How to Use
One and done.
Pop one capsule right before your biggest meal of the day, or whenever you know a heavy or unfamiliar dish is coming.
If one capsule doesn't do the trick, wait 30-60 minutes and take a second capsule.
When to take.
Keep it on hand. In your bag, desk drawer, or travel kit — for whenever you need it, not on a schedule.
No daily commitment, no routine to build.
It's for bloat emergencies — like when the emergency is pizza night.
How do I know when I need it?
You know your gut better than we know your gut.
Maybe it's a meal you love that doesn't love you back. The big bowl of ramen that always leaves you uncomfortably full. The dairy that never quite agrees with you (even though you keep hoping this time will be different).
Those would be the times Break It Down can make a real impact.
If certain meals keep leaving you bloated, heavy, or uncomfortable, your body isn't being difficult — it's giving you important information.
The Science
Cellulase was not in the human starter pack.
Here's something wild: Your body can't break down cellulose — the tough fiber that makes up plant cell walls — because humans don't produce the enzyme that does it. And neither do cows, technically — their gut bacteria make cellulase for them, housed in an extra stomach chamber built for exactly that job. Humans never evolved that setup.
So what happens?
Since we don't produce cellulase, cellulose passes through the stomach and small intestine mostly intact. It reaches your colon, where gut bacteria ferment it — producing gas as a byproduct. The undigested fiber also adds bulk to stool and feeds beneficial bacteria, which is part of why fiber is good for you in the first place.
That's exactly why Break It Down includes cellulase and hemicellulase alongside the more familiar enzymes — to help break down some of that tough plant fiber earlier, before it reaches your colon and gets fermented into gas. Less bloat from that big fibrous meal, without asking your gut to give up fiber altogether.
Testing & Results
Meets the 5N Standard
We’ve long been frustrated by how inconsistent and opaque supplement standards are. The U.S. excels in some areas but lacks in others. Meanwhile, Japan, Switzerland, Germany, and New Zealand each lead in different parts of quality and safety.
So we asked: what if we built something that unified the best of all of them?
The answer is the 5 Nation Standard™ (5N™) - our proprietary global framework inspired by the strictest regulations across five of the world’s most trusted health systems. 5N™ is built on four pillars: Purity, Strength, Transparency, and Safety.
Every batch is tested against international analytical methods by independent ISO-accredited labs. Every product is verified to 100% label claim. Every Certificate of Analysis is eight pages long - covering contaminants, microbials, pesticides, solvent residues, allergens, and more. In a category that largely polices itself, 5N™ is the opposite of shortcuts. It’s a higher standard, one we hope becomes the new expectation.

Certificate of Analysis (COA)
A Certificate of Analysis (also called a COA) is a document that publishes a product’s test results. These are, essentially, report cards – the culmination of all the hard work that goes into sourcing ingredients from trustworthy farms and suppliers.
