Zenwise Daily Digestive Enzymes is a product that comprises of all-natural, plant-based enzymes formulated to address the symptoms of IBS and general abdominal discomfort. There are many digestive aid dietary supplements in the health market. This review aims to distinguish Zenwise Daily Digestive Enzymes from similar products in this health category and to examine the extent to which it is likely to be effective. This is a relatively good supplement manufacturer so we were happy to see that they had produced a product such as this.
We really liked that this product used a combination of digestive enzymes, synergistic herbal support, and probiotics. We liked that they included ginger and turmeric and that they serve their supplement in a veggie capsule. We thought that this was a great start on first glance at their label. Upon further inspection, we had some doubts about just how effective this formula actually will be. The level of probiotic it contains is relatively low (1 billion CFU/gm), most other stand-alone products contain 10 billion CFU/gm, so we seriously question by including such a small amount, what real difference are you going to feel? We remain unconvinced. What’s more, with probiotics, they have a shelf life and must be kept refrigerated so we’re concerned that there were no instructions that this product should be kept in the refrigerator. This was a red flag for us.
We also found several inactive ingredients in their formula that we didn’t like – namely magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. The issue for us is that most synthetic chemical compounds can trigger IBS in some way, and really should not be included in the formula. They can also reduce the effectiveness of the active formula and we remain unsure what impact they may have on the body general, especially over long term use. Their label fails to state clearly and exactly how much of each of these ingredients are contained within their proprietary formula, something that consumers need to be aware of. That said, in the lab, its ingredients showed consistency with the label claims, which is a positive point.
This product contains ingredients that are natural and appear to be derived from top quality sources. Zenwise Daily Digestive Enzymes is a safe herbal supplement if it is taken according to proper recommendations. It has no reported side effects and can be taken with most medications.
The only concern for us, with this supplement, is the issue of how the inactive ingredients may react with your body and if they may cause a negative reaction or an IBS flare-up. Most consumer reviews we read didn’t mention that this was the case, however, we still remain unsure on this point.
Zenwise says every product comes with a no-questions, money-back guarantee. Contact the manufacturer for more specifics as to whether opened products are included, and how long after purchase goods can be returned.
The product receives a high rating of good reviews, and based on the science we would think this is down to the synthesis of both prebiotics and probiotics which could provide support for the body to help overcome the challenging symptoms of IBS. We would have liked to see the addition of zinc and an assurance from the manufacturer that it is safe for celiac disease sufferers, which it is not. Therefore, the product could contain trace elements of gluten which could trigger IBS, depending on an individual’s sensitivity to it. We would have also liked increased transparency on the exact nature and ambit of the money-back guarantee. If it is valid for 6 months, for example, it is strange that this would not have been explicitly stated. On the whole, we think this is a good mix of ingredients.
