Your pancreas makes its own. Supplemental enzymes are taken by people who feel heavy or bloated after meals, particularly larger or richer ones. For a healthy digestive system the benefit is modest; for people who genuinely produce less, it can be substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne capsule immediately before each main meal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiming matters more here than with almost anything else — after the meal is too late\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkip the capsule if you are skipping the meal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagnosed pancreatic insufficiency needs prescription enzymes, not this\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOn the label\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtease, amylase, lipase and others, each with activity units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake immediately before eating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat this is not\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a cleanse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a candida product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot measured in milligrams, because milligrams tell you nothing about an enzyme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe straight answer\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnzymes are measured in activity units — HUT, DU, FIP — not weight.

We are not repeating those, because we have not seen the trial that would support them.
