? about Digestive enzymes

[joshbeam1]

Are any of you guys firmiliar w/digestive enzymes? How well do they work? What kinds work best?
I'm considering getting some to get the most out of the foods I'm consuming (mainly so my body will get more out of all the protien I consume).
Thanks for the imput.

they are extremely useful.
i once could no longer eat whatever without being hampered by heartburn.
No medicines & no doctors were of big help.
Then i started taking enzymes & now i can eat all i want.
I use DIGESTABS by puritan.com

They just supply your body with the catalyst needed to digest & absorb food properly.
In Germany enzyme depletion is considered a national epidemics.
Stress, refined foods, chemicals etc tend to decrease one's ability to produce enough enzymes.

I prefer the animal origin ones with ox bile: the "all vegetable" ones weren't much of a help in my case.

I use them occasionally because I consume alot of protein, they keep my digestive system in check.
