How to Take Digestive Enzymes and Ingredients

Suggested use: Take 1 capsule with each meal.

The best time to take digestive enzymes is first thing when you sit down to eat. Digestive enzymes can be taken during the meal, but it is best if they take them before. If you forget to take them before or during the meal you can still take them after the meal, they will not go to waste.

 

Digestive Enzymes can also be taken on an empty stomach. The reason for doing this is to help eliminate undigested food throughout the digestive system. Undigested food begins to rot and ferment which can start polluting the bloodstream with harmful toxins. Not only do many people feel better and have more energy, they lose weight.

 

The difference between our Elite-Zyme Ultra and our Elite-Zyme Pro. Both digestive formulas are capable of digesting proteins, carbs, fibers, sugars, dairy, and fats. The difference between our two enzyme formulas is that the Elite-Zyme Ultra is designed more for someone who has problems digesting dairy products.

 

The strength of an enzyme ingredient is determined by its units of activity, not milligrams. Units of activity express the ingredients strength. Milligrams only express the amount of an ingredient.

 

For example, an enzyme product could contain 250mg of protease enzyme with a strength of only 30,000 FCC/HUT OR the same 250mg of protease enzyme could have the strength of 150,000 FCC/HUT. In this example, there is a 5-time difference in the amount of enzyme strength. Another way to say this is that the more units of activity in a formulation, the more food it is capable of digesting, regardless of the number of milligrams of an ingredient.

 

Units of activity are based on the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), Academy of Sciences and accepted by the American Food Industry.
