Cheney on Enzymes and Whey - for Yaakov

[Guest guest]

Yaakov, you asked wrote " I read that the therapeutic whey is very fragile and

that decomposition

through over-processing and heavy-duty mixing will lesson its benefits. With

this line of reasoning should one avoid taking enzyme supplements like bromelain

together with the whey? As this might accelerate its breakdown since bromelain

is a protein digesting enzyme. "

You are absolutely right to be concerned. Cheney said digestive enzymes of any

kind are the worst thing you could take with the whey - they will destroy its

bioactivity.

I think Ken is absolutely right - to be safe we need to avoid taking any

supplements an hour before the whey (and I make sure it's been at least two to

three hours since my last meal). And of course wait at least thirty minutes

before eating. I think there are safe exceptions (lipoic acid), but to be safe I

follow Ken's advice and take it totally alone.

Take care. Carol
