Ultrazyme 180t by Douglas Laboratories – Mealtime Digestive Enzyme Support
Ultrazyme digestive enzyme tablets by Douglas Laboratories combine animal-derived and plant-derived enzymes with ox bile for mealtime digestion support. This polyphasic enzyme complex brings together enzymes with different digestive roles rather than relying on a single enzyme.
Key Ultrazyme 180t Benefits
- Supports the digestion of dietary fats through pancreatic lipase, with ox bile providing bile components that help fats mix with digestive fluids.
- Helps break down dietary proteins through complementary protein-digesting enzymes, including pancreatic protease, bromelain and pepsin.
- Supports starch digestion with pancreatic amylase, helping turn larger carbohydrate molecules into smaller units during the normal digestive process.
How Ultrazyme 180t Works
Food must be broken into smaller pieces before the body can absorb its nutrients. Different enzymes handle different parts of a meal: lipase works on fats, amylase on starches, and proteases on proteins. Ultrazyme combines these activities with bile components for fat digestion, while pepsin and bromelain add complementary protein digestion activity.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Pancreatin(8X) USP: Supplies lipase, amylase and protease, enzymes that help break down fats, starches and proteins, respectively. These digestive activities turn larger food molecules into smaller components that can undergo further digestion and absorption, supporting the body's normal processing of mixed meals.
- Bromelain: Provides protein-digesting enzymes from the pineapple plant. These enzymes split bonds within proteins, helping reduce larger protein structures into smaller pieces. Bromelain adds a plant-derived source of protein-digesting activity to this formula's animal-derived enzymes.
- Ox Bile Extract: Supplies bile components that help fats disperse in watery digestive fluids. This mixing makes dietary fat more accessible to lipase, the enzyme that breaks fats into smaller components, complementing the pancreatin portion of the formula.
- Cellulase: Breaks bonds in cellulose, a structural carbohydrate in plant cell walls. Its activity differs from amylase, which works on starch, adding another type of carbohydrate-processing enzyme to the formula. It does not replace the nutritional role of dietary fiber.
- Pepsin 1:10,000: Is a protein-digesting enzyme that works in acidic conditions. Pepsin begins breaking large proteins into smaller fragments, a step that prepares them for further digestion by other protein-digesting enzymes. Its role complements pancreatic protease and bromelain.

- Adults who wish to supplement their diet with a combination of digestive enzymes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ultrazyme 180t
What are the benefits of Ultrazyme 180t?
Ultrazyme combines pancreatin, bromelain, pepsin, cellulase and ox bile for mealtime digestive support. Its enzymes help break down fats, proteins and carbohydrates, while bile components help dietary fats mix with digestive fluids.
Who should take Ultrazyme 180t?
The label recommends Ultrazyme for adults who wish to supplement their diet with digestive enzymes. It combines animal-derived and plant-derived ingredients, so it is not a vegetarian formula. Ask your healthcare professional whether this combination fits your needs, particularly if you take medicines.
Are there any side effects of taking Ultrazyme 180t?
Bromelain, one of the enzymes in Ultrazyme, can cause stomach upset or diarrhea. Talk with your healthcare professional before use if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding; information on bromelain use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Tamper resistant package, do not use if outer seal is missing.
How does Ultrazyme 180t support overall health?
Normal digestion prepares food for nutrient absorption. Ultrazyme supplies enzymes that break larger food molecules into smaller components, along with ox bile to assist fat digestion. These digestive functions complement a balanced diet; the formula does not replace dietary fiber or varied foods.
