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
Clinical studies typically use 500–1000 cu of Cellulase. 500-1,000 CU per serving. Humans lack endogenous cellulase — supplementation aids plant fiber digestion. All evidence from multi-enzyme blend RCTs.
- Effective range
- 500–1000 cu
Clinical evidence
Limited clinical evidence. No standalone clinical trials; all evidence from multi-enzyme blend studies
