Product Information

If you experience any nausea or diarrhea that lasts for more than a day or two, it’s probably best to stop. Allergic reactions can also be an issue for some people, such as itching, rash, stomach pain, and difficulty swallowing. If this happens, stop taking the supplements and seek medical attention Lipase is a digestive enzyme that boosts the absorption of fat in your body by breaking it down into glycerol and free fatty acids ( 9).

Aside from potentially affecting hormone levels, other common side effects of lipase inhibitors include diarrhea, stomach pain, and fat in the stools ( 19). summary While they’re normally safe and beneficial supplements to take, it’s still possible for digestive enzymes side effects to affect certain people, including those taking medications that can potentially interact with digestive enzymes. Why You Need to Digest Enzymes People with conditions like cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer are prescribed prescription enzyme replacement therapy, usually in the form of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT). Prescription PERT products include Creon, Pancreaze, Ultresa, Viokace, and Zenpep. Prescription PERT is different from over-the-counter products. It's important to choose probiotics made according to high-quality manufacturing standards to ensure they're protected from light, moisture, heat, and stomach acid. Digestive enzymes vs. probiotics: What's the difference? AllMax Digestive Enzyme supplements contain 11 potent, highly active digestive enzymes to support your gut.

Interestingly, some studies have found that the gut microbiome may play a role in weight control ( 7). If you have a history of liver or gallbladder disease, or stomach ulcers, then you definitely want to consult a physician before taking digestive enzyme supplements. Their mixture of vegetarian enzymes was developed to promote optimal nutrient bioavailability and absorption to improve digestive health. Digestive enzymes” is a broad term that includes pancreatic enzymes, plant-derived enzymes and fungal-derived enzymes. Digestive enzymes may be able to help alleviate gastrointestinal (GI) issues by helping properly break down the foods you eat.

Again, as I am not a medical professional nor have seen a gastroenterologist about my issues before, I don’t know exactly what it is either in my gut or in these pills that result in such magical, miraculous recovery, but my guess is some combination of the digestive enzymes + probiotics in the pills are greatly helping to regulate the mess that is my gut. Why my gut was such a mess before (or is without these pills) I have no clue. I have many guesses like severe lactose intolerance, IBS-D, leaky gut, SIBO, gluten intolerance, etc. — just about everything under the sun as the symptoms of many of these digestive conditions overlap and are similar. I think that’s why it’s even difficult for the current medical practice to work with these conditions, as even IBS (as I understand) is less an explicit diagnosis on the presence of particular symptoms/markers than it is kind of the give-up answer after eliminating other potential causes. Lactose malabsorption and intolerance: People with trouble digesting dairy may take OTC digestive enzymes like lactase to help prevent indigestion. Secondary lactose intolerance can also occur in people with IBD (Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis) and other diseases like celiac.Lactase may be also helpful in these instances.

In one study, administering digestive enzymes to mice promoted the colonization of beneficial gut bacteria ( 5). Hopefully within my lifetime, medical advances can cure me more permanently such that I don’t need these pills, but until then, I will gladly take these pills before every meal and basically become dependent on them for life. Zenwise Health, please continue to make these pills for the next 100 years okay? Thanks! However, it’s important to find a brand that has been through third-party testing for quality, potency, and purity.
