Digestive Enzymes

[cnelson09]

ive heard some good things about supplementing with digestive enzyme pills... it apparently helps the nutrients from you food digest and let your body absorb them better. just wondering if anybody is or has used them?? do they really make that much of a difference?? did you notice anything different while taking them??(better muscle gains, more energy, better sleep, etc.) also what product you find usefull or have usedd??

Ive also heard that a fiber supplement has pretty much the same benefits....

any info will help thanks.

I use NOW Super Enzymes 3 times daily. They do there job in helping better digest the foods and amounts I'm taking in.

I took a bottle of that as well. When I was eating a lot, it seemed to help keep things in check.. little to no upset stomach or gas.

Since I've cut back my calories, I don't need it so I'm just taking a fiber supplement.. but once I start bulking again I'll buy some more, it's a good product.

I like it as well and supplement also with Fiberteq before bed.

you can kill two birds in one stone and supplement with Hemp protein.

Hemp is loaded with enzymes and fibre.

Also fairly high in protein content per serving as well. Very useful and beneficial supplement :)

That's interesting, I had no idea. My DIY fiber blend actually has hemp protein in it. It's comprised of equal parts of:

Oat Bran
Psyllium Husks
Hemp Protein/Fiber

Lets be honest here. I like digestive enzymes because if i dont use them and eat and drink shakes like there going out of style i cant train because i spend the whole day in the bathroom with the shits. Once i added them i feel like my stomach just feels better and less bloated after eating every 2 hours a tonne.

I took digestive enzymes and it didn't do anything for me. I also have stong acid in my stomach, and had to take pills to make my body not produce as much. That was the only time I started taking them again. The other time I'll take them for a week is if I get really sick and throw up or have had a binge drinking weekend.

I started taking the NOW enzymes a little while ago after somebody here said they were great and also bought a couple of pounds of psylium husks, pretty much cleaned up my digestive system making me a little less toxic. I'd like to work in some greens too but it is pretty pricy.
