No. Orthoplex HCL Capsules are not a digestive enzyme formula. They contain betaine hydrochloride, gentian, ginger and zinc. Customers looking specifically for enzymes should check whether the product contains ingredients such as protease, lipase, amylase or lactase.

Each capsule contains betaine hydrochloride 500mg, Gentiana lutea root dry concentrated extract 75mg, equivalent to 300mg dry root, Zingiber officinale ginger rhizome dry concentrated extract 40mg, equivalent to 400mg dry rhizome, and zinc 10mg as zinc citrate dihydrate.

Gentian is a bitter herb traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support healthy appetite, maintain digestive system function and stimulate gastric secretions. It is commonly used in formulas designed for meal-time digestive support.

Ginger is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support digestive comfort and healthy digestive system function. In this formula, it works alongside gentian, betaine hydrochloride and zinc as part of a digestive support blend.

The adult dose is 1 capsule twice daily, taken 15 to 60 minutes before main meals, or as recommended by a registered healthcare practitioner. Always follow the product label and avoid taking more than directed.

Use caution if you have reflux, heartburn, gastritis, stomach ulcers, oesophageal irritation, unexplained abdominal pain, or if you take medicines that affect stomach acid. Ask your doctor, pharmacist or qualified health professional before use if you are unsure whether this type of digestive acid support is suitable.

Do not combine Orthoplex HCL Capsules with reflux medication, acid-reducing medicine, antacids or prescribed digestive treatment unless advised by your doctor, pharmacist or qualified health professional. Digestive symptoms can have different causes, so the right support depends on the person.
