SpectraZyme Gluten Digest, featuring Tolerase G, is a targeted protease enzyme supplement that has been clinically shown to help digest gluten in humans as well as in gastrointestinal and in vitro models. This formula helps promote the breakdown of gluten proteins in the stomach, which may help support healthy digestion of gluten. Human studies also indicate that SpectraZyme may help break down gluten proteins before they reach the small intestine, a key consideration in healthy digestion.* What are enzymes? Enzymes are biological catalysts essential for the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in order to facilitate absorption by the body; in other words, enzymes are essential for healthy digestion. A variety of enzymes is required to digest food and assimilate nutrients; how well we digest any particular food is dependent on the quantities and types of enzymes the body produces. Enzyme secretion generally declines with age, and genetics can negatively influence digestive enzyme production as well. Digestive enzyme supplementation can be helpful to support healthy digestion.*
