Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 BIOSET is a decent company. The products may not be used, however, to go off the GFCF diet, if that is your goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Our DAN dr. has recommended using the BIOSET brand. Has anyone else used them? How different are they from the Houston's? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 >>>the BIOSET brand. Has anyone else used them? How different are they from the Houston's? I looked these up and they look like reasonably good plant-based enzymes. They have a good variety of the usual enzymes for most foods. The main thing is that they don't have quite the potency of the Houston or Thropps brand per capsule. I checked the label and it did give 1 dose as 1 capsule. So you might need to take 2 capsules per meal to equal 1 capsule of the Houston Zyme Prime or Thropps Ultra-zyme. Other than that you would need to just try a bottle of each brand and see which you like best. Now the Peptizyde and No-Fenol from Houstons are quite different. Peptizyde works on proteins but has a special blend that targets casein and gluten proteins. Most other brands do not. If casein and gluten are a particular need, then I don't think you could substitute for the Peptizyde....especially if you want to use enzymes instead of a GFCF diet. If you just want some enzymes to use with a strict GFCF diet, then it wouldn't really matter. No-Fenol is really unique. It targets yeast and fibrous foods. This seems to be most helpful for those with colon problems (such as irritable bowel and similar colon disorders, or bacteria overgrowth). My husband and younger son have IBS and love No-Fenol. My older son and I do not have IBS or notable colon problems. We didn't see any effect from No-Fenol at all. So if you have a need for this special blend, you might really benefit. If not, you most likely won't miss it. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Bioset enzymes are good for what they digest. They don't help with gluten and casein. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
