Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes • Support a Problematic Gut

Last updated on December 15, 2020 By Ken Silvers

Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes is of of the best enzyme supplements that I’ve reviewed. Though each individual has unique needs, this supplement seems to benefit most people with digestive issues.

This review reveals a good quality product with numerous benefits. Read on to find out more.

Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes features

Doctor’s Best Enzymes has unique features. One thing is that it contains HSO organisms, namely Bacillus subtilis, a probiotic bacterium. Reviewing and this supplement has impressed me, which does not happen too often.

Digestive enzymes can calm an upset stomach

Main features.

  • Enzymes work well for both cooked and raw food
  • Breaks down vegetables, beans, grains, sugars, fiber

  • Doctor’s Best contains enzymes rarely seen in supplements, like dipeptidyl-peptidase IV, a powerful suppressor of inflammaton

How does it work?

For most people, the body’s production of digestive enzymes declines with age. But stress, poor diet, alcohol, and other factors also affect the body’s enzyme production. This tend to impair digestion causing bloating, a slow digestion, acid reflux, bad mood, and much more.

However, adding extra enzymes is a simple way to alleviate many gut problems. Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes is one of the most advanced and complete digestive supplements I’ve ever encountered. It contains high-quality microbial-derived enzymes. Many other supplements use animal-derived enzymes that tend to have a lower activity level.

This formula should fit the needs of most. When taken with a meal, the effect is immediate—less gas, bloating, constipation, pain, or heartburn.

Doctor’s Best homepage offers plenty of information about manufacturing principles, enzyme composition, and how to use it. They also support their claims with solid scientific studies, reviews, a handy fact sheet (see end of post). In addition, many satisfied customers add to the trust of this formula.

Bacillus subtilis

This bacterium is a powerful complement to digestive enzymes. Bacillus subtilis is a resistant human soil organism (HSO) found in soil, water, and air. When consumed, it survives the harsh stomach environment and enters the digestive tract. B. subtilis can suppress harmful microorganisms, lessen symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, and promote the growth of good gut bacteria. I have found this to work extremely well.

The verdict

Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes is a great digestive enzyme supplement. There’s no doubt about the quality of this product that should cover the needs of most people with common digestive problems. The cost for 90 capsules is only around $15 which makes it a sustainable option.

How to take

The recommended dose is 1 capsule with food. For some, it might be enough to take one capsule with the main meal each day. Others might need one capsule for every meal. In case of much heartburn, it might be an idea to add betaine as many report that this combination works well.

Ingredients

This list is impressive and reveals the serious research that has gone into preparing this excellent supplement. Of all the digestive enzyme supplements I’ve ever reviewed, Doctor’s Best Digestive Enzymes is the most advanced.
