What is in V-Enzymes?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 2 capsules. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- Its 600 mg of alpha-amylase (filed by NIH under amylase) is higher than over 99% of the 326 amylase products that print an amount; 2 list more.
- Its 340 mg of protease, bacterial (filed by NIH under proteolytic enzymes (proteases)) (3 rows of the label added together) is higher than 93% of the 327 proteolytic enzymes (proteases) products that print an amount; 23 list more.
- Its 80 mg of cellulase is higher than 93% of the 184 cellulase products that print an amount; 12 list more.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
