We hear it all the time, "I've tried enzymes in the past and they didn't work!" We respectfully disagree, at least when it comes to our enzymes.⁠
.⁠
The short-term solution to food intolerances is taking the RIGHT ENZYMES at the⁠
RIGHT TIME in the right⁠
RIGHT DOSES.⁠
(The long-term solution is taking probiotics that increase a person’s own enzyme production)⁠
.⁠
1️⃣ Specific enzymes break down specific foods. For example, lactase doesn’t break down gluten. Gluten⁠
enzymes don’t break down pectin or inulin.⁠
2️⃣ Not all enzymes with the same names are equally effective.⁠
3️⃣ Taking enzymes after a meal is useless. When undigested food hits the intestinal tract, the damage is⁠
going to happen. Enzymes need to be taken at the BEGINNING of the meal or right before to meal.⁠
4️⃣ Taking 25% of the enzymes needed to break down the food problem in question will result in 75% of the stomach issues still happening. For full coverage take 100% of the enzymes needed to break down the foods. One can’t overdose but they can under dose.⁠
.⁠
For full digestive enzyme coverage here are three enzyme products with the right enzymes to get the job done.⁠
🟩BLOAT & GAS RELIEF (FODMAP enzymes including dairy): 1-3 capsules before meals. For large⁠
Thanksgiving type meals take 4 capsules.⁠
🟦Digestive Enzymes: 1-4 capsules before meals. For large meals take 4 capsules. For small meals take 1 capsule.⁠
🟧Gluten Comfort: 1-4 capsules before meals. For potential trace or hidden gluten take 1 capsule. For meals with gluten in them please take 3-4 capsules at the beginning of meals.⁠
.⁠
Personally, I don’t have FODMAP food or gluten issues so when I’m eating a large meal and don’t want discomfort I⁠
take 2-4 capsules of the Digestive Enzymes to prevent stomach aches and pains.⁠

“People with food intolerances often don’t make enough of a particular enzyme that the digestive system needs to break down a certain food or ingredient.” ⁠
