Do a Google search on the product name. If the top 10 results are all sites selling the product, and none of the top results are scientific analysis (not sales analysis) then ---> It is a snake oil (aka useless) product.

Enzymes even if active in pills are proteins and will be broken up in gut , so only few aminoacids left

I agree, but could you explain why you think so?

Not a biochemist here, but common sense informs me.

All those enzymes would release the complex carbohydrates quickly, spiking blood sugar. Spiking blood sugar instead of a slow release causes insulin resistance leading to diabetes and obesity.

Your body doesn't need help spiking blood sugar levels.

I spent many years working as a pharmaceutical scientist. I can assure that oral absorption of proteins, including enzymes. is at best extremely poor. It is the job of your stomach to break down proteins. Insulin a peptide (a small protein) is given by injection for this reason. Be highly skeptical of this product.

I still remember a few things from my days picking up a PhD in Biophysics. Assuming that any of the enzymes (everything in the ingredients ending in -ase) managed to make survive long enough to do anything, I can't think where any of them would have anything to do with controlling blood sugar. I would give High Marks to whoever came up with the label, it does sound impressive to someone who doesn't know what the ingredients are.

Maybe the idea is that after buying it, one doesn't have enough money left to buy anything to eat.

I would check out the following link as it makes me think they are looking for beta testers for a potential new money maker.
