GlutenEase vs. GlutenEase Extra Strength: Which is Right for You?

Feeling like gluten is getting in the way of your digestive happiness? Found in grains like wheat, barley and rye, gluten is one tough protein – for some people more than others. Challenging ingredients can be more work for your digestion, but enzymes are made for this exact job.  

The enzymes in GlutenEase® help break down gluten, with a blend of Protease Thera-blend®   for proteins, DPP-IV specifically for gluten, plus a duo of hard-working enzymes for carbs, too.*^ But with two different GlutenEase® formulas, you might be wondering what the difference is. (The TLDR? The difference comes down to protease potency and where that protease gets to work breaking down proteins.)

Important reminder: GlutenEase® formulas are not intended to replace a gluten-free diet and are not suitable for people with celiac disease or a wheat allergy. Enzymes do not make gluten-containing foods safe for these individuals.

Read on for a full breakdown of both formulas – and learn which GlutenEase formula you should choose.* 

Meet DPP-IV: The Gluten-Focused Specialist

DPP-IV is a protease enzyme that targets gluten and casein, a dairy protein. It works especially well in the more neutral environment of the small intestine, helping continue protein digestion after food leaves the stomach.* Both GlutenEase formulas deliver the same 1,000 DPP-IV activity units, so you get this targeted support no matter which you choose.

Why Protease Thera-blend® G2 Changes the Game

Here’s where Extra Strength earns its name. Standard GlutenEase® provides a powerful 95,000 HUT of Protease Thera-blend®. Extra Strength steps up to 150,000 HUT and features Protease Thera-blend® G2, which is designed to excel in the acidic environment of the stomach as well as farther along the digestive tract.* 

That earlier start matters: G2 begins helping break down gluten and casein in the stomach, before passing the baton to DPP-IV to continue the job in the small intestine.* 

Pick Your Gluten Support Personality

Choose GlutenEase® if you:

• want potent, everyday support for occasional gas, bloating or irregularity associated with foods that contain gluten.*
• generally avoid gluten but want to enjoy an occasional treat.*
• reliably know and love the OG formula.*

Choose GlutenEase® Extra Strength if you:

• experience more significant digestive sensitivity to gluten-containing foods.*
• want the highest level of support to digest gluten.*
• carefully follow a gluten-free lifestyle and want added digestive support when dining out or when ingredients are uncertain.* 
  

Want Support for the Rest of the Meal, Too?*

Both formulas include the same amylase and glucoamylase activity to help digest carbohydrates.* For even broader support across proteins, fats, carbs and fiber, pair your chosen GlutenEase® formula with Digest Spectrum®. It’s formulated for complex meals with multiple food intolerances – like lactose, FODMAPs, phenols and more.
