🙏 Begin with prayer
Prayer is the first remedy, not the last resort. Here is a simple prayer you are welcome to make your own:
Father, thank You for the wisdom to support this body You made, down to the enzymes that help digest my food. I ask Your blessing on this small aid to my digestion, and for wisdom to use it well alongside a healthy diet. Where discomfort persists, give me discernment to seek a doctor's care, and I trust You above all for my health. In Jesus' name, Amen.
“For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:”— 1 Timothy 4:4 (KJV)

Why it works: These enzymes may help supplement the body's own digestive processes, though the evidence is strongest for people with diagnosed enzyme insufficiency rather than general use.
⚠️ Cautions
- Not a substitute for diagnosis if digestive discomfort is frequent, severe, or accompanied by weight loss — see a doctor.
- Enzyme supplements are often derived from pork (pancreatin) or fungal sources — check the label if you have allergies or dietary restrictions.
- May cause mild stomach upset in some people; discontinue if symptoms worsen.
- Not a treatment for celiac disease, ulcers, or gallbladder disease — these need medical care.
