Digestive Enzymes Ultra is a vegetarian capsule formula from Pure Encapsulations providing a broad-spectrum proprietary enzyme blend to support digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, and dairy.
The formula centers on a 391 mg proprietary enzyme blend supplying thirteen individual enzymes. Multiple proteases—including protease, protease 6.0, and protease 3.0—are included to provide activity across a wide pH range, supporting the normal breakdown of proteins and di- and tri-peptides. Amylase and glucoamylase support polysaccharide breakdown of starch and glycogen, while invertase and lactase support digestion of carbohydrate disaccharides, including the dairy sugar lactose. Lipase supports normal lipid breakdown. The formula additionally supplies cellulase, hemicellulase, beta-glucanase, and phytase to support fiber breakdown, including cell wall components and phytic acid, thereby promoting nutrient bioavailability of fiber-containing foods. Alpha-galactosidase supports the breakdown of certain complex carbohydrates—such as raffinose and stachyose found in some vegetables, grains, and legumes—helping to relieve occasional bloating or gas.
Pure Encapsulations formulates this product as a vegetarian capsule free from gluten, soy, dairy, GMOs, artificial colors, artificial flavors and sweeteners, unnecessary binders and fillers, preservatives, magnesium stearate, and trans fats. The product is certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) and is Non-GMO.

Amylase — supports the normal breakdown of starch and glycogen (polysaccharides).
Protease — supports normal protein breakdown across a broad pH range in the digestive tract.
Protease 6.0 — supports normal protein breakdown, complementing protease activity at a specific pH range.
Glucoamylase — supports the breakdown of polysaccharides, including starch and glycogen, promoting normal carbohydrate digestion.
Lactase — supports digestion of lactose, the principal sugar found in dairy products.
Lipase — supports normal lipid (fat) breakdown.
Beta-glucanase — supports breakdown of beta-glucan fiber found in plant cell walls, promoting nutrient bioavailability of fiber-containing foods.
Invertase — supports digestion of sucrose and other carbohydrate disaccharides.
Cellulase — supports breakdown of cellulose, a plant cell wall component, promoting nutrient bioavailability of fiber-containing foods.
Alpha-galactosidase — supports breakdown of complex carbohydrates such as raffinose and stachyose found in vegetables, grains, and legumes, helping to relieve occasional bloating or gas.
Protease 3.0 — supports normal protein breakdown, providing protease activity at a lower pH range.
Phytase — supports breakdown of phytic acid in fiber-containing foods, promoting normal nutrient bioavailability.
Hemicellulase — supports breakdown of hemicellulose, a plant cell wall component, promoting nutrient bioavailability of fiber-containing foods.
