Re: Enzymes and weight gain/loss and GERD

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

" Enzymes are effective in weight regulation. Depending on what you

need, taking enzymes can result in weight gain or loss. Many obese

people have very low levels of lipase in their body. Without

sufficient lipase, the fats from food cannot be properly broken down

and used. It may be stored instead. Taking lipase enzymes breaks down

these fats.

Also, when digestion is bad, the body craves more energy and

nutrients. When food remains insufficiently broken-down and not

absorbed, the nutrients within the food are not released and

delivered to the cells to satisfy the need. Some people continue to

eat more attempting to satisfy that nutrient hunger. When digestive

enzymes lead to better nutrient release and absorption, the body is

functioning better and more efficiently, metabolism is up, and this

can lead to weight loss.

If the problem is being underweight, supplying enzymes can lead to

better nutrient absorption, proper health, and thus weight gain.

Weight gain can also result because of reduced discomfort cause by

indigestion, bloating, gas, and other problems, which may discourage

someone from eating a balanced diet. Sansum's (1932) published

results on weight from a number of cases at the Potter Metabolic

Clinic show that weight regulation is a long-standing effect of

taking enzymes. Of 197 individuals who were underweight, 91 percent

improved b gaining weight with enzymes. " (Enzymes for Autism)

So what I would recommend for you is DigestGold with meals and

LypoGold in between meals as a therapeutic enzyme.

Continue on the DigestGold and GlutenEase. Do give it a month. You

might want to add AcidSoothe. Feel free to call our technical advisor
