How much enzyme does everyone take? I know the recommended range and I know that everyone is different but I would love to know what other people are doing. I take 5 MS 8's and weigh 120 pounds.

I take 4 ECS 20s with meals and one with snacks. I am about 95lbs. but enzymes don't depend on how much you weigh, it depends on how much enzymes your body can produce or not. And how much your own body needs. Like it depends on your poop and how your body feels.Julie

I take 3 Pancrease MT20s with meals, and weigh about 72-73 pounds.Julie-- you are partially correct, but weight does play a factor in enzyme dosages. When a person is very pancreatic insufficient, there is a maximum dosage of enzymes allowed based on the weight of the patient. I think the sanction was put into place because of colonic strictures due to overdosage of enzymes. I only know this because when I was younger, my enzyme dosage was reduced when the sanction was put into place.
