Garden of Life Vegetarian Digestive Supplement - Omega Zyme Ultra Enzyme Blend for Digestion, Bloating, Gas, and IBS, 180 Capsules

Great product and some advice too

Look, I'm no doctor but I've lived a very long time with digestive tract issues/ailments and learned a few things. The most important are twofold: 1) Doctors don't know everything; 2) Be responsible for your own health and KNOW YOUR OWN BODY! From Crohn's disease to diverticulitis/dverticulosis, I have had a too long journey through digestive/intestinal tract hell. I have suffered explosive (often bloody) diarrhea and constipation in the same 12 hr period. Doctor's have been of little help. It wasn't until I took control of my own body by changing my diet (hey men HAVE to have certain things in our diet women don't, and there are definitely things guys - especially older guys like me - need to avoid) and adding a few crucial supplements that I was able to find digestive peace and have done so now for two years now. This Garden of Life Omega-Zyme product I initially found in one of the major chain vitamin stores (at a significantly higher price!) a couple of years back. I eventually switched over to the Ultimate Digestive Blend to see if it provided even better results than the good I'd already experienced. I never went back to the the regular blend. Amazon pricing is much more reasonable on top of that. I use this product 3 times a day. Morning, midday and before bedtime after dinner. Used in conjunction with a 50 billion bacteria probiotic product not offered on Amazon (hopefully one day it will) taken once a day, my digestive issues have almost been completely eliminated only (well to be honest: mostly only) arising when I go off my dietary regimen and "treat" myself to too much of bad thing for someone with my particular health issues. Two of my teenage kid's developed the same issues I have (which I in turn think is hereditary as my father and one of my sisters shared these ailments) and I started them on these same two products and there been no more doctor's office visits since. If you want to try something else when other doctor prescribed medications fail or make you sick in other ways. Try this stuff along with a good probiotic supplement. Forget about yogurt. Pasteurization ruins yogurt's ability to offset the "bad" bacteria in your digestive tract with "good" bacteria. Yogurt is a waste of money. Hope this helps someone feel better and get healthy

A Maricle vatimin that helped my daughter with chronic hives

This item answered our prayers. My daughter was diagnosed with chronic hives that was caused by her immune system. She been battling with hives for 10 months and was missing a lot of school. Here is a picture of her hives from a scale to 1-10, this is a 3. I didn't want to post the other photos of her hives when it was a 10 because she asked me not to. It was the worse 10 months of her life. She is a teenager and was teased in school because of this. Online a woman posted her testimony about taking enzymes before every meal to help break down the your food intake. She said, when you food is not broken down correctly in your gut the first reaction is your skin. I wanted to try something natural because she been on and off steroids for 10 months. Within 2 weeks her hives were getting less and less and now its clear. Just try this vitamin, it worked for my daughter...

Omega-Zyme? More like Omega-Sick!

I am a huge fan of Garden of Life products. I take the the Perfect Food super green supplements everyday and I attribute many positive health benefits directly to them. Because of my happiness with their other products I thought I would give this one a try. Wow that was a big mistake! within a few hours of taking just one of these as directed, I had the worst heartburn I have ever had in my entire life. I was then up all night as my body to put it politely rejected this and everything else it contained... I was basically out of commission until these "enzymes" had completely been flushed out, and with them went what I can only imagine were many of the natural enzymes my body already had. The most notable side effect is that though I have always been very mildy lactose intolerant(I can eat cheese, cooked dairy, cottage cheese, yogurt, cup or less of milk at a time) I am now unable to consume even the smallest amount of any dairy product without having hours of stomach cramps(which I never used to have). Im sure there are some other side effects I havent noticed, and im guessing as time goes on I will once again be able to eat dairy and everything else will be back to normal, but I would STRONGLY suggest you use extreme caution. Though this may be an isolated event specific to me and my body, or some kind of allergic reaction, if it happened to me it can most definitely happen to you. I will continue to take my other Garden of Life products, and search out other new supplements. but oh man was this a bad idea. additionally I have the feeling amazon wont accept a return on this, so I am out $30..

Fraudulent Product?

