AIM PrepZymes FAQs
Who should use AIM 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 AIM
PrepZymes®?
Yes, they may. Both children and pregnant women
should take the usual adult serving of one capsule before
or during each meal. However, when using dietary supplements,
it is recommended that you consult your
healthcare practitioner.
Is there anyone who should not take AIM
PrepZymes®?
Yes, it is recommended that those with gastritis or gastric
or duodenal ulcers not use AIM PrepZymes®.
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 (1993), 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
(1993) also notes that foods are predigested by enzymes
in the upper portion of the stomach, which is known as
the cardiac stomach. According to Henry Gray’s
Anatomy of the Human Body (1918), “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.”
May I take AIM PrepZymes® with AIM
FloraFood™ or other AIM products?
You may take AIM PrepZymes® with other AIM
products. AIM PrepZymes® and AIM FloraFood™ are
both best taken with meals. However, AIM PrepZymes®
will break down the bacteria in AIM FloraFood™, so
take these products with alternate meals.
