I've had terrible acid reflux ever since pregnancy -- over 10 YEARS. It was so bad in the last couple years that I would sometimes wake up choking on acid and not able to breathe right away. I had trigger foods that made things intolerable -- tomato based anything, some vegetarian soy based foods, citrus, tortilla chips, etc. It seemed that foods just sat on my stomach forever. I was sleeping on a mountain of pillows for an incline and still having issues. I was taking 40mg Nexium at bedtime (prilosec wouldn't cut it), along with 150 of zantac, and keeping mylanta by my bed -- often swigging throughout the night. I'm an RN and know all the possible bad effects of reflux AND the meds.I've been taking these about a month now with great results! I'm still taking the Nexium, but the need for the other meds are gone. I'm able to sleep without the mountain of pillows to stay elevated. I'm actually considering trying to cut back on the nexium. It may go great, but it's scary to try. I'll update this review if that goes well.I take this right before or during a meal if I forgot. It's helping my stomach empty before bed (and throughout the day). From what I have been reading, digestive enzymes will either work or not. If you have a deficiency, then they can help (though it's thought to be rare). If you don't have a deficiency, it doesn't appear that they will do any harm (do your own research -- I'm no expert). I've been able to have spaghetti sauce, pizza, salsa for with dinner as long as I take these and have an hour or two before laying down. I'm so stinking giddy.****I admit that I am taking more than the recommended 1 a day. I am taking one before any meal that I think might give me trouble. If after an hour, my stomach still feels a little off, I'll take another one (especially before sleeping). Read more

In the past year, I was medically diagnosed with IBS. The doctor prescribed me medicine to take everyday for it, but that was not the route I was looking for. As a result, I changed my diet. I found what foods bothered me (artificial preservatives mostly). The times that I cannot avoid these additives and other bothersome foods, these enzymes do wonders! I just take 1 when I know there might be an issue. Not only do I not get severe stomach pains, but I can also eat without worry. I definitely recommend these enzymes for those who wish to better digest their food, but recommend finding out what really bothers you first to avoid having to take them all the time (I belive the bottle only recommends 1x a day anyway). An added benefit is that I lost at least 5lbs while taking these. Read more

Ever heard of 'eating for your blood type'?? I'm an A blood type was told this essentially means my body prefers anything plant-based (aka 'vegetarian')... does not like meat -- not any kind. I was also diagnosed with low digestive enzymes -- probably because I eat chicken more often than I 'should'. When I found this Full Spectrum Plant-Based Digestive Enzymes, I jumped on it. One capsule at the beginning of a meal has definitely helped! Now, steaks/burgers/red meat are a different story and require a stronger set of enzymes -- these are a big no-no for A blood types, but how can you completely resist a good steak once in a while, right? On an everyday basis, this Full Spectrum Enzymes bottle does the trick. Read more

Finally found this digestive supplement, which has the right quantities of all our needed enzymes. I only need one of these to enable my body to digest an 8oz filet. For me, I had to take 6 of the weak CVS enzymes to digest just a couple bites of red meat. These guys are a life saver! And, for those who are just mild to average lactose intolerant, these have supplements have that built in, too. I can get away with a little cheese, etc., with these, but if I'm going for a big bowl of ice cream, I still have to take a couple of the all powerful Equate brand super strength lactase. Read more

I have always had problems including Lactose Intolerance and Irritable Bowel syndrome As I have gotten older I also developed problems with most vegetables including green vegetables and the legumes (Beans and peas etc) I have tried numerous Digestive products to control the gas and diarrhea including probiotics and physical agents that absorb the intestinal gases. None of them worked satisfactorily except for Lactase and Lean Nutraceuticals. Read more

I've been a repeat customer of LEAN for the past couple years. When I saw their recent release of their Digestive Enzyme Supplement I really wanted to give it a shot. I felt so much better after gorging myself at Thanksgiving. I didn't have the brick feeling in my stomach that I usually have after eating a large meal. Read more

Most excellent digestive enzyme. I regularly got gas and taking this I notice that it has been NOTICEABLY reduced. Great enzyme, works right away, simply take with your meal. Well recommended if you have problems digesting certain foods, for me it was beans and greens, so if you have the same problem you'll really enjoy this. But you know, it says other things like carbs and fats so give it a try. Read more

I'm so grateful for finding this product! I have terrible acid reflux and heartburn. I've only been taking this for 5 days, but already am very happy with the results! I'm not saying it's completely gone, but it is so much improved! I haven't tested it with spicy foods yet, I'm still afraid to do that. But, if I do, I will update. This has been so good for me. I'm sleeping through the night, and having 0 heartburn. Read more
