Digestive enzymes seem to be a favorite recommendation of NDs. The only enzymes in Similase that are of much value are lactase used to help with the digestion of lactose sugar in milk and Alpha-Galactosidase the active ingredient in Beano. Even so there is about one-tenth the amount of lactase normally found in a lactase only enzyme capsule. The rest aren't particularly useful and will likely be deactivated by stomach acid. They cannot hurt you because enzymes are proteins and you will digest them like any other protein.
