Yes, I took systemic enzymes for quite awhile (about a year). For me, it didn't help my tinnitus. It is supposed to work well for tinnitus that is caused by inflammation. You could to give it a try to see if it works for you. If you do, I hope you'll report back to us to let us know how it...

You might be able to find a good price for the systemic enzymes online. I-Herb has a lot of specials, and sometimes free shipping if your order is over a certain amount. Good luck! I'd love to hear that they worked for you!!

Hi, @nogood, Just saw your message. Yes, I tried systemic enzymes for many months, after reading up on them. I was very hopeful that they would reduce my tinnitus. However, at least in my case, I didn't notice any real difference. One of the most popular brands is called Wobenzym, and they...

Yes, me, too. I've been trying all sorts of supplements, vitamins, etc., in the hope that something will work! I think it would be hard to go through the TRT process, too. I haven't tried it yet; trying other things first. I'm having a pretty good tinnitus day today; I don't know why...

Actually, so am I! I'd like to be able to throw caution to the winds a little bit again, wouldn't you? This tinnitus thing certainly makes spontaneity a lot harder!!

Louise, The reason I'm patient is that I've had bad reactions to prescription drugs, and I'm really very gun-shy!! I'll never take another blood pressure drug in my life, that's for sure. Anyway, even with natural supplements, I feel that the best course is to proceed slowly. I hope the...

Cookie --- are you doing any better today than yesterday? It might just have been that it was a little bit too much for your system, too soon! I worked up to 6 tablets daily (3 tablets, 2x per day) by taking first one a day, then two, and so on. Can you believe that, for tinnitus, the doctor...

Yes, Louise, you are correct. The Wobenzyme site says that often, the T gets worse before it gets better. That happened to me, too, when I first began taking systemic enzymes. Cookie -- how many per day are you taking? You could start slowly and build up to the 10 tabs, twice per day...

Louise, You're right. It seems to take awhile to reap the benefits of systemic enzymes, but that is true of any of the natural supplements. The Medizym I'm taking is very similar in formula to the Wobenzyme, but costs less. The bottle says to take 3 tablets twice a day, so that's what I've...

Louise, I didn't know that, either! I stopped taking Vitalzym a while back, and have been taking Medizym (6 tablets per day). It hasn't cured my tinnitus, but I think it's one of the things that helps keep it a bit calmer.

Cookie --- I don't think Calin is still taking the systemic enzymes. I'm still taking them; I take up to 8 per day. The tinnitus is still there, but it is calmer. At least I can sleep more now. Before, I had insomnia due to pulsating/ringing every night. The systemic enzymes agree with...

To both of you: I think it is magnesium chloride that makes the difference. I was taking magnesium citrate (in the form of Natural Calm powder) before, and it didn't seem to do anything for my tinnitus. But the magnesium chloride seems to absorb better, and has a calming effect. Or, at...

Well, maybe we've started something! Just taking the magnesium might make a difference for most T sufferers. At least, it's worth a try. I've just ordered some magnesium oil -- I'm going to try using it, and will report back on that, as well.

Well, I'd say that I'm feeling cautiously hopeful! I say that because this has been going on for so long, that I'm always kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Right now, the tinnitus isn't so bad. I believe it has taken the edge off. I can still hear the pulsating and ringing, but...

Thanks, Calin --- Spraying a couple of times a day sounds good, and not to difficult to remember to do! I've been taking so many supplements, etc.,that I use a checklist each day. Have cut back on some of the supplements, though, and am only using the ones I think are really working. I...

I read the latest info you posted about magnesium. Sounds like it does many good things. I'll keep taking my magnesium chloride tablets, but am curious about the magnesium chloride spray, since it absorbs so much quicker. Do you think that has made a difference in the level of your...

That's good! The fact that yours is so low is very encouraging to me. I think the systemic enzymes and magnesium are a good combination. Today, mine is noticeably lower -- and that includes the pulsating. It's still there, of course, but seems softer and farther away. I will keep taking 3...

Mine is lower today, too. I did some research, and found (on the Wobenzym site) a comment by the doctor that it is actually good to have a flareup of tinnitus while taking these enzymes. That shows the enzymes are working on the body's systems, is doing something positive. So, I remain...

Hi, everyone --- Well, I've been on the VitalZym systemic enzymes for 8 days now. I've had no real side effects or problems --- except that this evening something has made my tinnitus worse than usual. As of yesterday, I upped my enzyme dose from 2 capsules to 3 capsules per day. My...

So far, no. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

I'm glad you're feeling better! Flu-like symptoms may have been a side effect of the Vitalzym, since your body may be detoxing pretty fast. That makes sense about the gas build-up, since it does work on the intestines. It sounds like the way you're taking the capsules (3 at a time, twice a...

Yes, how have you been doing that? Are you taking more than one capsule at a time? I'm taking them at intervals: One at 10:30 A.M., and one at 2:30 P.M. I think I'll stick with that for awhile. Do you think that your flu-like reaction had anything to do with the enzymes, or with some of...

I've just begun taking VitalZym systemic enzymes --- starting very slowly, to see how it affects me. For the first two days, I took only 1 capsule per day. Now, I'm up to 2 capsules per day. Will gradually increase to 3 per day, if possible. I'll report again on my progress.

I'm going to try it! I've certainly tried a lot of other things. Just ordered 60 capsules; will start slowly and report back on how it's going.

The above info about pulsatile tinnitus really resonates with me. One of my doctors suggested venous hum, but told me I'd probably have to "live with it" (which I refuse to accept!). I have conductive hearing loss, plus an underactive thyroid, plus my problem started after ups and downs with...

Thanks for all the info, Calin! Sounds like this will probably help your knee issues and fibro issues, too. I'm still thinking about and digesting all this; it could be a very good thing. I've read a lot of the user reviews of this product this evening, and it sounds like most people like it.

Yes, that's what I would probably do, too. Starting with 3 capsules sounds like the prudent approach. What I read about this systemic enzyme so far, in the way of side effects, is that it would be considered a blood thinner, and you have to be careful if you're taking any other types of...

Thanks, Calin! I'm going to read up on this; I like to check out any possible interactions, since I'm taking so many other things already. They're not cheap, but I've heard, too, that inflammation in the body can be a cause of tinnitus. How many capsules do you take per day?

Hi, Calin, My naturopath has me taking some enzymes that contain the following: Pancreatin, protease, lipase, alpha amylase, amyloglucosidase, cellulase, hemicellulase, lactase, gelatin, calcium sulfate anhydrouse, stearic acid, silica, and magnesium stearate. These are considered...
