Phloe

Phloe is made in New Zealand by Douglas Pharmaceuticals, and its active is Zyactinase, a proprietary extract taken from whole green kiwifruit.

What makes it different from a straight fibre supplement is that it works three ways at once. Enzymes support movement through the bowel, two types of dietary fibre aid transit time, and prebiotics feed the good bacteria already living in the digestive system, which is the part that matters over the longer term.

It is gentle enough for daily use, suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and there is a half strength kids version for children from three years.

Frequently Asked Questions about Phloe

What is Zyactinase?

Zyactinase is Phloe's active, a proprietary extract made from whole green New Zealand kiwifruit. It is a triple action complex of enzymes, fibre and prebiotics rather than a single isolated ingredient, which is what separates it from an ordinary fibre supplement.

Capsules, chewables or powder?

The capsules and the chewable tablets carry exactly the same 575mg of Zyactinase, so it is purely about how you prefer to take it. The chewables need no water and taste of kiwifruit. The Gut Health Powder is the different one: it adds 3500mg of Solnul prebiotic resistant starch per serve and is aimed at the microbiome rather than transit alone.

What is the difference between the standard and no added sugar chewables?

The active is identical at 575mg per tablet. The standard chewable uses tableting sugar, and the no added sugar version is sweetened with thaumatin and isomalt instead. Worth choosing if you are watching sugar or taking it every day.

Can children take Phloe?

Phloe Kids is made for it, at 287.5mg per tablet, which is half the adult strength, with an apple and kiwifruit taste and no added sugar. It is suitable from three years with adult supervision, and the tablets should be broken into smaller pieces for younger children. The adult capsules and chewables are suitable from age nine.

Is it safe to take every day, and during pregnancy?

Phloe is suitable for long term use, and the capsules and chewable tablets are suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do not take it if you have a known allergy to kiwifruit.

What does Phloe Zyme add?

Zyme pairs 360mg of Zyactinase with 50mg of DigeZyme, a multi-enzyme complex covering carbohydrates, protein, fats, plant fibre and the lactose in dairy. It is the one to take with meals rather than before them.
