digestive enzymes

[coffeelover]

Just reading up on digestive enzymes and seems they're great for a lot of things.

Seems they help your body to digest carbs, fats and protein to get better nutrition from the foods you eat and with metabolism. Apparently as we age our enzymes are depleted. Mine must be almost non existent. They also claim to help with aging.

Does anyone take any form of these? If so did you see a difference.

My dad takes probiotics, not sure they are the same but they help his ibs. He takes high dose tablets from Holland & Barratt.

Thanks Annie, the ones I was looking at were from holland & barrett too and it does say they help with ibs and food intolerance too.

This is what they look like

I think the pills have loads more probiotic too. He also take slippery elm as he has v v bad ibs. That's apparently the best thing ever.
