Diarrhea
While there are many causes
of diarrhea, research indicates
bromelain – a common
proteolytic enzyme supplement
sourced from the stem of
pineapple – can serve as an
effective anti-diarrheal. While
there remains some debate on
how bromelain actually works,
it has been shown effective at
relieving diarrhea caused by
intestinal pathogens, including
severe bugs like cholera and E.
coli.
Systemic proteolytic enzymes also boost your immune system,
making a systemic proteolytic enzyme supplement which includes
bromelain a good choice. And since many seem to pick up these
type of stomach bugs while travelling abroad, be sure to pack some
extra enzyme supplements which include bromelain in your bags
before you head out.
Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism, caused by insufficient thyroid hormone
production, has numerous side effects. While enzyme therapy
cannot restore thyroid function, it can help support your body and
protect it from some of the worst effects of the disease.
Digestive enzyme therapy, especially with lipase and carbohydrases
to help fully break down fats and carbohydrates will help common
symptoms of hypothyroidism such as fatigue.
