Which Preparation?
- It is very important that you buy coated enzyme tablets. In this case a film covers the lyophilized enzymes and protects them to be disturbed in the stomach. This envelope opens in the duodenum where the enzymes are absorbed. Uncoated tablets will be disturbed in the stomach and only <0, 1% of the enzymes will reach the blood.
- Prefer a mixture of different enzymes (from plants, animals, fungi etc.). The different enzymes stimulate the absorption by each other; this phenomenon is described, we cannot explain yet the mechanism.
- Look for the enzyme activity (USP, FIP), not for the mg per tablets. Take those tablets with the highest enzyme activity. Inactive enzymes are not effective.
- When you take tablets with the highest enzyme activity, you don’t need so many tablets to engulf.
- When you need smaller amounts of tablets with higher enzyme activity, the therapy will be cheaper.
- Free of Lactose: many people don’t know that they have Lactose intolerance and have only an unexplainable bad feeling after Lactose intake. Prefer lactose free tablets. Infant mammals are fed on milk by their mothers. The enzyme lactase cleaves lactose in the milk into its two subunits glucose and galactose for absorption. Most mammalian (also human) loos the capacity to produce lactase during maturity and they are unable to metabolise lactose. However, many people with ancestry in Europe, the Middle East, India, and the Maasai of East Africa, have a version of the gene for lactase that is not disabled after infancy, and in many of these cultures other mammals such as cattle, goats, and sheep are milked for food.
