The best digestive enzyme supplements you can buy in the UK (top 5)
Your gut is one of the most important parts of your body, and we're passionate about reminding people to look after their digestive system. This is why we write guides about things like probiotic drinks and probiotic yoghurts.
But if your gut really needs a boost then often it's a good idea to start taking digestive enzyme supplements. There are lots of digestive enzyme supplements out there which can help your gut, so we wanted to round up the best supplements like this that you can buy, let’s get into it:
Feel Digestion
Enzymes are key to good digestion, and any supplement which contains digestive enzymes is definitely going to help your digestion. That’s why the Feel Digestion supplement is so great - each capsule contains 5 different digestive enzymes, including glucoamylase, lipase and lactase. But you also get 5 botanicals in each capsule to further enhance digestion, including ginger root and peppermint leaf extract. Learn more and buy it here - amazon.co.uk
Vitabiotics Wellzyme
We’re huge fans of many of the products from Vitabiotics, including the excellent protein shaker from the brand. But the brand is best known for health supplements, and Wellzyme is one of the best supplements from the brand. The Advanced Formula Wellzyme contains 15 different digestive enzymes which will help to improve your digestion. For example, lactase enzyme which will help to improve your digestion of lactose. Other digestive enzymes in the supplement include protease, amylase, and xylanase. Learn more and buy it here - vitabiotics.com
Bioglan Biotic Balance Inulin
This digestion supplement from Bioglan is made from Inulin, which comes from chicory root. It’s a water soluble fibre which is non-digestible, which means it passes through the stomach and the small intestine and sits in the large intestine where it is fermented by the gut bacteria. You can mix the powder into anything you like, from water to juice, and the taste is really discreet. With 4.5g of fibre per 5g, it’s very high in Fibre too.

Fruits and Fibres Regular
What’s really impressive about this digestive supplement is that it’s 100% natural - each chewable cube is made from fruits which are high in fibre and enzymes. This includes figs, dates (as we mentioned in our guide about how healthy Nakd bars are), and rhubarb. Each cube contains 1.6g of fibre, and we think they’re really tasty. Plus, it’s really convenient to just eat a couple of cubes when you want a bit more Fibre in your diet. Learn more and buy it here - hollandandbarrett.com
Fybogel
Being able to drink this digestive supplement from Fybogel is really useful - you just mix a sachet with water and you’ve immediately got a tasty orange drink which is very high in fibre. Fybogel is made from 100% Ispaghula Husk which is a soluble fibre. You can drink one of these sachets every day, and it usually works within 12 to 24 hours. It tastes good and it’s convenient, so we think it’s a great fibre supplement. Learn more and buy it here - amazon.co.uk
