Hasn’t appeared in a scanned product yet.
As a supplement
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
An enzyme that breaks down starches into simpler sugars. It is naturally produced in saliva and the pancreas, and supplemental amylase is typically derived from fungal or bacterial sources.
Why it’s used
Included in digestive enzyme blends, taken to support the breakdown of starchy foods.
What the evidence says
There is little controlled research on supplemental amylase for people with normal digestion; most enzyme-replacement research concerns people with diagnosed pancreatic insufficiency, not general digestive support.

"Amylase"[Title/Abstract]
This says what this database holds under these terms. It is not a finding that no research exists.
Context
Amylase activity in research and on labels is usually reported in enzyme activity units, not milligrams, so no comparable mass-based dose range applies.
