Enzymes — help!
Would love some guidance regarding buying enzymes. My vitamin shop has dozens of bottles — what should we look for? Can you recommend a particular brand, or else please explain which enzymes are the “right” ones, which ones aren’t? Years ago my naturopath steered me toward Wobenzym http://www.wobenzym-usa.com/, but it appears those enzymes are meant more for immune and joint support, not so much for digestion. Or maybe they all do the same thing? Would be very grateful for your guidance. And also — probiotics. Same thing: do you have a particular brand you like? Again, there are so many choices out there, just want to make sure I’m getting the biggest bang for my buck! Thanks!!

Dr. Thropp’s Elite-Zyme Pro – Digestive Enzymes
For enzymes, I’ve been taking Source Naturals Daily Essential Enzymes. They are vegetarian, with no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy or wheat. It has enzymes for protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and sugar. I’ve been taking them for about 3.5 months, and so far they seem to work well for me.
For probiotics, my naturopath recommended Pharmax HLC, which I’ve been taking for a couple of months. Any place selling them should be keeping them in a refrigerator, and I keep them in my refrigerator at home.
I get enzymes and probiotics from my nutritionist:
Enzymes are plant based Life Enhancement Resources Hi-Zimes…www.lerhm.com
Probiotics are from Nature’s Way “Primadophilus Optima”
Potency is 35 billion CFUs per capsule
14 strain blend plus scFOS
Wobenzymes are the best – and affordable. You can get a huge bottle on Vitacost.com for $89. It will last you months.
Tracie — but is there a difference between enzymes specifically meant for joint and immune support, and enzymes for digestion? that’s my concern with Wobenzyms.
