Finding the ideal dose for your body and needs is essential to ensure that you get the most out of any supplement, medication or treatment. You can have the best product in the world, but if you have the wrong dosage, it’s not gonna work.

Supplements have a “serving size” on the bottle, but is that YOUR dosage? 

NOPE!

The ideal dose for each individual can vary based on their specific health needs and circumstances, and it is important to find YOUR ideal dose. Many people end up taking the “serving size” and then being frustrated that it isn’t working.

What the “Serving Size” on Supplements Actually Means

The recommended “serving size” on supplements is generally considered to be the dose for the majority of people to see a positive effect. However, it’s important to keep in mind that there is a bell curve effect where approximately 34 to 36% of individuals may experience a different reaction to a particular compound. This group includes both hyper responders and hypo responders. And this may have nothing to do with weight or height or sex or anything that’s easily measurable.

So there’s a large percentage of folks if you give them one or two capsules, even if that’s what the back of the bottle says, they might not see an effect, or they might see too much of an effect. In other words, a 250 pound man may see a mind-blowing breakthrough with one capsule per meal, and a 100 pound woman may need six per meal before she sees a breakthrough.

If you are reading this, it is likely that you are a hyper or hypo responder, as people who are within the normal range usually don’t embark on the journey of healing their brain and gut, and we need to do some experimentation to find your ideal dose. 

How Do I Find My Ideal Dose?

The ideal dose for each individual can vary based on their specific health needs and circumstances, and it is important to find YOUR ideal dose. Many people end up taking the “serving size” and then being frustrated that it isn’t working.

For many individuals, finding the ideal dose requires trial and error. Start with a low dose and gradually increase it until you find something that works for you.

Digestive Enzyme Dosage:

I suggest starting by taking one capsule with each protein-containing meal for a few days and observing your body. If you are sensitive to supplements, you may want to open a capsule and start with just 1/2 of it’s contents.

In a few days, you may experience the following benefits: reduced bloating, improved bowel movements, reduced inflammation-related issues, less severe symptoms, increased ability to tolerate more foods in your diet, greater brain clarity, and/or reduced skin issues.

If you do not experience these benefits, try doubling the dosage for a few days. If nothing happens after a few days, try adding a capsule to the amount you’re taking with each meal. Enzymes are safe at massive doses. In fact there is a protocol to treat cancer that has been successful using enzymes at very high doses (up to 160 capsules) without food with no adverse effects!

What Happens If I Feel….?

Nothing? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And… if you’re still experiencing unwanted digestive symptoms, it’s time to up your dose. Try doubling it and see how you feel.

Worse? While digestive enzymes are generally safe, even at very large doses, they can sometimes cause side effects in certain individuals. This is very rare, especially when taken with food, but some potential side effects are stomach upset, bloating, gas, nausea, heartburn (acid reflux), diarrhea, or an upset stomach after taking digestive enzymes. This can be due to the increased activity of enzymes in the digestive system. If you experience any of these effects, pause taking the supplement until your symptoms improve, and then restart at a slower pace with a smaller dosage.

Allergic reactions? An even more rare side effect is allergic reactions with digestive enzymes. Symptoms may include itching, rash, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, stop taking enzymes immediately. 

Amazing? You found your perfect dose! Congratulations! Keep taking that many enzymes with each meal. You may want to play with the dosage by removing one capsule and seeing how few you can take while still feeling good. We don’t want to be dependent on a supplement forever, but we certainly want to have it when we need it.
