Hmmm,....well, yes, our bods can produce the enzymes on their own! BUT, if you eat lots of raw veg then the enzymes from the veg stop your body from needing to produce so many enzymes...which can be considered a stressor on the body. That's why raw veg is so good for people (but not IBS! ). So in taking extra enzymes, the idea is that you're doing the job raw veg would and relieving your body of a stress. Anyway, that's the theory. Plus, sometimes people just can't produce enough of one enzyme, eg. lactase.
I'm on 2T Acacia and do pretty well at that dose. Sometimes take more if I'm iffy. Remember that even after you get to the significant dose, it can take a while to feel the benefits, so give it a good chance.
