MaryRuth Organics Ultra Digestive Enzymes Capsules | Up to 2 Month Supply | Supplement for Gut Health Support | Digestion & Immune Support with Amylase | Lipase & Lactase | Vegan | 60 Count

I have been purchasing the Mary Ruth's Ultra Digestive Ezymes for well over a year now. I am a 49 year old woman who has Celiac Disease. It caused a great deal of intestinal damage prior to me discovering I had it and going gluten free. It's to the point where I struggle with serious nutrient malabsorption. On top of that difficulty, I have a variety of complex digestive system issues. These enzymes have greatly helped with that, reducing bloating, stomach pains, and many other typical digestive woes. The supplements do have limits. I cannot expect to simply take the enzymes and not continue to watch what I eat. For example, I do have some dairy issues and while these help a lot, I cannot overdo the amount of dairy I consume at a meal. The pills can understandably only do so much. And of course those of us who truly need to eat gluten free due to medical issues, need to remain strictly gluten free, even with enzymes. So I do stay vigilant. Although it is nice to know that at a potluck or restaurant, these pills give me a bit of help should I encounter any accidental cross contamination. With all of that said, the biggest issue I find with these is not with the actual supplement pills. But rather I am troubled by the new-ish labeling on the bottle and in the description that boldly proclaims "2 month supply". In my opinion that is very unrealistic. I take one to two pills at a time. And I do this at every meal or snack because I have such extensive digestive issues. So some days, I could take 6 pills or more (of course depending on the meal/snack, often one pill will do with each intake of food). But with only 60 pills in a bottle, a "2 month supply" would equal only one pill a day (at only one meal or snack). I suppose if you are someone who only has occasional need for these supplements, that might work. But honestly, if you are to the point where you feel you need to spend money on enzymes, you are likely to need more help than that. My children also have Celiac, but we caught it sooner, so they don't have as much damage. They only use the enzymes when eating a food that might cause digestive issues. And yet, one bottle would not last 2 months for any of them. I did look on Amazon to check how many bottles I ordered in 2021. I discovered I'd purchased 44 bottles. However, that total does include the fact that there are two other members of our family who are taking these as well (not at every meal like me, but when they eat a food that might cause difficulty). This new labeling is troubling as it seems a huge oversight at best. And at the worst, it is very misleading marketing designed to hook someone on the effectiveness of the product in hopes they will then buy way more than one bottle every two months (I certainly do). I prefer to give this company the benefit of the doubt and say that it's not intentionally misleading though. But I do feel it's irresponsible that the bottle has the label that states it as fact. Yes, people can read the suggested way to take the supplements, can see how many total pills are in the bottle, and calculate accordingly. But some people may not do that. They may assume from the label that all that's needed is one pill a day and that stays in the system for 24 hours (which is incorrect). The info from the company does say in the Amazon description: "Each bottle contains 60 capsules, with a serving size of 1 capsule, and will last 1-2 months. Adults take 1 capsule prior to each meal or more capsules as needed." I believe that removing the misleading labeling would be ideal. But if that's not done, it would be best to clearly state on the bottle and in the online description on Amazon that how long the bottle lasts can vary widely as the pills need to be ingested with each meal or snack that may cause issues. For people like me, with intestinal damage, IBS, etc, that will be every meal and snack. For others, that will vary. I honestly don't see any way that, in complete honesty, a particular amount of time that a bottle will last can be set, much less advertised. I do still highly recommend this product, and I have given it five stars due to how much it has personally helped me and improved my life. There are many days when my gut feels normal, and that is an amazing blessing! Until I began using these, I was in absolute misery every day, even with the care I took to watch what I ate. I am still careful with food, but find this supplement a must-have in my life. I just wanted to write this review in the hopes that someone from the company would consider my input. I also wanted to highlight for those who may be considering purchasing this product that one bottle is very unlikely to last two months. Go ahead and buy it. If your experience is like mine, you will not waste your money! Just be sure to calculate how many pills you think you may need and purchase the number of bottles accordingly.

Works well.Sinuses do not suffer from acid reflux gas as much!

Since taking this, my gallbladder pain and irritable bowel are almost nonexistent! Highly recommend!

I take this with Ox Bile to make up for my gallbladder removal. It really helps with digestion.

Better than the bigger brands. Hope they remain a small company. Good quality product and fair price.

These digestive enzyme capsules from MaryRuth Organics work well for me. Easy to take and gentle on my stomach. I’ve noticed a positive difference.

It says a lot about where my life is at that I'm nearing 40 and writing a review online to rejoice about eating tomatoes, but man, that's where I am, and I couldn't be happier. Last year I blew out my endocrine system in a midlife crisis. I did way too much exercise, ate way too little food, and turned out to have a wicked stealthy case of sleep apnea that was further taxing my system at night. (I don't snore and had no daytime nod offs, so the doctors made me 1 in 100 to actually have sleep apnea. Turns out 1 in 100 isn't 0 in 100, because I was that one!) This incessant 24/7 physical stress put my HPA axis on the brink, and after my cortisol levels mercifully came down I developed something called glucocorticoid resistance, which is like insulin resistance, except with your stress buffering hormones. My receptors got so numb from being blasted with all that cortisol that they stopped letting it in, so now my cortisol production is normal but my cortisol response is low, drastically reducing my physical stress tolerance and compromising all sorts of bodily functions I took for granted. Thank God I seem to have recovered from most of the worst symptoms of this, but two I seemingly couldn't shake are nausea and indigestion: no matter what I ate I felt bloated and gross, never healthy and alive like I used to (and should!) after a good meal. The sleep apnea also added on acid reflux, meaning lots of my favorite foods (coffee, matcha, chocolate, tomatoes) now mean hours of sickly slouching and gurgling ... or at least they did, until I found Mary Ruth! These enzymes are incredible. All I do is take one with every meal, and I'm fine. Better than fine, I feel nourished and energetic again. I can't believe this was the secret. I've tried so many supplements, prescriptions, and OTC solutions, and almost all of them did nothing or made the problem worse, but these enzymes are worth their weight in gold. They've brought me back to food, and to my morning chunky arjamolho soup that I missed so badly. Bless you, Mary Ruth. I tried other enzymes, but these are the only ones that reliably work - as always in the supplement world, you get what you pay for. Amazing, amazing stuff.

I bought this product with high hopes of fixing my weak gut and for 3 weeks to a month, I thought I had found the perfect product. It improved my digestion greatly and I was going to the bathroom a lot more often. However, after the 1 month period, I think my body has developed a defense against the pill and whenever I take it, I end up having very painful cramps just below my chest. The pain has affected me on 3 different occasions that I had to cancel my shift or show up late to work. In my opinion, I think it is a good product and maybe perfect for someone with a stronger gut but not for me and so as I write this today, I have just thrown the bottle into the trash and will look to find another solution.
