Plant-Based Enzymes Can’t Compete — Here’s the Chemistry Behind Why

Most enzyme supplements love to advertise that they’re “plant-based” or “natural.” Sounds great, right?

The problem is… they barely work.

When it comes to actually breaking down the kinds of food that cause bloating, discomfort, and post-meal regret — fruit-based enzymes are simply not built for the job.

This isn’t marketing spin. It’s biochemistry.

Let’s break down why most enzyme products don’t deliver results — and what makes Cheater Eater completely different.

Why Fruit-Based Enzymes Fall Flat

Many popular enzyme blends rely on sources like papaya (papain), pineapple (bromelain), or mold-fermented plants. They’re technically “natural,” but they have major limitations:

• They’re weak. The enzymatic activity (measured in FCC units) is often too low to affect real meals.
• They’re limited. Most only assist with protein digestion — not carbs, fats, dairy, or sugar.
• They’re slow. They don’t kick in fast enough to keep up with the demands of a heavy or indulgent meal.
• They’re outdated. Originally designed to help with raw food diets — not cheat meals.

Bottom line? They may help break down your kale smoothie. But they can’t touch pizza, burgers, dessert, or cocktails.

The Chemistry That Sets Cheater Eater Apart

Cheater Eater isn’t based on plants — it’s based on human digestive needs, engineered for real-world food.

Our formula includes:

• Amylase – breaks down starchy carbs
• Protease / Pepsin / Peptidase – break down complex proteins
• Lipase – targets greasy fats
• Lactase – breaks down dairy
• Invertase – handles alcohol sugars and desserts

These are lab-grade enzymes, clinically dosed to activate when you need them most — not fruit extracts hoping for the best.

You don’t need something “gentle.” You need something that works.

Why This Matters

When you eat something indulgent — creamy, cheesy, carby, or sweet — your body needs immediate digestive support.

• If it doesn’t break down fast, it lingers
• If it lingers, it ferments
• If it ferments, you get gas, bloat, and fatigue

Plant-based enzymes can’t break down the full spectrum of what’s on your plate. Cheater Eater can — because it’s designed for bioavailability, fast action, and complete breakdown of tough foods.

Final Thought

If you’ve tried other digestive enzymes and felt nothing, it’s probably because they were never built for what you were eating.

Cheater Eater wasn’t made for light meals — it was made for life’s heavier ones.

Don’t rely on pineapple to digest your pizza. Use science.
