Zenwise Health Digestive Enzymes with Bromelain & Papaya - Multi Enzymes Digestion Supplement with Probiotics & Prebiotics for Gut Health, Gas & Bloating Relief - Men & Women - 60 Vegetarian Capsules

I picked up these Zenwise digestive enzymes because I was dealing with frequent bloating after meals, especially when eating heavier foods. After using them consistently for about two weeks, I did notice a difference. I usually take one capsule right before or with a bigger meal, and it seems to help my digestion feel smoother. I don’t get that overly full, uncomfortable feeling as often. It’s not a “magic fix,” but it definitely makes a noticeable improvement when I stay consistent. I like that it includes probiotics along with enzymes like bromelain and papaya. It feels more complete compared to basic enzyme supplements. The capsules are easy to swallow and didn’t cause any stomach discomfort for me. The bottle only has 45 capsules, so if you plan to take them daily, it won’t last very long. But for occasional use with heavier meals, it works well. Overall, if you deal with bloating or sluggish digestion, this is worth trying. It’s been helpful for me without any weird side effects.

Disclaimer: I haven't seen a gastroenterologist about any of my issues, so this is all personal anecdote/observation and self-diagnosis. I am not a medical professional. These pills have changed my life. Allow me to describe my situation before the pills: BEFORE: I had constant/chronic/consistent diarrhea, especially immediately after eating (practically anything), so life was hell. Any meal/snack was almost immediately followed by loose stools and messy bowel movements (and gas). This made scheduling life very difficult and full of interruptions and delays. Random trips to the bathroom everywhere suck, especially when you are out with friends/people and participating in time-sensitive activities, like movies, concerts, ceremonies, social events, etc. My symptoms resembled IBS-D (irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea), although never officially diagnosed, and/or leaky gut syndrome, and/or SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). To be honest, I feel like the current state of digestive disorder diagnosis is not well understood/developed and rather weak and even gut doctors can't consistently and definitively pinpoint exactly what's wrong with these kinds of cases with reliable accuracy (in my observations). Many articles and accounts of others with IBS-like symptoms generally have ambiguous or unknown causes and limited understanding of what exactly is wrong, and the treatment options are limited and ineffective, like simply avoiding trigger foods, which is not really a cure. My trigger foods were greasy/fatty foods and any milk dairy products, including milk, yogurt, cheeses, whey, lactose, etc., and as milk products are practically everywhere in Western foods in various forms, this made filtering what I eat and grocery shopping a nightmare. Even things like Pringles or chips have hidden milk products in them (Lactose, whey), and obviously classic American past times like pizza (cheese), pies (cream, butter), cheesecake (cheese, cream), coffee drinks e.g. cappuccino, mocha, latte, etc. (milk), milkshakes (milk), ice cream (milk, cream), cheese snacks (cheese, whey), etc. had to be completely eliminated from my life. FML; indeed, the future outlook of the rest of my life with respect to dietary pleasure & nutrition was looking rather grim, since milk products to provide important calcium & protein nutrients. My issues started about 3-4 years ago and have been gradually worsening since. Now, this pill is about as close to a cure as I could have hoped for! AFTER: Taking a pill before eating any significant meal/snack, I can essentially eat/drink whatever I want now, without any of the symptoms described above. My bowel movements have become very regular, predictable, and controllable i.e. no longer have urgency. My stool is solid and of healthy shape/color, and I almost never have to worry anymore about what I eat or the consequences thereafter. I can enjoy all the trigger foods I couldn't before, including greasy/fatty foods and milk dairy products, without having to worry about the aftermath anymore. Truly, a miraculous life savior in the form of pill. Again, as I am not a medical professional nor have seen a gastroenterologist about my issues before, I don't know exactly what it is either in my gut or in these pills that result in such magical, miraculous recovery, but my guess is some combination of the digestive enzymes + probiotics in the pills are greatly helping to regulate the mess that is my gut. Why my gut was such a mess before (or is without these pills) I have no clue. I have many guesses like severe lactose intolerance, IBS-D, leaky gut, SIBO, gluten intolerance, etc. -- just about everything under the sun as the symptoms of many of these digestive conditions overlap and are similar. I think that's why it's even difficult for the current medical practice to work with these conditions, as even IBS (as I understand) is less an explicit diagnosis on the presence of particular symptoms/markers than it is kind of the give-up answer after eliminating other potential causes. I've tried several other products before these pills and have had little success. My initial guess for my issues was predominantly lactose intolerance, so I've tried lactase enzyme pills and Lactobacillus Acidophilus probiotics that are supposed to help digest lactose. Although they did help a little bit, they never truly eliminated all my symptoms, whereas these pills have (so far in about 2 months time since I started taking them). So, lactose intolerance wasn't the only problem (if even a problem); clearly, I had issues with other substances in foods. Since day 1, even pill 1, I IMMEDIATELY noticed a beneficial effect, so these pills definitely have potency, are robust, and immediately effective. Hopefully within my lifetime, medical advances can cure me more permanently such that I don't need these pills, but until then, I will gladly take these pills before every meal and basically become dependent on them for life. Zenwise Health, please continue to make these pills for the next 100 years okay? Thanks! Value-wise, it's a great deal. $25 for 180 pill bottle, so if you eat 3 meals a day, the bottle lasts you 60 days or 2 months; if you eat 2 meals a day, that's 3 months. ~$25 per 2-3 months is totally reasonable. Even if you don't have major digestive issues like me, I still think the digestive enzymes/probiotics contained in these pills can do wonders for your digestion & gut. The concept behind them is to achieve/maintain supreme gut health and regularity. I do believe the unique combination of enzymes and probiotics in these pills accomplish that. Current medical/scientific understanding of the complex interactions/relationships between our gut, brain, body, and the millions of bacteria/microorganisms in our guts is limited, so it's still unclear exactly why certain substances/probiotics work for some people and do little for others (while others don't need any external assistance at all), but it's certainly worth a shot if you're suffering! It's a minor inconvenience to have to carry around the pills everywhere I go, but for what they give me: the ability to digest any/all foods effectively, regulate my bowel movements, enable proper nutrient absorption, and allow me to enjoy all my favorite cheesy dairy products again, it is SO WORTH IT. Okay, I rambled way too long here -- just goes to show how much these pills have changed my life. Zenwise Health, again, you guys are amazing for developing this miracle formula. Please continue to make these for decades to come -- I gladly support you.

