Cellulase
Cellulase is a digestive enzyme that helps break down cellulose — the structural fibre found in plant cell walls. Because the human body does not produce cellulase naturally, supplementing with it may support the digestion of plant-based foods, fruits, vegetables, and wholegrains. This category is particularly relevant for those who eat a predominantly plant-rich diet or who are looking to complement their existing digestive enzyme intake.
Cellulase supplements are typically taken alongside meals containing high-fibre plant foods. They are commonly available in capsule or tablet form, often formulated as part of a broader digestive enzyme blend. When choosing a cellulase product, look for clearly stated enzyme activity units (such as CU or FCC units), quality-assured manufacturing, and transparent ingredient labelling. As with all food supplements, they are intended to complement a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, not to replace them.
