i might be odd but i take 10 a day, yes its expensive but i really feel good doing it, i take 3 with breakfast since i take my fish oil then, 1 with each of my 3 snacks and 2 with my two other meals. I take future formulation forte, but may try the renew life ultra since it seems the digest gold is quite expensive. I know some people who take 25 enzymes a day with and without food, when they are on an empty stomach they help fight inflammation ini the body.
