You should try to drink about ½ cup of water with your Activate Plus digestive enzymes.

 It’s possible that your stomach acid and enzyme production may be so low that you actually need more than one capsule with each meal. If that’s the case, you will not feel any difference after taking one capsule. If you’ve tried taking one capsule with a few meals with no noticeable results, then you can try increasing it to two capsules for the next couple of meals. If your bloating, indigestion or heartburn improve, then you require a higher dose than the standard recommended dose, and that’s ok, too.

If you’re expecting to eat a much bigger plate of food than you usually eat, then we recommend you increase the dose of Activate Plus by one additional capsule beyond what you usually would take with a meal. Again, monitor your symptoms and make sure your response to the dose is as expected.

After you eat, food will feel like it sits more lightly in your stomach than it did before. The food will move easily from your stomach into your intestines, free of bloating or that post-meal coma. 

You’ll still feel normal fullness after a meal, but it will only last for about 20 to 30 minutes then dissipate, rather than feeling like the food sits in your stomach for hours, like it used to after big meals.  

As I discuss in this blog post, acid reflux is the opposite of what people think it is, and it shouldn’t keep you from being able to enjoy spicy foods. Contrary to popular belief, when you experience heartburn, you’re not producing enough stomach acid and enzymes to digest your food. So, Activate Plus replenishes those lost enzymes and acid, helping you digest your food better, which then actually prevents acid reflux. As a result, your heartburn will be markedly reduced or even gone within the first two weeks of taking Activate Plus. You may even be able to wean off of any damaging acid-blocking medications.

By the end of the first week (or less), you’ll start to feel an increase in your energy, as you digest protein better, providing your body with the amino acids needed to power every cellular process in your body. And by two weeks, you will feel even more energetic, as well as happier, as the nutrients your body is now absorbing better provide the building blocks for enzymes, tissue repair, and neurotransmitters like serotonin (your “happiness” molecule).
