If you ever have an inquiry from a prospect about their need for additional digestive enzymes, you may be interested to read this from USANA Information Services:While there are some people who can benefit from extra digestive enzymes, this is not the case in general. Enzymes are proteins and so to put them in a stable, utilizable form is not cheap or easy. Most digestive enzyme supplements on the market are very inconsistent in quality (that is being nice), stability andeffectiveness. If we find a source, product and delivery system that will provide high-quality, cost-effective and beneficial ingredients, we may do so. We will not, however, provide enzyme supplements that we cannot guarantee.
So, for now, we are still monitoring the situation.VERY IMPORTANT POINT: even though there may be some people who have trouble digesting large amounts of macronutrients like fat and protein,an enzyme supplement is NOT necessary to derive the benefits from the nutritional tablets. If your digestive system is compromised because you are not producing digestive enzymes anymore as a result of an illness or medical condition, taking nutritional supplements with plant enzymes will not likely cure the problem. In this situation, pancreatic enzymes must be taken as a prescription. Most plant enzyme supplements are not acid-stabilized and are simply broken down during digestion, providing no active benefit - aside from calories and nutrient content.
