| Response from Dr. Young
 When drugs circulate in the blood, often, a large proportion of the drug is bound to circulating proteins. However, it is the free (unbound) protein that has chemical activity. The use of supplemental dietary proteolytic enzymes should have no effect on the level of proteins in the blood, and hence no effect on drugs that are protein bound. BY | ||||||||
