About this product
Lipase, bromelain, papain, and amylase cover fat, protein, and carbohydrate digestion. Apple pectin and apple-cider-vinegar ingredients add a small non-enzyme component.
Gastro-Block is listed at 400 mg without its contents or purpose. Enzyme activity units are also absent, so the labeled milligram weights cannot confirm useful catalytic strength.
The one-tablet chewable and 90-serving supply are convenient at moderate cost. Limited transparency makes it difficult to choose over a fully disclosed enzyme product.
Pros
One-tablet serving Includes lipase, papain, bromelain, and amylase 90-serving supply Moderate serving cost
Cons
Gastro-Block contents are undisclosed No enzyme activity units Pectin and vinegar amounts are small Contains 2 g carbohydrate
Warnings
Papain may trigger reactions with papaya or latex allergy, while bromelain may affect people with pineapple allergy. Bromelain and papain may add to bleeding tendency with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines. The undisclosed Gastro-Block ingredient prevents a complete interaction review.
