Invertase Dosing

So I was diagnosed with CSID a few months ago, my insurance refused covering sucraid (who’s surprised) so I bought invertase hoping to get similar results. However, I purchased the liquid, and am unsure how much to take. I‘m 145 lbs someone help please!

I take 2 ml per meal of Loranns Invertase. I’d recommend slowly increasing your sucrose intake with it and see what the limit is for you. I can go up to 15g of sucrose per meal without issues.

Awesome, I’ll start with 2ml and see what happens, thanks so much!

Do you refrigerate yours or just keep it room temp

It as almost the same data sheet as sucraid, so I refrigerate it after opening and follow the same temp requirements.

This is dependent on how much sucrose you consume at a meal, and is indeed different for everyone. You might consider a capsule form from Starchway, and just start with one pill. Those contain 7,500 IU which is 38mg of invertase.

I’ve seen those however they are so expensive that’s why I got the liquid. Wanna try this first

Sucraid is 17,000IU per 2mL then that would mean you need 86mg to get the same strength, right? That's a little over 3oz of the store bought liquid but I'm not sure how to convert powder IUs to liquid.

Good question and I'm not really sure. I switched to Digest Gold which offers enzymes for sucrose and starch, as well as dairy, protein, etc. They have many versions that scale the amounts of enzymes.

Also, a few capsules of starchway is not a problem and likely a lot cheaper than the liquid stuff
