Will drinking enzyme before bedtime at night cause weight gain?

Generally speaking, whether drinking enzyme before bedtime at night will cause weight gain depends on the type of enzyme, the amount consumed, and the total daily calorie intake. If you choose sugar-free or low-sugar enzymes, control the serving size, and stay within your daily total calorie limit, weight gain is unlikely. However, if you consume high-sugar enzymes, drink excessive amounts, or have already exceeded your daily calorie needs, weight gain may occur.

If you choose sugar-free or low-sugar enzymes, keep each serving within the recommended amount, and have already controlled your total calorie intake throughout the day so that it does not exceed your body's needs, then these low-calorie enzymes are unlikely to cause calorie accumulation when taken before bed, thus avoiding weight gain. Additionally, the dietary fiber in such enzymes may help promote intestinal motility.

However, if the enzyme contains large amounts of added sugars such as sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup, its calorie content is inherently high; or if you do not control the amount consumed, exceeding the recommended serving; or if you have already consumed excessive calories during the day—even if the enzyme itself is low in calories—the total calorie intake may still exceed your daily requirement. Excess calories will be converted into fat and stored in the body, potentially leading to weight gain over time. Moreover, high sugar content may also negatively affect sleep quality at night.

When drinking enzyme before bedtime at night, it is advisable to prioritize sugar-free or low-sugar products, strictly follow the recommended dosage, and combine this with overall daily dietary management to control total calorie intake.
