The quick & dirty on how to properly take digestive enzymes.
These were one of the first supplements I tried when experiencing chronic bloat, gas, pain, cramping, etc. I created an entire supplement guide just for you! LINK HERE!
I really had no idea the application of these supplements or how digestion worked. I’d take them willy nilly expecting my gut flares & issues to magically disappear.
Enzymes play an essential role in physiological processes throughout the body. Natural digestive enzymes, such as lipase, amylase, & protease, aid in breaking down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
First & foremost, if you’re experiencing chronic problems, go get tested, see your doctor, practitioner, or qualified coach. Stop ignoring you have a problem.
The best time to take your enzymes is right before, or right as you start eating. When in doubt, check the label. Usually anywhere from 15-30 minutes right before you eat is ideal.
Most of us lack stomach acid. We don’t slow down when we chew our food, we’re always in get sh*t done mode & this is the first step in the digestion process.
EXAMPLES OF COMMON SUPPS & TIMING:
💊BETAINE HCL &/or ACV: increase stomach acid to breakdown down macros, especially proteins & fats. Take prior to eating.
💊OX BILE: great for people without a gallbladder, especially doing keto/low carb/carnivore. Take prior to eating.
💊MOST BROAD SPECTRUM DIGESTIVE ENZYMES: take before or mid meal.
💊FISH OIL & MULTIVITAMINS: take mid meal.
💊PROBIOTICS: take at night on an empty stomach.
