Can proteases be dangerous?
• Used appropriately, these enzymes pose no danger to the consumer. The biggest problem with enzymes is the inhalation of enzyme dust, or getting large quantities on one’s skin, which, in both circumstances can cause irritation, itching, and discomfort. Those in enzyme manufacturing where large amounts of enzyme powder may be contacted need to take measures to limit skin contact and inhalation of enzyme dust. This is why we add MCT oil to some of our products. MCT oil keeps the powder from becoming air-born. With any supplement, one should start with a small amount just in case an allergic reaction occurs. ALWAYS ASK FOR SAMPLES OF PRODUCTS FIRST, AS MANY COMPANIES WON’T REFUND IF YOU FIND OUT YOU ARE ALLERGIC.
