: These might include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.15
  • Helping to alleviate inflammation: Protease is a digestive enzyme that helps break down proteins, including those that cause inflammation and swelling. 
  • Possibly treating sore muscles: A review published in 2014 found that protease might reduce pain and speed up muscle recovery. The researchers noted that the evidence is inconsistent.14
  • Reducing GI symptoms: You might find relief from bloating, excess gas, and stomach pain. Some digestive enzyme supplements might manage GI illnesses like chronic pancreatitis—which might lead to a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes—or lactose intolerance.
