Here's how it works, and more.
Here's how digestion works in simple terms: Stomach acid breaks down food and this acid signals the pancreas to release digestive enzymes. The problem is that proton inhibitors for acid reflux taken over more than a few weeks (like Nexium and others) completely shuts down acid production in the stomach. No stomach acid, no broken down food. No digestive enzymes released. Total indigestion, fullness, nausea, malnutrition. Setting you up for yeast overgrowth (candida) and malabsorption…

What’s great for stomach pain?

It works for lactose intolerance

The label is hard to understand. Does this product actually contain DPP-IV enzyme?

Best Answer:  The label says DPP-IV Peptidase Blend (Protease I, II, III, IV, V)

Does the Lipase (and any other enzyme destroyed by acid) in Digest Extra have an enteric coating? Enteric coated enzyme products are protected against destruction by stomach acid.

Best Answer:  Not as far as I know. The Digest Extra that I buy is contained in a vegetable capsule. I believe that a close reading of the description of the ingredients should clear this up for you.

Does this help with acid reflux?

Best Answer:  I take one every day. And no acid reflux yet. You might want to consider to not eat bread pizza or pastry of any kind for good. As a remedial help to a current or an ongoing acid reflux or a heartburn I would take four pills a day twice a day the whole bottle, as a serious digestion enhancer to be able to digest any kind of food that you might intake to keep the level of stomach acid down and low. Good luck to you.

How long before you see results?

Best Answer:  Hello,
It's hard to say, it really depends on your situation. If you are ill or have weak digestion, I would guess that you should notice results in about 2 weeks time. You should notice less undigested food moving through your digestive tract almost immediately, so your "restroom experience" will likely improve as well.

Does this product contain any animal- derived ingredients?

Best Answer:  No

Linda, Thank you for quick response. What conditions did you use this for? I have acid reflux

Best Answer:  I would think of this as an aid to digesting things that would normally cause a bit of stomach distress. It is not, for me, and acid reflux aid. I suppose if what you eat causes the excess acid then this could help. But in my experience acid reflux is a separate issue more mechanical in nature, often accompanied by a hiatal hernia. You may need to have that checked out. This is a good product, worth a try!

Can an 11 year old take it?

Best Answer:  Eleven year old I would not think would need digestive assistance
