Your enzymes (if they ARE enzymes) should have some enzymes in them, lol! Enzymes are usually anything ending in "-ase". Is this what you're taking? It says it contains "enzymes essential to the digestion and assimilation of proteins, fats, and carbohydrate" - which means it probably has protease, lipase and amylase. So you're good

As for your lactobacillus, the important number is the number of live bacteria, which will be in billions per capsule - a number between 1 and 2 billion is good. It should tell you but I don't think Natrol does, which is kind of annoying... Unfortunately probiotics aren't regulated too well, and lots of products have few to no actually LIVE bacteria, which is what you need. Of course I'm sure what you're taking is a good product though, but if after a few months you don't notice any difference try switching to another brand (which goes for everyone taking probiotics). Asking at an HFS is a good idea for finding a good brand.

Hope that helps
