Thanks for asking about this, BMonad, and I'm glad to hear digestive enzymes have helped solve some GI discomfort you had been experiencing! Please keep in mind, our bodies naturally produce fewer digestive enzymes as we age. As of now, there isn't research to suggest that taking digestive enzyme supplements causes your body to stop producing these enzymes on its own or "adapt", as you said. Usually, aging, and in particular, menopause, causes changes in our body that impact digestive enzyme production. The other thing to consider is why you need these enzymes. Are you allergic or intolerant to 1 or 2 specific things? It may be worth looking into in which case I'd encourage reducing the intake of those items or only using digestive enzymes before consuming those foods.
