Short answer
One capsule of Physician's Choice Digestive Enzymes holds an 85 mg blend of 16 named enzymes and a 159 mg prebiotic and probiotic blend with three Bacillus probiotics. The directions are 1 capsule with the largest meal. Bloat + Gas Probiotic is a separate formula: a 325 mg pre, pro and postbiotic blend built around B. subtilis OPTIBIOME BS50 at 2 billion CFU, a 50 mg herbal blend and a 36 mg enzyme blend that includes alpha-galactosidase. Both labels are entered below, line by line.
The questions behind this record
Taken word for word from public posts in the 30 days before publication. They frame the question. They are not reviews of any product.
| Asked, in their words | Where |
|---|---|
| "Anyone try Physicans [sic] Choice digestive enzymes and probiotics?" | Public Reddit post, r/GutHealth, Sep 2026 |
| "Does anyone have experience with these products?" | Public Reddit post, r/GutHealth, Sep 2026 |
| "What's everyone's thoughts on digestive enzymes? Considering trying them but skeptical" | Public Reddit post, r/Supplements, Sep 2026 |
Digestive Enzymes, entry by entry
Each line is entered as printed on the Supplement Facts panel. Two lines are held until Physician's Choice confirms them, because two of its own sources describe them differently.
| Line on label | Per capsule | Entered as | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Serving size | 1 capsule | 60 servings per container, 60-count bottle | Confirmed |

Bloat + Gas Probiotic, entry by entry
A different formula with a smaller enzyme blend. Two blends are confirmed in full; one enzyme entry is held.
| Line on label | Per capsule | Entered as | Status |

Serving size, directions and other ingredients for Bloat + Gas Probiotic are being confirmed with Physician's Choice.
The two labels side by side
The two products share one probiotic, B. subtilis OPTIBIOME BS50, and both list alpha-galactosidase. The rest differs. Where the two sit among the other Physician's Choice products that contain probiotics is shown in PC-REC-003.
What the label does not state: activity units
Enzyme strength can be shown in activity units for each enzyme. Innerbody describes the FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) as "an independent standard that defines enzyme activity units." The Digestive Enzymes label lists its enzymes by total blend weight, 85 mg. If Physician's Choice publishes units per enzyme, they will be added to this record and logged in the changelog.
For context, Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that over-the-counter enzyme supplements commonly contain amylase, lipase and protease, and that some add lactase and alpha-galactosidase. It explains that alpha-galactosidase breaks down galactooligosaccharides, a fiber found mostly in beans, root vegetables and some dairy products.
Digestive Enzymes: directions, warnings and shelf life
- Directions
- 1 capsule with the largest meal. Some people take one more with a heavy meal; most do not take more than 2 a day.
- Warnings
- Not recommended under 18, or if pregnant, nursing or taking prescription medication, without talking to a provider. Use caution with a pineapple or papaya allergy.
- Shelf life
- About 2 years from manufacture. The date is on the bottom of the bottle. Next to the storage lines of the probiotics: PC-REC-005.
- Enzyme source
- Vegan and vegetarian. Microbial and plant enzymes, including bromelain from pineapple and papain from papaya.
- Testing and origin
- Every batch tested by an accredited outside lab. Made in the USA in a cGMP-certified facility. The company testing program, and how it differs from a certification seal, is in PC-REC-004.
The labels, as photographed
Both products are made by Physician's Choice, which keeps this record. The record lists what the labels say. It does not rank or recommend either one.
