Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have red that intake of enzymes supplements can reduce ability of pancreas to produce own enzymes. I have sometimes pain on my left side below the rib and it is probably pancreas. Do you think it is from enzyme supplementation?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have never heard of such a thing, IMS. Most of the enzymes are not produced in the pancreas anyway, some in the small intestines and some in the liver for example. I have some clients, when needed, that take in excess of 50 enzymes a day with only health improving results. You may want to do some more research.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Enzyme supplementation can not in anyway hurt the function of the pacreas. There is empirical evidence to back up my claim. If anything research shows that it aids in hydrolosis and breakdown of foods into nutrients the body can use to function. With that being said, just like when supplementing with vitamins, minerals, medications, etc......you can not over do it and the cure can become the ailment. I can post links to these research studies if anyone wants to see for themselves. Sent from my BlackBerry® by Boost Mobile Re: Enzymes question I have never heard of such a thing, IMS.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Make sure you are taking only plant-based enzymes because they replace the enzymes that are found in food. Your food is lacking in enzymes if it's heated to 118 deg. or above. Your body makes enzymes, but it can't make plant-based enzymes. So make sure you are taking the plant-based kind, because they work in a larger range of pH levels. Don't bother with pancreatic enzymes from an animal source. They will work only in an alkaline pH of about 7.8 to 8.4. This is fine for people who tend to be too alkaline, but pancreatic enzymes won't work at all in people who tend to be too acid (which most people are). Papaya enzymes are not as effecive as plant enzymes because papaya works at an optimal temperature of 105 degrees F, which is warmer than normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees. Bromelian or pineapple enzymes are even less effective because they work at an optimal temperature of 130 degrees. If you get a good plant-based enzyme it will work in pH of 2 to 12. And do the pudding test to make sure they're working - open up a capsule and stir it into some pudding. It should liquify the pudding in just a minute or so, and if it doesn't it's not going to work in your body either. There are many cheap brands that are so full of extra filler and they just don't do anything.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Doesn't your liver make bile? I don't know about ox bile, or why anyone would want to take it. To me it sounds pretty disgusting. Carol > What about ox bile. Does that help with digestion? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I don;t know anything about ox bile, except they put it in digestive aid supplements.. will it make us " strong like bull?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sounds like a quack ! Sent from my BlackBerry® by Boost Mobile Re: Enzymes question One of docs prescribed me Ox bile because my gallbladder is sluggish. But I can`t take it, it burns worse that enzyms probably b my esophafus is imflamed from reflux.Thank you for your responce. > > What about ox bile.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I like these the best of any that I have ever tried - http://tinyurl.com/ey8l They also have ginger, fennel, and cayenne in the capsule, which are all good for digestion. Make sure any enzyme supplement you buy has a whole food microblended into it, to supply minerals. This brand has organic blue green algae (a very nutrient-dense whole food), which supplies minerals, because enzymes do not work without minerals. Also, when you get to that page, scroll down and click on the More Info about Enzymes - very good article.
