IBS? Irritable Bowel Syndrome? How can it be good for IBS if it gives you diarrhea? Capsules, powder, both the same.

I have found the powder more palatable than pills and more effective. I also feel it is no more expensive.

Magnesium Citrate is such a laxative that it is dosed before a colon exam! Versus this Magnesium Glycinate, easiest gastrointestinal Mag & this lower-priced & pure bulk form w/o bad additives/fillers often in pre-encapsulated. You can drink or put into capsules yourself (PureCaps on Amazon best). If you prefer flavored, Vitacost's Kirkman Buffered Mag.Gly tastes good w/o bad additives/fillers & is comparably priced :)

Peppermint is an ingredient commonly used to treat symptoms of IBS specially stomach spasms. The difference might be that these pills are labeled specially for IBS, but other than that not much difference because other peppermint pills would be the same because they both have the key ingredient which is peppermint. I do believe that these are stronger because they gave me a lot of acid reflux so probably the regular peppermint pills might be more natural. Hope this helps.

I ordered it to help my bowel activity. I didn't follow the directions exactly, since I wasn't aiming for a cleanse, but rather a ju,p start. The probiotics worked for me, as I chose to add it (in less than the recommended dose) to protein powder that I was mixing with other ingredients to a drink. Hopes this helps.

I just swallow them and dont taste them. I take half the recommended dose (one pill rather than 2) because I am small (103 lbs). This works for me. I dont like the powder either but folks who drink smoothies seem to think it is good. I prefer taking the Spirulina with my morning drink along with my vitamins. It sits better in the stomach when consumed in conjunction with food.

Not that I have found. After using this for awhile, maybe I didn't use as much, don't know, but I had to switch to glucosamine capsules, which I could only find on Amazon. When I first started using this powder, I literally felt a spring in my step like my pups did, but lately I've been using the capsules. Great product though. Regular customer and highly recommended for me and all animals. (I can't prescribe for people as I am not a doctor, but I can attest that it worked on me.)

The pills are smaller than average, the problem i had is with the dpp4 products like gluten ease and digest spectrum, the other products are my everyday choice like digest, because I've noticed that too much protease bothers my stomach. Regarding size i thinkdigest spectrum are easier than average.Hope this helps

I think you absorb the glutamine the same regardless of the form it's in, but tablets will have some fillers in them to get them in tablet form and capsules will have the extra ingredients needed for the capsules. I prefer just mixing the pure glutamine powder in my water bottle, since it's flavorless.

Yes I am pretty sure this is ferrous gluconate as opposed to ferrous sulfate as they are a lot more tolerable. I've tried both and the ferrous sulfate tablets caused more discomfort. The Nature Made brand didn't cause any stomach discomfort to me.

inulin is more likely to improve bowel functioning than it is to cause constipation (but some say constipation can be a side effect). all other things being equal (assuming general good health), constipation will probably NOT be a problem. possibly a good chance you might encounter gas, bloating and flatulence (which might diminish with time). i use inulin (a prebiotic), probiotics (various strains) and beta glucan 1,3/1,6 and a low dose of lipitor which has gotten my blood lipids way, way down (lipitor alone had only a modest benefit).if you have concerns about the use of supplements, you should consult with a physician (hopefully one who is knowledgeable about supplements, otherwise you may not get useful information). good luck and happy bowel movements to you.

For me the capsules are the way to go. The powder has a terrible taste to it. I can swallow five capsules with water and find that it works just as well. It is an easy way to supplement your fibre.

I'm not familar with PepSinGl but I've taken different herbs, vitamins,etc. at lunch time after taking 2 mastic gum caps before breakfast and have not had a bad reaction. I found for me that I had to take 2 mastic gum caps because it worked out better for me.

I have not done a scientific research, but the product has different products that help to digest proteins, and since casein and gluten are proteins, I would say to give them a try. (If you are not allergic of course. If that's the case you should ask your doctor before). I have troubles digesting meat for example and they are helping me very well. My daughter has some trouble digesting dairy and the product work well for her also.

Benjamin, Info directly from Now. Here is a nice explanation of liposomal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liposomal It is a way to help support absorption of some products. We use it in some of our products: http://www.nowfoods.com/Vitamin-B-12-Liposomal-Spray-2oz.htm http://www.nowfoods.com/Vitamin-D-3-and-K-2-Liposomal-Spray-2oz.htm But do not offer one with glutathione, and it does add cost to the product so formulated. But Glutathione as found in our Glutathione 250mg and 500mg products can be absorbed despite its large tripeptide structure. Here are a couple studies showing Glutathione absorption: Stimulation of glutathione absorption in rat small intestine by alpha-adrenergic agonists. Hagen TM, Bai C, Jones DP. FASEB J. 1991 Sep;5(12):2721-7. Fate of dietary glutathione: disposition in the gastrointestinal tract. Hagen TM, Wierzbicka GT, Bowman BB, Aw TY, Jones DP. Am J Physiol. 1990 Oct;259(4 Pt 1):G530-5. Bioavailability of dietary glutathione: effect on plasma concentration. Hagen TM, Wierzbicka GT, Sillau AH, Bowman BB, Jones DP. Am J Physiol. 1990 Oct;259(4 Pt 1):G524-9. In addition a recent study from our supplier also confirms absorption. Cysteine is a small better absorbed rate limiting amino in Glutathione synthesis and available for those who might continue to be worried about Glutathione's possible poor absorption: http://www.nowfoods.com/Products/ProductsbyCategory/Category/M011370.htm?cat=Amino%20Acids Thank you for your inquiry, NOW Product Information Group Information in this response refers to product labeled for sale in the USA unless otherwise indicated. Best answer I can give you. My body seems to be responding well to the product.

I haven't had peapure. Effect chronic pain...? none.. it's a protein powder, not a painkiller. It digests way better than whey, no smelly farts and stuff like. This product has nothing to do with pain though. I recommend Nature's Path over this brand though. This brand of pea protein is probably the worst I've had.
