Description
DG Protect is a uniquely designed digestive enzyme targeted to help maintain healthy gluten and dairy digestion.
Clinical Applications
- Promotes Healthy Gluten and Dairy Digestion
- Supports Gastrointestinal Comfort and Function
- Relieves Bloating or Gas due to Gluten and Dairy Consumption
- Targeted Enzyme Support for Food Sensitivities
DG Protect includes both endopeptidase and exopeptidase activity chosen for their ability to hydrolyze gluten proteins, as well as a unique mixture of protease enzymes and lactase to assist the digestion of multiple constituents of dairy products. Food sensitivities are on the rise. They are often linked to gluten and dairy. Gluten consists of several different proteins found in wheat, barley, rye, and other grains. The two most prominent proteins found in gluten are gliadin and glutenin, which are difficult to digest due to their proline-rich peptides.
Suggested Use:
1 capsule before a meal or as recommended by your health care professional.
DG Protect Benefits
Endopeptidases and Exopeptidases Digest Gluten
The unique combination of endopeptidases and exopeptidases present in DG Protect efficiently degrade both the internal and terminal peptides bonds of the gluten molecule. Specifically, enzymatic action creates the correct endopeptidase cleavage pattern near the long chain amino acids that need to be hydrolyzed by the exopeptidase, producing rapid degradation of gluten. The resultant smaller amino acids may be more easily absorbed by the body.
Lactase Breaks Down Lactose
Studies have demonstrated the ability of the enzyme blend in DG Protect to break down the lactose present in dairy quickly and efficiently and degrade varying lactose loads as measured via hydrogen breath test, along reducing associated gastrointestinal symptoms.
Proteases Hydrolyze Dairy Proteins Including Casein and Whey Proteins
Protease enzymes in DG Protect support dairy protein digestion and absorption. Specifically, these enzymes hydrolyze milk proteins into smaller peptides that may be better absorbed by the body and less likely to bind to antibodies and illicit an immune response in sensitive individuals.
