NOW Foods Supplements, Optimal Digestive System, Full Spectrum Enzymes, 90 Veg Capsules

I was recently released from the hospital after a severe gallbladder attack that left me nearly incapacitated for days. I chose not to have my gallbladder removed until I had time to research alternatives; however, I was terrified to actually eat anything since just about EVERYTHING causes a flare up.I decided that if I didn't want my gallbladder to get angry I should probably help my digestion out as much as possible, so I purchased the most expensive and best-rated digestive aid I could find. It worked pretty well but I was running low and my Amazon subscription wouldn't arrive for about a week. I didn't want to go without or to pay so much for my regular product without my 20% discount so I bought this.It seemed extremely inexpensive and, with all the good reviews, I thought I should give it a try. One thing I should mention...it isn't as inexpensive as it may appear at first because the serving size is two capsules; therefore, there are only 45 servings per 90ct bottle. It also has less enzymes and less of each enzyme than my normal aid. That being stated, it is by far much better than my other brand.I was tentative to try it at first so I started off slow (with the food, not the supplement). I gradually increased the amount of food and the the variety as the days passed. I found that I could eat the same things as I was before but without any discomfort at all! No gas, bloating, nausea, migraines, etc...non of the "s***ty" symptoms of an attack. I still limit my fat intake and take Betaine when eating any meat but this is a gem!I don't know how or why it works better. It just goes to show you that labeling is not 100% proof of effectiveness.

These really work for me. I have problems with my pancreas, and these work well to help my meals digest easily.

I have IBS. Over the years been trying different products. No Pharmacy drugs for me try to fine more natural way. Anyway, I been doing Probiotics, charcoal for gas. I was looking for something more. I thought I try this product and see how works. Its been about a week now and have to say it works good for me. take before a meal and usually don't get gas build up which is painful. Plus helps digest my food faster breaks it down. Alot of times I feel like the food is just sitting there and not digesting well in the past. This helps with that. I don't feel bloated. IBS is a pain to deal and changes your life. the way you eat. So adding this to my tool box of getting relief from IBS symptoms is very helpful.

As I've gotten older (over 65), I have more difficulties with digestion. I have tried a number of different digestive enzymes to help with this and have had the most success with this brand. I like that the capsules are very small and easy to swallow and that a full dose is two pills; for small meals or those that are less-problematic, it's easy to cut dosage in half by just taking one pill.

works for digesting big meals or weight gainer shakes, etc. If you want to bulk up you need a digestive enzyme like this to utilize all your food

I don’t necessarily think it’s the fault of the product but these definitely make me feel sick. I’m chronically ill and have a lot of digestive issues and was hoping adding in enzymes would help but these make me insanely nauseous

I believe these enzymes do assist with how my body breaks down food in general. When I eat certain fatty/oily/starchy foods and don't take them I notice a difference - I have more gas and hear lots of noises in my stomach. I appreciate the fact that these capsules are small and vegetarian. Recently I ordered through the subscription pricing to get them cheaper but I'm finding that I have to order more before my next shipment arrives. If you take 2 capsules with every meal as indicated, you'll need more before the month is over. I suggest ordering 2 bottles at a time every 3-4 weeks if you eat an average of 3 meals a day.

I drink these anytime I eat beans, cruciferous veggies or something that could potentially upset my stomach. I also take them with my other vitamins when I have dinner. They not only help digest my meals but they also promote vitamin absorption. These truly work. I’ve tried taking them before, during and after meals and the best method for me is taking them after meals. I find that if I take them before meals I still get a little bloated and gassy from beans. I don’t know how I’ve gone my whole life without taking digestive enzymes (especially as a Mexican who eats beans a few times a week). I’ll be purchasing my second bottle now.
