Who should use PrepZymes ?
If you believe that you are not digesting foods well, you should use digestive enzymes. In addition,
we have fewer enzymes as we age, so we should always consider using digestive enzymes as we grow
older.
May children and pregnant women take PrepZymes ?
Yes, they can. Both children and pregnant women should take the usual adult serving of one capsule
before or during each meal.
Is there anyone who should not take PrepZymes ?
Yes, it is recommended that those with gastritis or gastric/duodenal ulcers not use
AIMPrepZymes®.
If we take enzymes orally,
aren't they destroyed by stomach acid before they can
do anything?
According to Santillo, this is not true. In his book Food Enzymes, he cites university research that
has shown that supplemental enzymes pass through the stomach uninjured. In one study, the enzyme
amylase digested starch in the stomach and then moved into the small intestine, where it continued
digestion.
Santillo also notes that foods are predigested by enzymes in the upper portion
of the stomach, which is known as the cardiac stomach. According to Gray's Anatomy, "The cardiac
portion of the stomach is a food reservoir in which salivary digestion continues. The pyloric
[lower stomach] portion is the seat of active gastric digestion."
What is the source of the enzymes found in PrepZymes ?
The enzymes found in AIMPrepZymes® are cultured from Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus
oryzac, two types of fungi.
May I take PrepZymes with FloraFood ?
Yes, although not at the same time. AIMFloraFood® should be taken on an empty stomach,
30 minutes before or two hours after a meal. AIMPrepZymes® should be taken just before
or during meals.
May I take PrepZymes with other AIM products ?
Yes, you may.
