Enhance your digestion with enzymes.*

How It Works

Digestive Helper™ is a broad spectrum digestive enzyme formula that is designed to help the body break down a variety of foods. This includes the digestion of dietary proteins, dairy, and gluten -- foods that may provoke food sensitivity and intolerance.*

Digesting the food you eat properly is a top priority of health. Digestive Helper™ can help you break down, absorb, and make optimal use of the foods you eat. It also helps to reduce gas, bloating, and indigestion.*

Benefits and Types of Enzymes

Wellness Resources® Digestive Helper™ contains high-potency, pure plant enzymes for digesting all types of food. Our many years of experience have shown that plant enzymes are the top choice for assisting digestion. These unique enzymes are active over a wide pH (3 to 9), and work in the upper portion of the stomach for a full hour after meal consumption.*

Unlike other enzymes such as hydrochloric acid or pancreatic enzymes, our enzymes are designed to assist digestion of a very broad array of foods. The proteases digest protein. The amylase, glucoamylase, invertase, maltase and lactase digest carbohydrate and sugars. Lipase digests fats. Cellulase breaks down fiber.*

Many of the symptoms of indigestion (gas, bloating, heartburn) may be caused by a lack of digestive power. Also, the acid and alkali components of food may begin to react and form gas, resulting in bloating. Incompletely digested food may 'back up' causing heartburn. Oftentimes, a boost of digestive power will help get the whole process on track.*

In addition to our enzymes, we have added various herbs (DGL licorice, ginger, and slippery elm) that are soothing to the digestive tract. Ginger also helps bring warmth and circulation to the digestive tract. This combination is helpful for individuals in a weakened condition or those who lack appetite.*

Dairy Protein and Gluten Digestion

Digestive Helper™ may help you improve your tolerance to various foods. It is especially helpful where the natural process of digestion may be lacking the enzymes to properly break down the proteins in foods that are eaten.*

Gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. It is composed of two proteins, gliadin and glutenin, that are sometimes difficult to digest. Our special peptidase enzyme helps to break down the proline-containing peptides found in these proteins. Additionally, this formula helps to break down the common dairy protein (casein).*

BioCore DPP-IV® Enzymes

Digestive Helper™ includes special enzymes that enhance DPP IV activity in the digestive tract, which is an important stage of digestion for breaking down gluten and casein. These enzymes are also able to survive stomach acid, so are useful where needed. By using digestive enzymes to help break down food more completely, food sensitivity is less likely.*

How to Take Enzymes

Digestive enzymes are typically taken before eating, 1-2 capsules per meal. Higher amounts may be taken as needed. Some common times to use these enzymes are if you are eating a larger meal, or if you are rushed, stressed, or tired when eating. All of these situations make normal digestion more challenging. You may take the enzymes with every meal or on an as needed basis. For example, you may take the enzymes after eating or after noticing some signs of indigestion.*

Other synergistic nutrients that help improve digestive competence are Strengthener Plus™ and Super Coenzyme B-Complex.

How To Take

Take Take 1-2 capsule with each meal. If desired, capsule contents may be sprinkled onto food.

This is by far the best digestive enzyme I’ve ever used. Like many other products from Wellness Resources, I’ve been using this supplement for many years. I’ve recommended it to a few friends and they are amazed at how well it works for them too. Great formula!

Digestive Enzyme

Digestive enzymes helps me breakdown food so I feel less bloatedI don't consume it everyday, I do it sporadically to help with digestionI like that this brand clearly list all the ingredients in the label.It has a slight hint of medicinal smell/taste, darker powder than other brands,It has more pills in the bottle than other brands and nicely sealed to assure no tampering before use.No side effects after taking it so far. If it does after taking more, I'll update the review.

A must-have for before each meal to make the most of the nutrients and prevent gas and bloating. I use this along with the daily probiotic and the combination has been very effective for me.

Finally, relief from painful, embarrassing gas

I have difficulty digesting dairy, some types of protein, legumes, fats and am intolerant of a variety of foods. I handle gluten reasonably well.I like that this is a broad spectrum digestive supplement with enzymes that target a wide variety of foods. The ingredient list is extensive and impressive; read the entire product listing to see what they state each enzyme does. There is also independent testing lab testing for quality. But personally, I'm all about the results. I used to have painful digestion followed by terrible gas after eating foods that I'm sensitive to. With this digestive supplement I have found relief.

