Solgar Multi-Enzymes Complex vs Natures Aid Digestive Enzyme Complex – 60 Tablets

Pros

• ✓Consistently strong real-world results for users with gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, and IBD
• ✓Dual-action formula: digestive enzymes plus soothing botanicals (ginger, chamomile, fennel) for added gut comfort
• ✓Vegan-friendly vegi capsules — unusual for an enzyme complex that includes lactase
• ✓Reputable, long-established brand with strict in-house quality controls

Cons

• ✗Contains sulphites — a declared allergen, unsuitable for sulphite-sensitive individuals
• ✗No independent third-party testing (e.g., NSF, Informed Sport) to verify label claims
• ✗Lactase dose (1,000 ALU) is modest — those with severe lactose intolerance may require a dedicated higher-dose lactase product
• ✗Premium price point relative to simpler single-enzyme or own-brand alternatives

Best For

Pros

• ✓Many reviewers say it clearly reduced bloating and gas, including people with IBS and one taking Wegovy
• ✓Two reviewers with constipation, one with IBS and one on a mainly carnivore diet, say their bowel movements became regular
• ✓Some people feel it working fast: one says within minutes, another says about half an hour after a tablet
• ✓A broad enzyme mix, including lactase for dairy, plus betaine HCl for stomach acid support

Cons

• ✗Contains wheat and soy, even though it's marketed to allergy sufferers and labelled gluten-free. One reviewer was unhappy to find these in it
• ✗A few reviewers noticed no difference at all, and one said it made their bloating worse
• ✗Two reviewers got faulty stock: one tub arrived damaged and wet, and in another the tablets were glued together. That buyer said no refund was offered and getting a replacement was slow
• ✗The information provided gives no enzyme activity levels or betaine dose, and it lacks the extra protein-digesting enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin (one reviewer noted this). It isn't third-party tested
