Digestive Enzymes

A broad blend of protease, amylase, lipase, lactase, cellulase and alpha-galactosidase, dosed in activity units rather than in milligrams, because milligrams of an enzyme tell you nothing about whether it works. Activity units are the standard the industry mostly avoids printing and the only figure that lets you compare two bottles. This is a targeted product rather than a daily one. Most people digest most meals without help; the situation this is for is a specific meal that reliably disagrees, most often one heavy in dairy, in beans or in fibre, where lactase and alpha-galactosidase respectively have a clear and well-understood job. Taking it with every meal is not harmful and is mostly a waste of money. One capsule at the start of the meal in question, not after it — enzymes work while food is in the stomach, and a capsule taken afterwards has missed. Persistent digestive trouble is a reason to see a doctor rather than to buy this.
