A member asked:

I am into weight training and my protein intake is high.i take 1gm of protein per my body weight(187lb). need a potent digestive enzyme?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No need: You do not need digestive enzymes. Your stomach, pancreas and intestine make enough digestive enzymes. You may be overdoing the protein supplements too. No more than 1gm protein/Kg of body weight is needed, including that in food and supplements, less may be adequate. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
