About Nature’s Sunshine Hi-Lipase
Enjoying your favorite foods shouldn’t come with digestive discomfort. Nature’s Sunshine Hi-Lipase is specifically formulated to support your body’s natural ability to break down dietary fats, making it easier to enjoy meals that contain oils, nuts, dairy, and other fat-containing foods. This targeted enzyme supplement combines the power of lipase with complementary digestive enzymes and traditional herbs to provide comprehensive support for fat digestion.
Lipase is a crucial digestive enzyme naturally produced by your pancreas, stomach, and salivary glands. It plays an essential role in breaking down triglycerides and other lipids into smaller molecules that your body can absorb and utilize. However, factors such as age, stress, dietary choices, and individual digestive differences can affect your body’s natural enzyme production, leading to discomfort after consuming fatty meals.
Comprehensive Enzyme Support
Hi-Lipase goes beyond just lipase enzyme supplementation. Each serving provides a complete digestive enzyme profile including amylase for carbohydrate breakdown, cellulase for plant fiber digestion, and protease for protein digestion. This comprehensive approach ensures that all macronutrients in your meals receive proper enzymatic support, promoting more comfortable and efficient digestion overall.
The formula also includes 60mg of potassium citrate, which helps maintain optimal pH levels in your digestive system. Proper pH balance is essential for enzyme activity, ensuring that the supplemental enzymes can work effectively alongside your body’s natural digestive processes.
Traditional Herbal Support
What sets Hi-Lipase apart from basic enzyme supplements is its thoughtfully crafted herbal blend. The formula includes time-honored digestive herbs that have been used for centuries to support comfortable digestion. Caraway seed, known for its carminative properties, helps reduce gas and bloating. Dandelion root supports liver function and bile production, which is essential for fat emulsification. Ginger rhizome provides gentle digestive stimulation and helps soothe occasional digestive upset.
Gentian root and fennel seed round out the herbal blend, offering bitter compounds that help stimulate digestive secretions and aromatic compounds that support overall digestive comfort. This combination of enzymes and herbs creates a comprehensive approach to digestive wellness that addresses both the mechanical and physiological aspects of fat digestion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hi-Lipase contains 500 FIP units of lipase enzyme per serving, which specifically breaks down dietary fats (triglycerides) into smaller fatty acids and glycerol that your body can more easily absorb. The formula also includes complementary herbs like dandelion root that support bile production, which is essential for fat emulsification.
Take 1 or 2 VegCaps up to twice daily before consuming high-fat foods for optimal results. This allows the enzymes to be present in your digestive system when fat digestion is needed most. The timing before meals ensures maximum effectiveness of the digestive enzymes.
Hi-Lipase can generally be taken with other digestive supplements. However, since it already contains multiple digestive enzymes (lipase, amylase, cellulase, and protease), check the labels of other enzyme products to avoid excessive intake. Consult with a healthcare professional if you’re taking multiple digestive supplements.
Many people who have had their gallbladder removed find digestive enzyme supplements helpful for processing fats, since the gallbladder normally stores and concentrates bile for fat digestion. However, individuals with specific medical conditions should consult with their healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
The 100mg proprietary herbal blend includes traditionally used digestive herbs: caraway seed for reducing gas and bloating, dandelion root for supporting bile production, ginger for digestive comfort, gentian root for stimulating digestive secretions, and fennel seed for aromatic digestive support. This combination works synergistically with the enzymes to provide comprehensive digestive support.
