Summary
This digestive enzyme supplement contains a simple formulation with minimal additives, which is favorable for ingredient quality. However, the presence of common excipients like microcrystalline cellulose and silicon dioxide, while generally safe, indicates a moderate level of processing. The absence of harmful artificial additives or sweeteners supports a relatively high score for this category.
