- Digestive Enzyme Blend.
- Supports Digestion of Starches & Fats: Rice, Potatoes, Beans, Butter & Oils, Nuts & Seeds.
- Dietary Supplement.
Supports digestion of carbohydrates and fats.
- Less dietary issues from starches in vegetables, dairy, beans and grains.
- Contains lactase for lactose intolerance.
- Alpha-galactosidase decreases gas and bloating when consuming beans and cruciferous vegetables.
- Provides mild help for proteins.
- Preserves helpful dietary fibers from premature break down (no cellulase or glucanase added).
- New formula adds xylanase to lessen stool firming.
Zyme Prime has been expertly formulated to target issues related to the digestion of both Starches and Fats. The digestion of foods like Rice, Potatoes, Beans, Butter & Oils, and Nuts & Seeds is supported with the active enzymes in Zyme Prime.
Zyme Prime supports the FODMAP Diet, is stool-firming, and also helps with gassy foods.
The enzyme blend was formulated by enzyme biochemist Dr. Houston to include a balanced combination of Amylase, Xylanase, Protease, Glycoamylase, Alpha-Galactosidase, Lactase, and Lipase.
While not as potent in protein breakdown as AFP Peptizyde, Zyme Prime excels at carb breakdown. This results in less dietary distress, as well as helping certain food problems such as lactose intolerance.

Suggested Use:
No upper limit has been established for oral enzyme supplementation. Animal studies indicate that extremely large doses of enzymes may be ingested without toxicity or ill effect. Most report Zyme Prime dosing of from 1 to 4 capsules per meal. Dosing is based on the amount of food ingested during a meal, not by body weight or age. Feel free to vary the dosage of Zyme Prime based on content and size of meal. Those meals higher in carbohydrates and/or fats may call for higher doses of Zyme Prime. For reasons of practicality, no more than 5 capsules need be taken at one time, with no more than 9 capsules taken consistently in any 24-hour period.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take Zyme Prime products with my medications?
Yes. Zyme Prime and ZyCarb can be taken with other supplements and medications. One should use caution with cellulase-containing products with sustained-release products. While no incidents have been reported, in theory, cellulase may affect a cellulose-regulated release mechanism.
Will taking oral enzymes cause my pancreas to stop making enzymes?
No. Studies have shown little or no effect of oral enzymes on pancreatic enzyme production. The pancreas enzyme production is not regulated by a feedback system, and has no way of determining whether you are taking oral enzymes.
What is the dosing for Zyme Prime?
No one dose is suitable for all. Dosing is not calculated based on age or body weight, but by how much is eaten in any one meal. Large meals or meals with foods that may not be well-tolerated, may require higher levels of enzyme. No toxicity occurs at any dosing level for enzymes so you can take many with no worry of side effects. We encourage some experimentation to find the amount that works best for you. 1 or 2 capsules per meal seems to be fine for most, however.
