The Basics:

Many people have difficulty digesting gluten and casein proteins commonly found in carbohydrates, resulting in discomfort like occasional gas and bloating. Even those on gluten-free/casein-free diets may experience difficulties due to cross-contamination from offending foods.

This product is not intended to replace a gluten-free diet for individuals with Celiac Disease.

Thera-blend is an exclusive process that combines multiple strains of enzymes that work at various pH levels. Thera-blend enzymes have been shown to be three times stronger and work more than six times faster than leading digestive supplements.

The Science:
According to one U.S. survey, 1 in every 3 adults is reducing or avoiding gluten consumption.1 The study conducted over a three-year period shows a consistent increase in gluten-free popularity, which may suggest a high prevalence of gluten intolerance.

Although the popular solution for gluten and casein intolerance is following a gluten-free, casein-free diet, eliminating the offending proteins to reduce discomfort is only effective in the short term. Once those foods are reintroduced, symptoms return. As a complement to elimination diets, enzyme supplementation may assist and enhance the digestion of foods containing gluten and casein.

GlutenEase Extra Strength combines the Protease Thera-blend (G2) enzymes along with DPP-IV to provide more than double the digesting power for foods containing gluten and casein compared to GlutenEase. Proteases high in DPP-IV activity assist in encouraging healthy inflammatory responses to gluten and casein peptides, thereby better digesting and utilizing gluten and casein-containing foods.2 The amylase Thera-blend enzymes assist in the digestion of the carbohydrate portion of grains, such as wheat, which contains gluten, while the glucoamylase breaks down polysaccharides into glucose units.

Enzymedica does not use ingredients produced using biotechnology.
