Question 1

Would this be a proteolytic enzyme formula and is it of very good quality?

Accepted Answer

Sorry but I disagree. This is not a true Proteolytic Enzyme blend. It is missing some very important enzymes, to name just two, Rutin and Serratiopeptidase, but it is good when taken with food. A Proteolytic Enzyme needs to be taken on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating. Any enzyme taken with food will be used to breakdown food and will not cross into the blood to effect the body as a Proteolytic would as there will not be any left after digestion has taken place.

Question 2

Can the capsules be opened easily? I want to give them to a child who cannot swallow pills. Is it just a powder inside? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Josiah - Yes, they are incredibly easy to open and inside it is simply a white powder. You should have no problem with your child.

Question 4

are there GMO ingredients in this product?

Accepted Answer

I no longer have the bottle so I can not say for sure, I visited their website and could not find anything that said non-GMO.  I've always been happy with their products but right now I am experimenting with a different brand.  I did find this about allergens:Allergies: Contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy or wheat. Contains no sugar, starch, salt, preservatives, or artificial color, flavor, or fragrance.  Hope that helps some.
