Enzalase is a plant-source digestive enzyme blend from U.S. Enzymes, formulated as a vegetable capsule containing twelve distinct enzymes that collectively support the breakdown of carbohydrates, fiber, proteins, and fats.
The formula brings together Bromelain Protease, Papain Protease, Lipase, Alpha-Amylase, Cellulase, Alpha-Galactosidase, Hemicellulase, Protease, Lactase, Pectinase, Glucoamylase, and Invertase — each contributing a specific enzymatic activity across the major macronutrient and fiber categories. This combination of enzymes helps release prebiotics from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Enzalase is formulated with a sodium alginate delivery system and the proprietary EnzaStim® ingredient (sunflower lecithin and oleic acid). Lipase is included at 6,000 FIP Lipase Units, which the manufacturer identifies as a vital digestive enzyme for fats.
Enzalase is suitable for use with meals to support everyday digestive comfort, and can also be taken on an empty stomach for systemic use. The manufacturer indicates it can be used as an enzymatic colon cleanse to help prepare the entire GI tract for probiotic colonization.

Bromelain Protease — supports protein digestion; a plant-source proteolytic enzyme.
Papain Protease — supports protein breakdown; a plant-source proteolytic enzyme.
Lipase — supports fat digestion; the manufacturer identifies this enzyme as vital for fat breakdown and notes it enables other enzymes to function more effectively by addressing fat in the digestive environment.
Alpha-Amylase — supports the breakdown of starches and complex carbohydrates.
Cellulase — supports the digestion of cellulose (plant fiber).
Alpha-Galactosidase — supports breakdown of complex carbohydrates, helping maintain normal digestive comfort from high-fiber foods.
Hemicellulase — supports digestion of hemicellulose, a component of plant fiber.
Protease — supports general protein breakdown.
Lactase — supports the digestion of lactose.
Pectinase — supports breakdown of pectin in fruits and vegetables; the manufacturer notes this enzyme combination helps release prebiotics from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Glucoamylase — supports breakdown of complex carbohydrates.
Invertase — supports the breakdown of sucrose.
