You know I'm glad you brought up the subject of enteric coated.
I've been noticing a LOT lately that a lot of supps that should (I thought) have been enteric coated (or possibly sublingual) are often not at all.
Eg there is a LOT of SAMe as part of a powder mix..or in a capsule?All the current digestive enzymes (pancreatic type) are just in a capsule...like the ones that are supposed to be released into the small intestine , not the stomach.
I had a chat to a couple of health food stores about this , but they assure me that the capsules release the enzymes at the right places...taught that in their naturopathy course, sigh...(well according to them)
Also talked to the manufacturers who assure me they work in the intestines and stomach.
I used to be able to..over 10 years ago, buy an enteric coated digestive enzyme tablet...no longer possible a far as I can find in Oz.
the same with P5P..I keep on mentioning brands that are enteric coated..as most are not..Now am I missing something?
Is it possible for a capsule (like a normal looking capsule) not to break down until the intestines?
I give up with the powder...and no..no little hard coated pellets etc. inside the capsules, just plain powderJan
PS with the digestive enzymes it gets even more intersting as they usually mix the stomach enzymes with the intestine enzymes and ASSURE me that each type is released just at the right place...