Working really well helping me to digest my food more easily

This bottle of Wellness Resources Digestive Helper is working really well helping me to digest my food more easily. My doctor recommended that I take digestive enzymes, and I am very pleased with this product.

highly recommend

I’ve been using these for about 3 months and find them very helpful. I am intolerant to dairy, nuts, sesame, and a few other things. The older I get, the more certain foods seem to cause indigestion and/or make me feel bloated and gassy. I will definitely be keeping these on hand to offset foods I know I don’t tolerate well. These have helped me so much!I also love that this company has solid quality control measures and this product is made in the U.S.A.

Great Help in Digestion

I have been having a problem over the last year with digestion issues that result in a lot of heartburn, gas and bloating when I eat certain foods. It has been disconcerting because the worst offenders seem to be tomato based Italian style foods, i.e., pizza, spaghetti and pasta sauces, raw tomatoes, etc. I've been taken this digestive helper regularly for about 3 weeks now and can really tell a difference in my digestive health. I also have stopped eating the offending foods after 6 pm so that I'm not kept up into the night with discomfort and try not to lay down and sleep before my body has reasonably had enough time to digest my last meal consumption. Just immediately before consuming the offending foods, I take one capsule. These are easy to swallow, and the directions indicate you can alternately sprinkle capsule contents directly on your food, but I'd rather not do that. There are 50 capsules in one bottle, and the price is reasonable considering discomfort releive provided.

Helps process foods for sensitive stomachs

I got these for my husband, to help with digestion and processing foods, to help eliminate the effects of certain foods. It is easy to swallow and didn't cause any ill effects. It seems to be helping with his excess burping after meals.

I think this may have uncovered a mild gluten allergy, and taken care of it?

I'm not certain, but I've felt like getting tested before for a gluten allergy. Reason being I have a histamine reaction often when I've eaten a lot of bread or cereal. I don't like to eat bread with no gluten, it hard and tasteless most of the time. Plus, when I use my bread machines, if I don't actually use a good bread flour or add a scoop of gluten, I get flat loaves that don't rise properly. My reaction is not always, sometimes a hamburger bun or two does nothing, but If I have a bowl of cheerios or a sub sandwich, I often find myself coughing up phlegm. I've tried a lot of bread and cereals while taking this supplement with no reaction so it may help. I just got around to it recently, so more tests need to be tried. Since it seems to aid a number of digestive issues, it may not be gluten, but some other unknown issue, but as something that seems to be effective, I like this. Recommended.

Fantastic blend of digestive enzymes

This has prebiotics, probiotics and other helpful digestive enzymes. I'm so happy with it! I need all the help I can get in that department and it hasn't let me down. I have never had bad side effects from it. It's easier than getting yogurt in (which I keep forgetting to buy)...this works better because it bypasses the HCL acid in my stomach, which yogurt can't bypass.

Life changing enzymes

Digestive helper has made a big difference in how I digest my food. I have tried other enzymes with good results but Digestive Helper has improved my enjoyment of foods that in the past, even with enzymes, were difficult to process. Definitely worth looking into this product

Goodbye to bloat!

I recently discovered, after consuming some gummies that contain tapioca syrup, that my digestive system lacks the ability to properly digest that particular sweetener. This caused me pain and bloating that I found very concerning. Making matters worse, I had 3 bottles of 30 gummies each and it was starting to look like I might have to give them away or toss them in the trash. Having experienced similar pain and bloating when consuming chicory root syrup, I suspected I was probably sensitive to certain sweeteners and started looking into how I might be able to remedy the problem. Two products I tried didn't do a thing to help matters. Then I found Wellness Resources' Digestive Helper. This product has so many enzymes in it that I figured that if anything was going to help, it would probably be this product. Fortunately, luck was with me on this occasion and my hunch proved correct: the product has actually worked wonders! No more bloating and no more pain! The only downside is the price. At $28 per bottle, my cost to avoid pain is just about 85 cents per day. But given the alternative - unbearable pain - I am willing to put up with the added expense at least until I get through the gummies I bought.Note: After doing some more investigation, it would appear that it is the amylase in this product that is helping me digest tapioca syrup.

I won’t leave home without it!

This helps digest things like meat or oils or bread. This was recommended to a friend by a holistic doctor and so I bought some for my family and we swear by it. It’s a holy grail product for me.

So happy for Digestive helper

these capsules have helped me so much from the first time I took them. Always had terrible gas and enormous bloating after most every meal. And if I ate a large meal , there was hell to pay. Thanks so much to this company, as I have been trying to resolve this for 5 years with all kinds of products and tons of Probiotics, to no avail. Now,I no longer have to dread a social event.

I have not found any significant benefit. It has not risen to my expectations in regards to dealing with bowel bloating and better elimination.
