Enzymes do digestion. They are naturally occurring proteins that speed up reactions. Enzymes act like tiny scissors, cutting up the food we’ve eaten into smaller components. This helps our body more easily and fully absorb nutrients.
Without enough enzymes, our body can struggle to break down troublesome foods, leading to occasional gas, bloating, indigestion and irregularity. With all-natural enzyme supplementation, your body gets an extra boost to the digestive process, helping maximize energy and contributing to whole-body health. ^
What causes gluten and casein intolerance, and how can enzymes help?
If our bodies have difficulty digesting bread and grains, the root cause comes from a lack of the right enzymes in our guts. Enzymes are designed to break down a specific kind of food or compound, so the more or less we have of certain enzymes, the better or worse we can digest gluten and casein.
GlutenEase™ Extra Strength includes an enzyme that may be able to degrade dietary gluten. DPP-IV or dipeptidyl peptidase IV is a protease that breaks down many of the common components found in gluten protein. Proteases high in DPP-IV activity assist in digesting gluten and casein-containing foods.^
It also contains glucoamylase, an enzyme that breaks down polysaccharides into easier-to-digest glucose units.^ We include Amylase Thera-blend, enzymes that break down carbohydrates so your body can use them as energy.
Why take digestive enzyme supplements?
Digestive enzymes (like those in GlutenEase™ Extra Strength) are enzymes in your digestive system that help your body break down food into nutrients (and fuel). For many reasons, our bodies don’t always produce enough, which impacts digestion. Taking digestive enzyme supplements can help speed up your digestion, by giving your body what it needs to optimize it.^
Enzymes are present in the food we eat, but sometimes our diets don’t provide enough. How food is grown, processed and even cooked can have an impact on enzyme content. Age can also have a natural influence on enzyme production. Plus, certain foods or meals sometimes “disagree” with a person’s digestive system, so enzymes can offer support, acting like little scissors to help cut up the food and absorb the nutrients inside.^
For both gluten and casein intolerance, GlutenEase™ Extra Strength can help support your digestive happiness!^
