Multi Enzyme (formerly B.P.P.)
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the proteolytic enzyme pepsin that are secreted in the stomach, and the pancreatic enzymes (amylase, lipase, and protease) secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine are essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. A supplement containing these enzymes can provide benefit in situations when less than optimal amounts are produced in the body – like during the natural aging process.
HCl facilitates the body’s absorption of multiple nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, and various forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Pancreatic enzymes facilitate the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, CoQ10, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Benefits of Thorne's Multi Enzyme:
- Provides support for occasional indigestion
- Minimizes gas and bloating
- Helps maintain bowel regularity
- Optimizes absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients
- Benefits individuals after over-use of antacids
- Supports individuals with food sensitivities
Key Features of Thorne's Multi Enzyme:
- Contains undiluted pepsin and pancreatin
- Does not contain lactose, which is often used to dilute pepsin and pancreatin
ALLERGY WARNING:
This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.
PREGNANCY:
If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product.
INTERACTIONS:
Multi Enzyme should not be used concurrent with H2-blocking drugs and proton pump inhibitors because these drugs are intended to block the production of stomach HCl.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS:
Multi Enzyme is contraindicated in patients with peptic ulcers. It is not recommended to remove the Multi Enzyme powder from the capsule to take orally, as it can be irritating to the oral mucosa.
How to Use:
Take 1-2 capsules with each meal or as recommended by your health professional.

Supporting Thousands On Their Wellness Path Every Day
Let customers speak for us
from 1052 reviewsI had a wonderful experience at Village Green Apothecary. Their staff is top notch in regards to both fund of knowledge and customer care. Gail, the owner, was extremely pleasant taking time to have a one on one conversation with me. Brian also showed himself to be extremely well read, passionate, and driven in this field. You won’t regret coming here for your health needs.

Organic Chamomile with Lavender
I've been using essential oil balms for aches and pains, and they definitely help but their smell is rather strong. Magsoothium cream, by contrast, has a mild, pleasant flowery smell. I use it when I go out and do find it effective for moderate pain. I also use it at bedtime on my calves, as the magnesium helps with leg cramps which often wake me up - and it might be helping me to sleep better as well! I first ordered the small size to test it out, but took advantage of a recent sale and ordered two of the large size.
I appreciate how Village Green supplies the order quickly and efficiently!
High quality goods, well-informed friendly staff, reasonable pricing and regular discounts. Feels old school and good to have a small shop that's so well stocked.
I have been ordering from Village Green Apothecary for years and can’t say enough about the staff’s expertise and all they have available for customers in guidance and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Louis & Tatiana for their guidance, help & support for years. I am forever grateful! I also want to thank Brian, Kirsten, Kayla & the pharmacist for all their help. Another positive about Village Green is their rewards program, supplement sales which are often and especially their phenomenal semi-annual store wide sales. I have recommended Village Green Apothecary to all those I know!
