Systemic enzymes are taken on an empty stomach as digestion will interfere with their effectiveness. We suggest you take our Masszymes first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, or during the day to elicit a systemic enzymatic effect. To improve digestion take Masszymes a few minutes before each meal of the day. **Please Note: Our enzymes can be used both for food digestion and on an empty stomach as well. When you take our MassZymes on an empty stomach they become metabolic. If you take them with the food they become digestive.

No! The enzymes we recommend are perfectly safe to consume. Some people with gastritis or ulcers may not be able to consume them. But be sure to consult your health professional and ask him/her if enzymes are safe for you to use.

No. Most brands sold in stores only work at a very narrow PH level, which means they get destroyed during the digestive process. Our Full Spectrum enzymes work at a PH range between 2 and 12, which maximizes its digestive effects. Plus our supplement is the most powerful protease supplement on the market. Also, due to the high protease count in our MassZymes, this can actually help reduce strength loss, and boost short-term strength recovery too when you train.

We use stabilized hypoallergenic rice bran as an agent to prolong the shelf life of the enzymes which can become activated by moisture. By including a stabilized hypoallergenic rice bran we are able to offer longer shelf life and improved effectiveness of the product.
