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 pectin, the structural carbohydrate found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. In supplements it is usually produced by fermenting a mold such as Aspergillus niger, then purified.
Why it’s used
Included in digestive-enzyme blends on the theory that it helps break down plant fiber during digestion.
What the evidence says
There is little direct human trial evidence on pectinase as a stand-alone digestive aid. Most support for enzyme blends comes from their use in food processing, not from clinical studies of digestion in people.
