Assertive Wellness Enzyme Spectrum Complete - 240 Veggie Capsules

I don't know why exactly but these are the only enzymes that stop the "poot" :D Works great for dairy and vegetables!! More importantly - I take it when I take other supplements to help them absorb better. That is important to do. One caveat - if you over-do these particular enzymes, you may have increased stomach acid. I tend toward low stomach acid due to a battle with h-pylori (and likely born that way) but I do need to just use one or two a day of these enzymes because the really work so well. One bottle lasts me 2-6 months, depending on the state of my digestion. Its like it heals your guts for a while so you don't have to use them daily after a while ... then go back to them as needed. Seriously -- thanksgiving is coming up and this is one thing I definitely want on hand.And just so you know. I'm not fake and I am not paid for this review ... or discounted or anything like that. And I take lots of different supplements. I just happen to really believe in this supplement for people with gut issues.To add a little more help, I use the following:- CandiaFX- Spore-forming probiotics- Glutamine Powder- Mastic Gum complex- DGLI was born 38 years ago as failure to thrive and diagnosed with "Gluten Intolerance" (yeah - waaaay back then can you believe it) ... although I've tested negative for celiac, I'm just the unfortunate gut-impaired person.By the way -- I use a different enzyme (DPPIV) when I go out to eat and have risk of gluten cross-contamination. So I recommend using targeted enzymes for that particular issue.

I find this being my weirdest review yet, so bear with me. These meet my limited, but important needs. I make whole fruit smoothies every morning that also contain dairy, oats, and veggies including a mix of salad lettuces and spinach. I don't cook the oats, thus have the same issues that most people have. But I use 100 grams of them (2.5 servings). So without these guys, the combination creates something uncomfortable. I'm not lactose intolerant and thus don't need these for that. Ditto with protein. I read about phytic acid. Most places talk about beans and whole grains that contain hard-to-digest sugars that basically rot in your gut. That creates gas and thus is uncomfortable. Bean-O is supposed to help with beans. I've never tried it and can't comment. But tossing garbanzo beans in my smoothies also did the same thing, so I quit. In the past, I would only eat a little oatmeal and cook it. It did the same thing, but on limited scale. Eating 100+ grams of raw oats is noticeable. Now, if I take only three capsules at the time I consume my smoothie, I notice it helps. I've increased to taking 4 capsules with my smoothies and the uncomfortableness goes away. I don't take 3 capsules twice a day as recommended because I don't really eat anything else that gives me issues. If I eat a PB & J sandwich on multigrain bread, then I might be asking for problems (but I only eat one sandwich and not two). I understand you can sprout oats, cook oats and soak oats. I don't do any of that and don't want to do it. So far this works good enough. I don't know if it is breaking down the complex carbs and thus that is reducing the rotting in the gut or what. I have noticed the difference between taking the 3 and 4 capsules and with how much oats I eat. If I eat a smaller amount of oats, then less uncomfortable and then not much of a need for these. I haven't tried other food like broccoli, cauliflower, beans, etc. to see how effective. But for oats in bigger quantity, these seem to work. So I hope that helps you out if you're looking for something.

I've been researching digestive and systemic enzymes quite a bit lately. I've had digestive issues for a while and a lack of enzymes seemed like a likely culprit, especially since I'm an aging boomer. I'm a shameless label reader and always on the lookout for foods and supplements without fillers, preservatives and other questionable ingredients. There are so many ways (and tricky names) that manufacturers use to hide or mislead the consumer. It takes true diligence to avoid these nearly ubiquitous unhealthy additives. This particular multi-enzyme product by Assertive Wellness meets my strictest criteria for having only enzymes (the active ingredients) and a natural herb, marshmallow root. No silica or silicon dioxide (common sand). No magnesium stearate. None of that other funny stuff. Hooray! Somebody gets it.I like this combination of enzymes which is focused on food digestion... this formula goes beyond the basic Papain, Bromelain, Amalayse, etcetera and includes the pancreatic protein breakers Trypsin and Chymotrypsin... these are kind of rare in the cheaper brands. I'm no expert but I'm discovering more about enzymes as I read more and more and watch YouTube videos. I've decided to add in some systemic (body wide) enzymes as well as these digestive ones. Systemic enzymes are taken on an empty stomach and are meant to be absorbed in the small intestines and picked up by the portal vein and distributed to the liver and then the whole body. Systemic enzymes can help with things that digestive enzymes don't deal with, perhaps behaving more like garbage men and maintenance men for the whole body. I decided to try Serrapeptase, Lumbrokinase, Nattokinase and Seaprose, since I've had plenty of time to accumulate 'leftovers' and 'clutter' in my body. Look for videos by Dr. William Wong. He has formulated several systemic multi-enzymes so maybe he has some interest in selling people on these products... or maybe he is just trying to help make people aware of the benefits of enzymes. The Bonus: no drug (pharmaceutical) side effects.No Disclaimer Needed:I have no connection or affiliation with this or any other product sold on Amazon. I paid for this and everything else I have reviewed on Amazon. And YES, my digestion has greatly improved since I began taking these and other enzymes.

. I haven’t been able to reorder these and the company doesn’t know when they will be available again. Very disappointing since they are the best digestive enzymes I’ve been able to find.
