I made a weird comparison to my mom the other day when trying to explain what digestive enzymes do. I know must have told her up to a zillion times why you would take them and when... but for some reason she kept getting stuck on the idea that they are probiotics.
I finally broke through and said you know after a big meal the waiter will ask if you want a digestif? She of course understood that this was not the same as a digestif but then she got it ...it's not like taking a tums because you have a stomach pain. It's just helping things work just a little bit better!
That being said..we just got in HealthForce's Digestion Enhancement Enzymes and they are AWESOME!
Digestion Enhancement Enzymes™ is a comprehensive and potent array of enzymes for optimized digestion, assimilation, and utilization of all types of foods and nutrients, with no wasted enzymes. These enzymes have a powerful effect on the digestion of food. Contrary to enzymes of animal origin, these 100% plant-derived enzymes are effective throughout a wide pH range. Once you have sufficient enzymes to digest your food, more is of NO value for digestion. That is why Digestion Enhancement Enzymes™ focus on the quality, pH range, and wide spectrum of enzymes, rather than adding more enzymes (that do NOT help to digest further).
