About Cellulase
Plant fiber-digesting enzyme. Humans lack endogenous cellulase entirely, so supplementation has a clear mechanistic rationale. However, no standalone RCTs exist — all evidence from multi-enzyme blend studies (DigeZyme, Elevase).
What Cellulase supports
- Breaks down plant cell walls to improve nutrient access from vegetables and grains
How much Cellulase to take
The RDA prevents deficiency. The effective range is what clinical trials used to actually move the outcome.
Effective
500–1000
cu
500-1,000 CU per serving. Humans lack endogenous cellulase — supplementation aids plant fiber digestion. All evidence from multi-enzyme blend RCTs.
Clinical evidence
Limited clinical evidence. No standalone clinical trials; all evidence from multi-enzyme blend studies
