The Best Digestive Enzyme Out There!
Preface to this review: I always take digestive enzymes alongside a good probiotic. They go hand in hand IMO. I am currently on monthly ship of these Probiotics. It works very well but that is for another review.For the average person, digestive enzymes should be taken with every major meal. Along with probiotics at night and possibly in the morning if one chose to do so. I They help with all sorts of digestive issues and allow our bodies to better absorb nutrients.We consume food, but our digestive system does not absorb food, it absorbs the nutrients in the food. Nutrients have to be broken down from things like steak and potatoes into its nutritional particles: amino acids from proteins, fatty acids, cholesterol from fats, and simple sugars from carbs, along with vitamins, minerals, and a bunch of other animal and plant particles.Why digestive enzymes stop working correctly in the body:Diseases may prevent proper digestive enzyme production.Pancreatic problems, including cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, and acute or chronic pancreatitis.Brush border dysfunction, the most severe is long standing Celiac disease, where the brush border is flattened or destroyed. Other diseases like Crohn’s can also cause severe problems.But even in the absence of any obvious disease(s), things still may not be working properly.Inflammation in the digestive tract caused by “food allergies,” intestinal permeability, dysbiosis, parasitic infection, etc. can lead to a decimation in overall digestive enzymes.Aging Badly has been associated with decreased digestive function.Chronic long term stress. This is the most common reason for digestive enzyme problems. Our body has two modes: sympathetic “fight or flight,” and parasympathetic “rest and digest.” When we’re in “fight or flight” mode, digestive is given a very low priority, which means digestive function (including digestive enzyme output) is dialed down. Chronic stress= constant “fight of flight” mode = impaired digestive enzyme output.symptoms that suggest you might have problems with digestive enzymes are:Gas and bloating after mealsThe sensation that you have food sitting in your stomach (a rock in your gut)Feeling full after eating a few bites of foodUndigested food in your stoolFloating stoolsAn “oil slick” in the toilet bowl which is likely undigested fatThe good news is that digestive enzymes are very safe and cheap, you can always try them and see if you see any difference in your bowel movements or digestion.When you should take digestive enzymes and how much to take:Always take your digestive enzymes with food. Some people make a big deal of timing, but my bottom line is just to get them in around the time you’re eating. Most people find it easiest to pop them just before they eat, but anytime within 30 minutes of a meal will be beneficial.If you have a quality product, most people need 1-2 capsules with any of their major meals. Usually people don’t need to take any with small snacks barring their digestion is very off. When you find found a dose that works for you, your systems inflammation symptoms will dissipate – that gas or bloating after meals, the feeling of a brick in the stomach, or your messed-up bowel movements should get better. If not, try increasing your dose incrementally, by one digestive enzyme pill per day, giving it at least 7 days (and up to a week) to evaluate how things are working.

Noticeably helped with bloating and digestion after meals
I started taking these after dealing with persistent bloating and that heavy, sluggish feeling after meals. Within the first week I noticed a real difference, especially after larger or higher-fat meals. Things just seem to move along the way they should without the discomfort I had gotten used to.The formula is solid. Bromelain, pancreatin, ox bile, and papain together cover a good range of digestive needs, and it is clear NOW Foods put thought into the combination rather than just throwing in one or two enzymes like some cheaper alternatives. The capsules are easy to swallow and I have had no issues taking them right before a meal.Value-wise this is hard to beat. The 90-count bottle lasts a while if you are only taking one per meal, and the price per dose is reasonable compared to similar products at the supplement store. My only minor note is that results can take a few days to become obvious, so give it a little time before judging. But if your digestion has been off, this is a dependable option worth trying.
