Zymessence
Dr. Wong's Essentials
Overview
Zymessence combines several digestive enzymes with trace amounts of minerals. While the included enzymes (pancreatin, protease, amylase, lipase, serratiopeptidase, bromelain, and papain) are known to aid in the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, the lack of specified quantities for each enzyme, alongside negligible mineral quantities limits the ability to fully assess its overall effectiveness. Serratiopeptidase also has limited evidence for its other purported effects.