I’ve been taking Zenwise Health Digestive Enzymes, and I’ve noticed a real improvement in my digestion. These enzymes help me feel less bloated and heavy after meals, especially when I eat foods that usually bother my stomach. The capsules are easy to swallow and don’t cause any nausea or discomfort.No bad taste and no icky smell. I like that this supplement supports digestion naturally and helps my body break down food more comfortably throughout the day. Since I started using them, I feel lighter after eating and more comfortable overall. It’s become something I rely on, especially with bigger meals. I would definitely recommend these digestive enzymes to anyone looking for digestive support!

I tried several different brands. Overall, the Zenwise are pretty good, but I don't like that they are bundled with probiotics because you have to be careful to get the right ones for you or else they can create more problems. Also, I think the price is a little high. I prefer the Double Wood because they have a better and broader selection of enzymes. Also theirs are two pills per serving, so you can take only one if you're having a small meal. Nutracost's enzymes are good too and at a much better price.

i’ve used them for several years. makes a big difference in how I feel after eating even though I eat healthy and in small portions , sone foods can always give problems . thee work really well , No bloat, no gas . highly recommend

**UPDATE 9.13.25. So I've bumped up my review from 1 star to 3 because Zenwise reached out to me after my review and offered me a full refund. You'll see in my original review, one of my issues is that this in non-returnable. That is only true as it relates to Amazon directly. Obviously, Zenwise is an upstanding company that aims for customer satisfaction. While I won't be ordering these again, I will absolutely consider other Zenwise products in the future. If you're on the fence about these or anything else from Zenwise products, rest easy knowing that they stand behind their products. ** Original Review: I've used NOW Super Enzymes for a few years with great results. For whatever reason, I decided to try something different. 70K good reviews for these was certainly a compelling reason, and the added probiotics seemed like a good thing, so I got them despite the higher cost. Clearly these work well for a LOT of people. Obviously, we're all a little different, but these weren't even neutral for me. Not only did they NOT seem to help with digestion, but they bloated my gut to uncomfortable and ridiculous proportions. Twice. The second time, I took a NOW Super Enzyme to see if it would help, and it absolutely did. I don't know what about me is so different that makes these worse than ineffective, but clearly something. Maybe my gut flora doesn't agree with the probiotics. Maybe I'd need to take these for awhile to adjust to the probiotics. I'm not too interested in going through that process, though. I'm generally in good health, with very regular BM activity. I don't have any particular gut or intestinal issues, but as I've gotten older, my digestion needs a boost once in awhile. It's probably best for me to stick with a basic digestive supplement like the NOW Super Enzymes when needed rather than add things in to fix issues I don't have. Of course, they're non-returnable on top of it. So I'm just out 40 bucks. It seems like there should be some type of return policy for items like this when it doesn't do what it's supposed to do, even though it can't be resold.

Quality product! Works well for our family digestive problems!

My mom had IBS-D and I've been having symptoms of the same thing. It's so frustrating. After eating, more times than not, I would desperately need a bathroom shortly after. These digestive enzymes have been a miracle game changer! No more cramps, no more gas, no more nausea, no more...... diarrhea.🙄 I am beyond happy! My body responded positively! These Enzymes are worth their weight in gold to me.
