Introducing our Digestive Enzymes, a clean and comprehensive supplement to help you digest your food comfortably. So your body can absorb even more of the nutrients on your plate — without cramping, bloating, gas or constipation.*
As always, Smidge® Digestive Enzymes are free of additives and common allergens, and made in small batches.
Dosage Directions:
Always start with a smidge! Start with one capsule with food. Then, take two capsules together, as directed by a certified healthcare practitioner. (See "low and slow" note below.) Take your dose at the beginning of a meal, so the supplement can help digest the food you’re eating.
How to use: Our Digestive Enzymes can be used regularly to help with digestive issues or as an occasional supplement for hard-to-digest meals and certain foods (i.e., lactose, gluten, fats or restaurant meals).
For children and sensitive adults, a smaller dose may be obtained by pulling apart the capsule and taking a portion of the contents.
Warning: Smidge® Digestive Enzymes are not recommended for children under the age of 3, unless otherwise prescribed by a physician. Also, please avoid if you have mold sensitivities, an Aspergillus allergy, or a compromised immune system, as the enzymes are derived from Aspergillus (fungus) via fermentation.*
Start low and slow: Smidge® supplements are premium, pure and potent. Therefore, it's critically important to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a very small dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what dosage feels right for you.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry area, away from direct light.

Our sourcing and process
We source Smidge® Digestive Enzymes with a strong commitment to quality and safety. This begins with the cleanest microbe that produces key digestive enzymes.These enzymes are cultivated under controlled conditions containing a nutrient-rich medium. Each batch is then tested for enzyme activity levels, purity and safety.
Helps digest fat, carbs, casein, gluten, beans and more
If you're new to a real food diet rich in healthy fats (hello, fat bombs!), we've got your back. These enzyme capsules have three types of lipase that help digest fat.
They also include enzymes to help digest complex carbs in gassy foods like beans, cabbage and broccoli, and starchy foods like oats and rice.
Their DPP-IV enzymes support the breakdown of casein and gluten.
Great for travel and dining out
Our customers say Smidge® Digestive Enzymes are a must-have travel companion. And good to tote to parties or dining out, where you likely won't know the ingredient list for those cute hors d'oeuvres.
May ease cramping, bloating, gas, constipation
These little enzyme capsules may help ease common digestive symptoms from tough-to-digest foods, like cramping, bloating, gas and occasional constipation.* Here's how.
Your body produces enzymes, which break down food into energy in the gut. Think of each of the parts needed for digestion, like the mouth, stomach, pancreas and intestines… each secretes these essential enzymes.
When your body isn't producing enough enzymes (or if they're late to the sweet potato party), your food cannot fully digest. This can lead to myriad health issues like gas, bloating, indigestion, occasional diarrhea and constipation, prolonged intestinal imbalance, dysbiosis, and other more severe inflammatory conditions.
Our enzyme capsules work in your tummy to help properly digest your food before it travels through the rest of your gut.* So your small intestine doesn't get loaded with your entire meal — and your body can absorb all of those healthy nutrients. 😊

What is in Smidge® Digestive Enzymes?
-
Amylase: The digestive enzyme amylase, found in saliva and pancreatic fluid, helps convert starch and glycogen into simple sugars.*
-
Glucoamylase: A digestive enzyme naturally released by the small intestine. It helps break down carbohydrates and starch found in most veggies, for easy absorption by the body.*
-
Invertase: This digestive enzyme is found in our mouths, and starts the process of chemical digestion. It also helps break down sugar into fructose and glucose.*
-
Lactase: A digestive enzyme in the small intestine of humans and other mammals. It's essential to the complete digestion of whole milk, as it breaks down lactose, a sugar which gives milk its sweetness.*
-
Maltase: This digestive enzyme is present in saliva and pancreatic juice, yeasts, bacteria and plants. It helps break down maltose and similar sugars to form glucose.* Maltose develops in many starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes, nuts and legumes when they're digested or cooked.
-
Alpha-Galactosidase: The digestive enzyme alpha-galactosidase is naturally found in green coffee beans, and several other plants and mammals, including humans. It's been shown to reduce gas production following a meal rich in fermentable carbs by breaking down the sugar-fat complexes commonly found in hard-to-digest foods like broccoli, cabbage, peanuts and beans.* And it may be helpful in patients with gas-related symptoms.*
-
Beta-Glucanase: Beta-Glucanase is a group of carbohydrate enzymes which breaks down bonds within beta-glucan, found in heavy grains like oats, barley and rye as well in fungi like candida.*
-
Phytase: This digestive enzyme is a key to bone health.* Commonly found in plant material, it helps break down grains, legumes, seeds and corn.
-
Protease Peptidase Complex: One of the few digestive enzymes found in the pancreas and the stomach that helps with the breakdown of proteins like gluten and casein, rich in the amino acid, proline.* They also play a vital role in blood clotting and cell division.*
-
Lipase: This digestive enzyme — produced in the pancreas, mouth and stomach — helps break down dietary fats so the intestines easily absorb them. It also allows nutrients and waste to move through cellular walls.*
-
Cellulose (base for encapsulation): Cellulose is a naturally occurring substance (ie a long chain of sugar molecules) that's an important cellular component of green plants. We chose this ingredient to satisfy the needs of our most sensitive customers.
-
Vegetarian Capsule: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), water. Our vegetable (vegan) capsules consist of only two ingredients: HPMC and purified water. HPMC is derived from vegetable cellulose of either pine or poplar. 100% natural, these capsules contain no preservatives, no gelatin, wheat, animal by-products or starch.
