FIQ Digestive | Morley – Full Spectrum Digestive Enzyme Capsules – Lab Tested
In a placebo-controlled crossover trial, one dose of a multi-enzyme blend taken with a meal cut measured abdominal distension by 58% at 30 minutes and 68% at 90. This is eighteen plant-based enzymes with every activity unit printed on the panel, taken with the meal.
For adults who want mealtime support around richer or protein-dense plates. 3 vegetable capsules daily with meals; 30 servings per bottle.
- 18 Enzymes, All Disclosed
- Activity Units Printed
- Plant-Based Enzymes
- Vegetable Capsule
- No Proprietary Blends
- No Animal-Derived Enzymes
- No Synthetic Vitamins
- No Seed Oils
Why people use it
- Every enzyme named, every unit printed. Eighteen enzymes, each with its activity units on the panel: 60,000 HUT of protease, 15,000 DU of amylase, 3,750 FIP of lipase, and so on down the list. Enzyme products are compared by activity units, not milligrams, and this one gives you all of them.
- Enzymes belong at the front of the meal. Protease, amylase, and lipase activity work on food while it moves through, so the capsules go in with the first bite rather than after the plate is clear.
- Supports gut integrity and nutrient absorption. FIQ's own framing: a synergistic formula that enhances the integrity of your gut by promoting the absorption of nutrients and water. Plant-based enzymes covering protein, starch, fat, fiber, dairy sugar, and the bean sugars most people struggle with.
- For the meals that sit heavy. A double-blind crossover trial in 16 healthy adults found acid-resistant lipase taken right before a 55%-fat meal lowered reported stomach fullness at 20 and 30 minutes versus placebo.
- Pairs with a nutrient-dense plate. Organ meat, collagen, and rich food are the point of the rest of this line. This is the capsule people reach for when those meals start to feel like work.
Supplement Facts
Serving size 3 vegetable capsules; 30 servings per container. Read straight from the manufacturer's panel. Enzyme activity is measured in assay-specific units rather than milligrams, which is why the numbers look unfamiliar and why publishing them matters.

|---|---|---|
| Protease 1 | 60,000 HUT | Dietary protein |
| Protease 2 | 12,000 HUT | Dietary protein, at a different pH range |
| Aspergillopepsin | 300 SAPU | Protein in the acidic stomach environment |
| Amylase | 15,000 DU | Starch |
| Lipase | 3,750 FIP | Dietary fat |
| Cellulase | 1,500 CU | Plant cell wall fiber |
| Glucoamylase | 150 AGU | Starch fragments, down to glucose |
| Invertase | 600 SU | Sucrose |
| Alpha Galactosidase | 150 GalU | The bean and cruciferous sugars |
| Beta Glucanase | 195 BGU | Beta-glucan fiber from oats and barley |
| Pectinase | 50.7 PGU | Pectin from fruit and vegetables |

| Phytase | 30 FTU | Phytate, which binds minerals in plant foods |
| Hemicellulase | 3,000 HCU | Hemicellulose fiber |
| Lactase | 1,500 ALU | Lactose, the dairy sugar |

| Papain | 1,500,000 PU | Protein; a proteolytic enzyme from papaya |
| Peptidase | 480 DPPIV | Peptide fragments left by the proteases |
Other ingredients: maltodextrin, vegetable capsule (hypromellose and water), medium chain triglycerides. Panel as published by the manufacturer. Background on what supplemental proteases and lipases do comes from a 2025 Nutrients review. Every product is lab tested; certificates of analysis on request, about a 2-week turnaround.
How to use
- Adults: 3 capsules daily, preferably with meals, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
- Take them at the start. Enzymes act on food in transit, so capsules swallowed after the plate is cleared have less to work on.
- Split them if you eat three real meals: one capsule per plate works as well as three at once for most people.
- Swallow whole. Do not open the capsules into your mouth; protease activity can be irritating on tissue.
- If mild nausea or loose stools show up, drop back or take them with a smaller meal.
Sourcing & making
Made for the FIQ line, the Morley formula: eighteen plant-based enzymes in a hypromellose vegetable capsule, with maltodextrin and medium chain triglycerides as carriers. Every activity unit is printed on the panel, which is the whole test of an honest enzyme product. Every product is lab tested. Certificates of analysis on request, about a 2-week turnaround.

Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Adults who want mealtime support around larger, richer, or protein-dense meals
- People eating an organ-and-collagen-heavy plate who find it heavy going
- Anyone who wants an enzyme product that prints its activity units instead of saying 'full spectrum' and stopping
Probably not for you if:
- You have a pineapple or papaya allergy. The blend carries bromelain and papain.
- You are under 18, unless a qualified practitioner directs it.

The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Full spectrum digestive enzyme blend (proteases, lipase, amylase, lactase, cellulase)
Nutrition and Dietary Supplements · 2024 · RCT · n=20 healthy adults (crossover)
In a randomized placebo-controlled crossover trial in 20 healthy adults, a single dose of an 18-enzyme blend with ginger, fennel and peppermint taken with a meal reduced measured abdominal distension by 58% at 30 minutes and 68% at 90 minutes versus placebo, while self-reported symptom scores only trended in the same direction.
Lipase component of the digestive enzyme blend
Lipase Supplementation before a High-Fat Meal Reduces Perceptions of Fullness in Healthy Subjects
Gut and Liver · 2015 · RCT · n=16 healthy volunteers (crossover)
In a double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial in 16 healthy adults, 280 mg of acid-resistant lipase taken immediately before a 55%-fat meal lowered reported stomach fullness at 20 and 30 minutes versus placebo, with no change in bloating, nausea or gastric electrical activity.
Supplemental proteases and lipases
Potential Roles of Exogenous Proteases and Lipases as Prebiotics
Nutrients · 2025 · mechanistic review · n=13 studies (all animal)
Reviewing 13 studies, all of them in animals, the authors report that supplemental proteases and lipases shifted gut microbiota composition and raised short-chain fatty acid production, with human trials named as the next step.
Evidence note: Two small randomized human crossover trials (n=20 and n=16) measured post-meal distension and fullness after multi-enzyme and lipase products, and FIQ's panel publishes activity units for all 18 enzymes, so this formula can be compared unit for unit against those blends. What remains to be studied is this exact combination in a trial of its own.
FAQ
When exactly should I take it?
With the meal, or right before it. Enzymes work on food as it moves through the stomach and small intestine, so a capsule taken after the meal is over has less left to act on. Make it part of sitting down, not part of clearing the table.
Which enzymes are in it, and how much?
All eighteen are named on the panel with their activity units, and the full table is above. Protease 1 at 60,000 HUT and Protease 2 at 12,000 HUT lead it, with 15,000 DU of amylase and 3,750 FIP of lipase. That is what lets you compare this against any other enzyme product on the shelf.
What do HUT, DU, and FIP mean?
They are assay-specific activity units, the standard way enzyme potency is measured: HUT for protease, DU for amylase, FIP for lipase, ALU for lactase, and so on. Milligrams tell you the weight of powder; activity units tell you what it can actually do.
Does it help with dairy and beans?
Those are covered specifically. Lactase at 1,500 ALU works on lactose, the dairy sugar, and alpha galactosidase at 150 GalU works on the raffinose-family sugars in beans and cruciferous vegetables. Phytase is in there too, for the phytate in plant foods that binds minerals.
Can I get a certificate of analysis?
Yes. Every product is lab tested and certificates of analysis are available on request, about a 2-week turnaround. Email us with your lot number and we'll start it.
