Can children take digestive enzymes? If yes, what kind of dosage?
Although none of our health supplements is specifically recommended for children, many people do use the digestive enzymes with their children, with their pediatrician’s approval and guidance, with good results. In most cases, pediatricians have recommended one capsule per meal. The dosage for digestive enzymes isn’t really age dependent or size dependent; it’s meal size dependent. The more food you eat at one sitting, the more help you need. Since children eat less per meal, they need less of the digestive enzymes per meal. As always, check with your pediatrician before using.