I ordered two bottles of this product. The first bottle came fine, but I noticed over a few weeks that the powder in the capsules had started turning colors from a light tan to a mustard yellow. A chemical smell intensified as well. I was skeptical of the product, and threw the bottle away. I forgot that I had subscribed for this delivery service, so I received a second bottle today. I was anxious to see whether I was correct that the capsules had looked different last time, but when I opened the bottle, some capsules must have burst because there was loose yellow powder and that same strong smell of chemicals. I returned this to Amazon. I am not sure who fulfills these orders, but I do not believe these capsules to be filled with a legitimate product. I will be purchasing the tablets in the future to ensure I get the correct product, because this is actually a fabulous digestive enzyme that I have used in the past

Effective on Day One – Superior Product!

After researching several articles on several websites over a 2 day period, Garden of Life OmegaZyme Ultra emerged as my clear choice to try. I don't have any digestive disorders, but I am frequently bloated after I eat, no matter what I eat. For the first time in years, I did not feel bloated after my meals and I've only been using this supplement for one day! I am convinced that better, and more complete digestion of my food will take away my cravings for things I shouldn't be eating, which cravings probably show up because my food hasn't been digesting properly! Looking forward to the already positive results, over the long term

Excellent Product..but not sure it's best to buy on Amazon.

I've taken these digestive enzymes for years. They helped resolve a stomach problem so well, I was able to stop some medicine I had been on. They are especially helpful when eating rich foods. Unfortunately, my last bottle from Amazon looked like it should have been a discard. The box and label were upside down, the bottle cap was not on right and I couldn't tell if the seal came off when I took the top off or if it had never been sealed properly. I had it on auto delivery and didn't open the package soon enough to do anything more than cancel future deliveries. The 2 previous bottles had been fine

Cured my GERD

After 30 years of GERD, I am GERD free. I was at the point of two 150 mg Zantac a day and still having pain so bad it was like a heart attack. A friend hooked me up with a couple of these nondescript yellow pills he had in a baggie. I was desperate. At that point I would take anything, I was either going to be date raped or get cured. Thankfully, a day or two later I started getting relief. Two before each meal is how I started. I am down to two before lunch and that's it. Of anything I've ever purchased, this ranks in the top three

Gave me severe GI distress! ðŸ¤¢

I don't digest fats well so it was recommended by both my nutritionist and a doctor that I try a digestive enzyme. So I ordered this one. It gave me horrible stomach pain a couple hours after taking it with dinner. I had cramping, bolting, and GI distress. I felt sick all night and spent way too many hours on the toilet. Maybe I got a bad batch, or maybe it just reacts bad with my gut. For such high reviews I am very disappointed in this product

I'm not sure but think I received a bad batch.

I'm not sure but think I received a bad batch...twice! I tried this product over the summer and really liked it. It helped with my intestinal issues, had no bad odor or taste. I reordered it in September. When I received it, the security paper covering was half open, it smelled bad, and some of the capsules were open. It seemed as if it were tampered with...scary. I returned it right away and placed a new order. Unfortunately, the new bottle that I received was exactly the same. I was having stomach issues and desperate for some relief, so I tried taking it. The first time, my stomach hurt after so badly, but I thought it could've been the Mexican food I ate. But, when it happened the next 2 times, it became very clear that something was wrong with them. Sadly, I can no longer get a refund because I didn't get it returned before leaving town for 3 weeks, so now I'm out $55. So disappointing because I really like a few of their other products, but won't be ordering the Ultra Enzyme Blend again

Top notch

This is a quality product that works like its supposed to. I had terrible heartburn, was eating antacids like candy, nothing helped. Because of the effect on my vagus nerve, I was also having heart palpitations on a regular basis. A nurse I work with suggested I try digestive enzymes and told me Garden of Life was a quality brand. Noticed almost an immediate difference. One capsule with each meal and no more heartburn and the palpitations are just about non-existent. I have been using these for several months now and I have not had to use an antacid since then. I can eat anything, even bananas, which I had stopped eating years ago because they caused me so much of a problem. Its a lot better taking enzymes than antacids and other medications and Garden of Life is good quality and the cost is reasonable
