    I'd count enzymes right up there with my top 10 'must-have' supplements personally.

    Enzymes' uses/effects in the body are not limited to the digestive environment.

    But, w/ reference to said environment, the more we can assimilate... the higher our feed efficiency...

    Bromelaine for one, is my mainstay.

    Great anti-inflammatory... awesome protein digestive aide...great assistive therapy as an anti-coagulant...

    Bromelaine has also been pegged as a plausible potential treatment in autoimmune disease.

    I started to use it heavily when i had soft tissue injury from a high impact car accident some weeks back.

    ...and, what should've taken months to heal, took weeks.

    I was out of the gym for only one day in fact.

    Food for thought.

    what do you use for your enzyme supplement, a specific product or do you buy bulk/make your own?

    I have tried blends... but for now i just use bromelain by the company 'natural factors'.

    This is the 500mg/capsule dosage.

    One capsule provides 1000GDU.

    I use 3 capsules every 3 hours.

    I believe peak concentration is reached an hour post-consumption...

    does the mg or gdu(btw what does this mean) matter more, because i see products with less mgs but have high gdus?

    Higher GDU matters more definitely... If you can get 1000-2000 you've got a good product. I've seen some as high as 2400 however. The brand I currently use, I've stuck with it because it's worked well for me.
