So Carol, which enzyme product do YOU buy, as you have already tested so many

and found THE one that is working for you? :>) (Thanks if you can help with

this!)LouisePS THANKS for the below info--very helpful!

There are three classes of enzymes. These include plant or food enzymes, found

in all raw foods, which start food digestion; digestive enzymes, which are

secreted by the pancreas to digest our food; and metabolic enzymes, produced in

the cells to run all body processes. However, only plant enzymes initiate

digestion in the stomach, which is why when you take plant enzymes it spares the

pancreas from doing all of your digestion.

Supplemental pancreatic enzymes from an animal source 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. Most people are acidic.

Papaya enzymes are not as effective 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. Bromelain or pineapple enzymes are even less

effective because they work at an optimal temperature of 130 degrees.

When you buy enzymes make sure they are microblended with a whole food to supply

vitamins/minerals. Enzymes need cofactors to work (which are vitamins and

minerals). Most cheap enzymes don't have this.

And do the pudding test to make sure you are buying something that actually

works. Open a capsule and stir it into a cup of pudding. The pudding should

liquify in a minute, and if it doesn't they are not going to work inside you

either. Before I found the brand I am now using, I did this test on many brands

and none of them worked.

Somebody mentioned they take the NOW brand of enzymes, but if you look at the

ingredients you will see that they are just a bunch of nothingness (ox bile and

fruity enzymes) - they won't work. They are very cheaply made with cheap

ingredients so they are very cheap to buy.

Just make sure you read the ingredients. Find out where the ingredients come

from (a lot are sourced from China). If the company won't tell you, then don't

buy their brand.

I'm not Carol but I like Enzymedica brand. They contain multiple blends of

enzymes that become active at different temperatures in the body. There are no

fillers. They are all vegan so if you need the animal kind you'll need a

different brand. Digest Gold or Spectrum are all-round good ones. If you're

vegan or eat a lot of veggies then Gastro could be taken. Lacto for dairy (if

you really can't stay off it or go out to eat).

They've also got some for candida: use Candidase and Virastop. Mucostop breaks

up clogged mucous. Will make it runny so it flows out. They're a bit pricier

than most but this is a case of getting what you pay for. I work part time in

health food stores and these get rave reviews.
