Super Enzymes
Super Enzymes by NOW is a digestive enzyme blend containing 9 ingredients, including Betaine HCl (200 mg), Ox Bile extract (100 mg), and various enzymes. This product received an N+ Score of 46, earning an F grade, indicating a below-average quality assessment. Calcium is included at 20 mg, which is significantly underdosed for any meaningful physiological effect. While the enzyme blend provides Papain (100,000 FCCPU) and Bromelain (120 GDU), the overall efficacy is difficult to fully assess without more detailed information on enzyme activity units for all components. This product may be suitable for individuals seeking general digestive support with a broad spectrum of enzymes, though the Calcium dosage is negligible.
