Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
A general name for a group of enzymes, most often amylase, that break down starch into simpler sugars; often derived from malted grains, fungi, or bacterial fermentation.
Why it’s used
Included in digestive-support supplements to aid the breakdown of starches during digestion.
What the evidence says
Enzyme supplements like diastase are used based on their known biochemical function of breaking down starch, but controlled human trials demonstrating a meaningful digestive symptom benefit from oral diastase supplementation specifically are limited.
