According to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/digestive-enzymes-and-digestive-enzyme-supplements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Johns Hopkins Medicine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the best digestive enzymes are the ones we make naturally, and they work optimally when we eat a diet full of whole foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4923703\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research from 2016<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> concluded that supplemental digestive enzymes could play an important therapeutic role in digestive and malabsorptive health issues such as lactose intolerance. In fact, prescription-grade digestive enzymes actually exist for use in people with the condition exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), explains gut health expert and registered dietitian Grace Clark-Hibbs, M.D.A., R.D.N., of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nutritionwithgracerdn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutrition with Grace<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

[This] can wreak havoc on the digestive system.\u201d That&#8217;s right, slowing down and <a href=\"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/biology\/chapter\/15-3-digestive-system-processes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adequately chewing your food has a significant impact on digestion<\/a>; the process of breaking down carbohydrates begins with the enzyme amylase in your mouth!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not to mention, as we age, we don\u2019t produce digestive enzymes as efficiently, which can lead to nutrient deficiencies, adds Matey. In her practice, she sees adults of all ages respond well to adding OTC digestive enzymes to their routine\u2014and this is especially true among folks 65 and over.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Choose the Right Digestive Enzyme<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So let\u2019s say you\u2019re dealing with bloating, diarrhea, gas, or another GI-related struggle and are curious about whether digestive enzymes could help things run more smoothly. As you stare down (or scroll through) a sea of digestive enzyme options, how do you know which one is right for you? Here\u2019s how to get to the bottom of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Observe Your Symptoms<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you plunk down cash for a bottle of enzymes, Clark-Hibbs says it\u2019s important to definitively identify what ails you. \u201cStep one is to start paying close attention to the types of symptoms you&#8217;re experiencing and keep track of them in a notebook or on your phone for at least a couple of weeks,\u201d she suggests. Note any digestive difficulties like bloating, heartburn, gas, diarrhea, constipation, or early satiety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it might give you a little bit of the ick, one of the best places to look for signs of malabsorption is the toilet bowl. \u201cYour daily BM can tell you a lot about what you need,\u201d Matey says. \u201cSeeing undigested food particles, \u2018off\u2019 colors in your stool like yellow or gray, or having floating, mushy, or greasy stools suggest the need for further evaluation.\u201d Hair loss, brittle nails, fatigue, or lightheadedness can all also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/22722-malabsorption\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">indicate poor nutrient absorption<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>\u00a02. <\/b><b>Look for Patterns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve pinpointed the symptoms you\u2019d like to mitigate, you can begin to look for patterns. For example, do you tend to feel worse after a meal high in carbs? Are there certain types of foods, such as beans or dairy, that leave you gassy for hours? Put on your detective hat to identify any correlations between symptoms and specific foods, meal timing, or even stress levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be a great practice for identifying <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">any <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">food-related health issues\u2014but Clark-Hibbs says it\u2019s especially useful for teasing apart your digestive support needs. \u201cIt will help you determine what part of the digestive process is struggling, which allows you to pinpoint what type of enzymes you need.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Match Enzymes to Symptoms\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From protease to lactase to lipase, there\u2019s a whole swath of digestive enzymes (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/digestion-gut-health\/enzymes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enzyme blends<\/a>) out there. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6910206\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests that different ones may help troubleshoot different health issues. In some cases, you may be able to select the appropriate enzyme for your digestive woes on your own, but this may take some trial and error.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/right-type-of-gut-health-supplement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>The Right Type of Gut Health Supplement for Every Goal<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, undigested food particles in the stool may indicate a need for pancreatic enzyme support, while gas production in the lower abdomen and bloating that increases throughout the day might point to insufficient <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/agricultural-and-biological-sciences\/brush-border\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brush border enzymes<\/a> (which <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">include<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sucrase-isomaltase, lactase, maltase-glucoamylase, and trehalase), explains Clark-Hibbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensitivities to specific food groups, such as dairy, could also make for a relatively easy enzyme decision, she says. (People with lactose intolerance often simply require more lactase.) Beans are another potential trigger food with a correlating enzyme. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/will-digestive-enzyme-supplements-help-your-heartburn-2018041313643\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alpha-galactosidase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may help you digest them with less gas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since navigating your choices can be tricky business, it\u2019s best to enlist help from a professional like a dietitian, integrative medicine practitioner, or your primary care doc. They can help you match the right enzymes to your symptoms based on the latest clinical research, according to Matey. Be sure to take your food record to your appointment, and don\u2019t hesitate to share any patterns you\u2019ve sleuthed out with your provider.<\/span> (The Vitamin Shoppe offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/lp\/nutritionists\">free nutrition coaching<\/a> for its Healthy Awards members.)<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Choose A Top-Notch Product<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your provider doesn\u2019t suggest a specific brand of enzymes after pinpointing the type you need, it\u2019s on you to do your homework to find a reputable product. Look for third-party testing seals from organizations like NSF, USP, or ConsumerLab, which tell you a product has been analyzed for safety and quality. \u201cIt&#8217;s also important to use your own discernment and question claims that seem too good to be true,\u201d Clark-Hibbs adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for dosing, ask your healthcare provider how much of an enzyme you should take based on your specific symptoms. Otherwise, simply follow printed instructions. \u201cI recommend identifying a high-quality brand, trialing their recommended dose before each meal, tracking how you feel over a few weeks, and working with your provider to adjust from there as needed,\u201d says Clark-Hibbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A great place to start is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/digestive-enzymes-90-veggie-caps\/vs-2587\">The Vitamin Shoppe brand&#8217;s Digestive Enzymes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatigue, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation\u2014the signs of poor digestion are numerous, not to mention uncomfortable.
