general FAQ's

Most of our products are suitable for children ages 2 and up. With young children we recommend opening the capsule and take the powder with a drink for example. Our products once-a-day and cozidase are recommended from age 4 and up. Our lactase drops are suitable for all ages, so also for babies.

Almost all our products are suitable for vegans, except for the products: once-a-day (only vegetarian), DAO plus and DAO mini.

The products are safe to use daily, even in the long run. The digestive enzymes perform their function in the small intestine and leave the body by the natural way. Thus, no harmful effects or side effects can occur. However, stick to the recommended maximum daily dosage of the respective product.

Our supplements contain a specific enzyme as an active ingredient. Enzymes all have their own unique function and work according to the lock and key principle. For the lactase enzyme, this is, for example, the breakdown of the carbohydrate lactose. The lactase enzyme fits like a key on the lock of the carbohydrate lactose, and can split lactose into glucose and galactose in this way. Because enzymes only have one specific function, they cannot have any other effects in the body. In addition, enzymes cannot pass through the intestinal wall, so it will only be active in the intestines and leaves the body through the natural route. For these reasons, our supplements are safe to use among pregnant and breastfeeding women.

When you can't swallow the whole capsule, you can always open the capsule and just take the enzyme powder, that's no problem at all. Just be sure you do not spread the powder over your hot food (like hot soup), because then the enzymes can become ineffective.

It is important that the enzymes from the capsules enter the stomach/intestines simultaneously with the food. That is why we recommend taking the capsules just before or with the first bite of the meal. This way, the enzymes end up in the intestines at the same time as the food, mixing well with the food so that all the food can be digested properly. We say the enzymes are effective for approximately 45 minutes after taking the supplement, because if you consume any food after that 45 minutes, the enzymes will have already passed further and will not mix well with the food and therefore will not be effective. And you will need enough of the enzymes to digest alle the food properly. So it is important that the enzymes reach the intestines as much as possible at the same time as the food. If you want to take any fructose longer than 45 minutes after taking the capsule(s), we recommend taking one or more capsules.
