Why do none of your products contain HCL? A complete enzymatic digestive formula should not contain hydrochloric acid. HCL will counteract the activity of the enzymes amylase and lipase, which work in a more alkaline environment.
For example, when HCL and lipase are combined in the same formula, lipase is undetectable when tested because it has been rendered ineffective by the HCL. Theramedix Thera-Blends the four main types of enzymes in every formula — protease, amylase, lipase and cellulase. Thera-Blending allows these enzymes to work across the board in the pH range of a Whether the person is acidic or alkaline, in every range of the human body with or with out HCL, Thera-Blended enzymes are active. DGT is less potent than DGX so it is recommended for those who may desire a gentle product or want to start by introducing enzymes gradually.
It is also good for more sensitive individuals and the elderly or younger children who have difficulty swallowing a larger capsule. DGX is ideal for anyone suffering from other health issues and who want the highest potency available. Generally, if there are no digestive sensitivities present, people 35 or older would benefit as this is when our own enzyme production starts dropping more noticeably.
It depends on what part of the dairy component they have a problem breaking down. LCS contains Lactase Thera-blend which assists in lactose dairy sugar digestion. Some products seem to have similar benefits, such as RPR and Serratio k. How do I determine which one is appropriate? RPR is recommended to help speed the recovery of sore muscles and joints due to overexertion or damage. Inflammation related to injuries, sprains or surgeries, all of which are considered acute, is relieved.
Serratio k is recommended for more chronic conditions or those related to autoimmune disorders. Conditions that cause pain, discomfort, swelling and stiffness would benefit. Both may be taken together in severe cases. How does PRX compare to other proteolytic formulas available?
When comparing products it is important to determine potency, purity and reliability. Make sure the enzymes in the formula are all measured according to FCC standards and by units of activity not weight such as mgs.
It is important that plant enzymes be utilized to achieve the most activity over the broadest pH range. The addition of a mineral blend to provide necessary metabolic cofactors for better bioavailability is important. Check for other ingredients and avoid products that contain fillers and additives like silicon dioxide or magnesium stearate. Finally, make sure the product is tested to ensure that it meets label claim.
PRX meets all of these requirements. PRX proves to be a highly effective formulation to support immune function and assist the body in detoxification. Many other products do not fall within these criteria.
Most of the products I have seen for Candida overgrowth contain herbs. How does CDX work? However, it is extremely effective and has none of the side-effects of the traditional herbal formulas. We could compare the Candida cell to a coconut which has a very hard, protective outer shell and a meaty interior.
Cellulase has two functions; it hydrolyzes the hard outer shell of the fungal or yeast cell which is called chitin and it also breaks down undigested fiber in the colon which is food for yeast. GCF was designed for individuals who have gluten allergy or intolerance. SGI contains no protease, which can be irritating to inflamed, irritated tissue. It is formulated with a lower potency combination of plant enzymes along with herbals to soothe, protect and repair the gastrointestinal area.
I have heard how important pHB balance is overall health. How do I determine if I need pHB? That means, in most cases, you should take digestive enzyme supplements along with food. In many instances, they should be taken in combination with specific foods in order to properly perform their intended function.
Lactase supplements, for example, include the enzymes that digest milk sugars, so they should be taken along with dairy products.
Likewise, amylase supplements help the body digest the complex sugars found in legumes and vegetables to reduce bloating and gas, so they should be taken just before eating these foods. To determine when to take a digestive enzyme, or any supplement, refer to the instruction label of the product. Some digestive supplements are intended to be taken with a meal, while others should be taken shortly before eating.
Also, check the proper dosage, which will vary based on the type and strength of the enzyme supplement. If you are unsure or have any questions, ask your pharmacist or nutritionist. And of course, if you are taking any medications, be sure to consult your doctor before using any supplement. These are all signs of malabsorption, which means you may not be making enough pancreatic enzymes to digest your food and could benefit from taking pancreatic enzymes. The enzymes are dosed off of the units of lipase the enzyme that digests fat and they come in different doses, depending on the brand.
Enzymes are often dosed between units of lipase per kilogram kg per meal. Additionally, half of the meal dosage should be taken with snacks. Depending upon the brand, enzyme dosages vary. For instance, Creon comes in 3,, 6,, 12,, 24,, and 36, units of lipase per pill. Most people take the 24, dosed pills, but some people find them too large to swallow and prefer to take smaller pills.
As an example of what an appropriate dose range would be, for an adult weighing pounds, a range 34, — , units of lipase per meal is appropriate. This would be between pills per meal of the largest available dose, 36, As you can see, this is a large range and you need to work closely with your provider to assure you are taking the right amount. Always take your enzymes as directed by your provider.
I recommend taking the entire dose directly before your meal, or with your first bite of food. The enzymes should be effective for up to one hour so if you eat later than one hour after taking your enzymes, you will need to take another dose.
It is important that you do not store your enzymes in a warm place such as your pocket or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the medication to become ineffective.
