Digestive Enzymes
Good Digestion Begins With Enzymes
Digestive Enzymes are made by the pancreas and are necessary for the assimilation of nutrients from food. Without these enzymes, the body cannot absorb nutrients (vitamins and minerals) efficiently
Incompletely digested food is associated with a number of health problems including:
- gas
- bloating
- a sense of "fullness" after eating (not related to simple over-eating)
- indigestion
- irritable bowel (constipation and/or diarrhea)
- abdominal cramps.
Other health problems also arise from incomplete digestion:
- arthritis
- chronic nasal mucous
- allergies
- joint aches and pains
- candidiasis
- high blood pressure
- decreased vitality.
Digestive enzymes taken with meals assist in digestion and help correct the problems caused by incomplete breakdown of foods. When digestive enzymes are taken between meals, they have an anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting effect.
Similase Digestive Enzymes for Adults
Similase™ This highly concentrated Plant Enzyme digestive formula is for people on a "mixed" diet containing fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber & dairy products.
NOTE: Do not use if gastritis or duodenal ulcer is present. (Use Gastric Complex, described below, instead).
Suggested dose 1-2 Capsules with each meal.
Dr. Myatt's comment: I believe that virtually everybody can benefit from added digestive enzymes. Enzymes help ensure proper assimilation of nutrients, as well as preventing intestinal toxemia. Plant enzymes are preferred because they function in a broader pH range than animal-derived enzymes.

Notes
Caution: While Similase GFCF will reduce the level of reactive gliadin and gluten proteins in a meal, it is advised that celiac disease sufferers continue with their normal gluten exclusion diet as even small amounts of gliadin can cause adverse reactions in the most sensitized individuals. If pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription drugs, consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use.
