What do enzymes do?
Digestive enzymes pre-digest food and support a healthy immune response.
What if I forget to take my enzymes?
It happens to the best of us! You are human! Of course, we want you to take them because they can't help your body when they stay in the bottle. If you forget to take your "with meals" enzyme at the beginning or during your meal, go ahead and take them after. Give yourself some grace. If you are having a difficult time taking your enzymes as recommended, reach out to us. We can work together to make your schedule manageable.
How do I take "empty stomach" enzymes?
"Empty stomach" means that there is no food in your stomach while the enzymes are passing through. By taking enzymes on an empty stomach, they are not used up digesting food. They go past digestion to work on other things in the body. Your stomach is usually empty 2 hours after you eat. When taken on an empty stomach, the enzymes usually pass through your stomach within 1 hour from taking them. So as a general rule, when you are advised to take them on an empty stomach, you should avoid eating for at least 1 hour.
How long will I need to take the supplements?
Here at Alo, we strongly recommend a digestive enzyme with most meals due to today's food supply being stripped of its enzymes. When most people begin their wellness journey, there may be 2 to 4 supplements recommended. Jen aims to reduce that as quickly as possible. This is achieved by focusing on what the physical assessment, signs and symptoms, and urine panel (if applicable) indicate. Every body is different. And every individual experiences stress in a different way. The goal is to relieve the stress by supplementing where needed, eliminating stress whenever possible, and making changes to lifestyle, mindset, and nutrition in a sustainable manner. Remember, wellness is not a sprint, it's a marathon. Small changes over time make longer lasting impacts overall.
