Enzymes Supplements

[Vrindavan]

What he failed to mention was that radiation destroys living enzymes in wholesome foods like spinach and strawberries, stripping them of their nutritional value.

How popular is food radiation in U.S. now ?

I have a question about enzymes too. If enzymes are so easy to destroy, how can they make a pill with them? If live foods don't have enough of them, how can they be bottled?

Hi Vrindavan -

I like both Doctor's Best and Enzymedica.

Yes, they can be consumed without the capsule. Some may have a special coating to bypass the stomach. Those, I would probably take in the capsule.

>> Ingredients (Proprietary blend):
Proteases 1, 2 & 3, Endopeptidase Proteases including Serra-peptase and Bromelain

not sure why it is not in a special capsule ?

>> Yes, they can be consumed without the capsule.

sometimes i wonder how complete our digestive system dissolves the capsule, so i try to break or open it first to consume

O.k....NOW I'm CONFUSED!!! Why does one that's 100% RAW ***NEED*** and Enzyme Supplement? Alissa doesn't say that we need that in her book....

[Vrindavan]

i think it is REALLY optional

but it is really a matter of better off or no difference.

because it is better off with it for me, so i prefer to use it

[ReneeH]

Forgive me please, but isn't the whole purpose of being 100% RAW is so that Supplements ARE NOT NEEDED...??? I know that you say they're "optional", but why the "OPTION"? Why is taking a supplement "better off" than being 100% RAW with no supplements???

[ReneeH]

>> they work well for someone eating SAD, heavy raw, not food combining, etc.

what is SAD ?
what do you mean not food combining ?

Thanks for reply

SAD = Standard American Diet

Again, we're trying to be 100% RAW on this site...I don't think Alissa is supporting taking ANY supplements... Alissa has this set up to support the RAW lifestyle and based on HER BOOK which doesn't say that supplements are needed. Interestingly, you began this thread asking if anyone takes enzyme supplements...

[Vrindavan]

just don't buy it then

HUMMMM.... O.K., that's INTERESTING... I honestly didn't KNOW that she sells them!!! I didn't see a mention of them in the book and was wondering about them is all.... I guess she DOES support taking supplements (the ones she sells)...my baddd!!!

just don't buy it then

No need to get "huffy"!!! I just asked!!!! After all, I'm still among the "learning" here... It's confusing because I thought eating RAW was all that was needed... I took supplements when on the SAD diet because the food does not provide what was needed to maintain a healthy body.

No worries...you answered my questions, so I'm outta here...
