Divine Bounty Digestive Enzymes with Probiotics & Prebiotics, 90 Capsules

TDLR: I've taken these for 3 weeks so far. Out of all the supplements I've tried, digestive enzymes seems to give me the most noticeable benefits. What I noticed is less hunger signal and able to go longer without foods or not have to eat as much calories, likely due to improved absorption of nutrients. I will have to see if it continue to help and how I feel with and without it for the long term. Long version: I consider my diet to be decently nutrient dense, consisting of grassfed and pasture raised animals and organs. I don't have food allergies and can eat any variety of foods, including plants and wheat. I commonly eat a high fat diet without issues, no heart burns, and have good bowel movement. So I didn't expect to get much benefits from digestive enzymes. I initially bought these to take on an empty stomach actually. The idea is the enzymes help break up the left over macronutrients (carb/protein/fat) which aids fat metabolism and get the body into "autophagy" quicker. After about the first 10 days taking it, sometimes with meals, sometime without, I noticed some days I didn't feel as hungry and didn't have to eat very much to be satisfied. I could increase my intermittent fasting hours and not crave foods. I'm by no means sedentary and my job required walking 5+ miles a day. I read anecdotes from some people who said it made them hungrier. This is not my experience, but it has to be taken into context. Perhaps eating a nutrient dense diet that have adequate protein to maintain muscle, getting enough micronutrients, and being able to switch into fat burning mode, these would allow me to decrease my calories intake somedays without negative effects. Also digestive enzyme seems to cause blood sugar spike for some people, as enzymes does help increase rate of absorption. Specifically the enzyme 'amylase' which help break down starch into sugar, so maybe combining digestive enzymes with a high carb and sugary meal is not ideal. Of course, there's also the argument that if you can't make your own enzymes then you're depended on exogenous digestive enzymes forever. There are strategies to improve enzymes production and bile flow, but so far I see exogenous digestive enzymes as a helpful aid.

Just started taking these. One or two before dinner, depending on how heavy my meal is...more often as needed during the day. I feel they work great and will definitely purchase again. I love that they have a well rounded mix of vitamins, pre- and probiotics. Also a huge factor for me was that it's soy free. I was taking a popular woman's enzyme previously and had no idea it had soy derivatives in the formula, which I'm not supposed to have. Thank you Divine Bounty for keeping me regular and feeling gut healthy! Would recommend to anyone. Move forward six years later April 2024…I am still using this and have trusted this company in making a high quality product. Still helping with my digestion, especially after a big meal. And in helping digestion, it’s helps you stay more regular…know what I mean? I sometimes open the capsule and put it in yogurt or applesauce as I have a hard time swallowing pills, although they go down good whole well enough. I’m a nurse I read every label and research stuff as much as I can. Still very happy with using this. Please note these are obviously my own claims on the product.

I made the mistake to take it while on the road. It was not a smart idea because it will make you go! It is effective but does not give you a warning signal. Well I forgot I took it. I did not feel gassy, I did not feel it coming I was glad I was close to a truck stop. I had a normal movement it was fuller than usual but no cramping or craziness.

I had gastric bypass four years ago and have a terrible time digesting carbs and fats. I have tried different enzymes and these work the best for me. I also really like source naturals enzymes but I have to take two or three of those instead of one of these. So this brand is cheaper in the long run. Plus my stomach isn't that big so taking two to three pills is not fun. This also contains certain vitamins that we bypass patients can run low on. So it's a win win. I take one pill with each meal. I feel great and never get stomach aches from it. I don't get near as much gas at I used to either. But most of the time I follow a strict keto diet so I take the mostly for fat digestion. I have kept the weight off since surgery with eating well and enzymes. So for any of you that had surgery like me try these and if they don't work for you then try source naturals. I also take Nestle Optisource multivitamin and Amazon berry B12 and EZ melts iron when necessary. They are all great vitamins if you are searching. Good luck!

I've had minor digestive issues most of my adult life. My dad and sister do too, so I've always just accepted it as my fate. It wasn't until recently that I decided to see a functional medicine doctor in order to get to the root cause of my symptoms. She started by putting me on an elimination diet (which only exacerbated my problems) and prescribing a number of supplements, including a digestive enzyme. I was already taking an enzyme, so I held off on trying the brand she recommended until I finished what I already had. Well, her brand turned out to be pricey, so I searched Amazon for something comparable. Divine Bounty's digestive enzymes had most of the same ingredients, but at a higher dosage and for about half the price. I've purchased other supplements from Divine Bounty and like that they don't contain any fillers, so I decided to give this one a try. I'm so glad I did! It has honestly been a life-changer! It's common for me to get stomach aches/gas/bloating after lunch - regardless of what I eat - but not since I started taking these enzymes. I can even eat beef and dairy - my two worst offenders that typically send me running to the bathroom - and I feel fine afterwards! I like that I only need to take one capsule a day. Most other brands I've researched are supposed to be taken before each meal. I've never experienced such noticeable results from any supplement, so I wholeheartedly recommend this one.

I compared the ingredients to 4 other digestive enzyme products. This brand is the most potent and complete. There are lots of "extras" to cover whatever might ail you. The problem is, these make me gag. The smell, part of the taste, all of it. However, they definitely work for a range of G.I. problems. Value-wise, they are great. But since the smell and taste repulses me, I'm trying out others. BTW, I'm not usually sensitive to smells and tastes.

Product is working very well.

The day I found these years ago, I knew these were going to be a really good part of my life. I have been taking them now for 5 years and they are my best supplement. If I forget to take for some reason I can always tell because my food just doesn’t process as well going through my body. I would highly recommend to everyone to try this supplement. It is a game changer. No side effects and very reasonably priced.
