Supports the digestion of gluten, wheat, and dairy proteins (such as casein, whey, and lactoglobulins)
Feature Summary
Natural Factors ReliefZyme Intensive Strength is a unique enzyme blend specifically developed to support the digestion of foods that contain gluten and dairy proteins. Sensitivities and intolerances to cereal grain proteins (such as gluten, which consists of glutenin and gliadin) and dairy proteins (such as casein, whey, and lactoglobulins) can be a result of reduced digestive enzyme function and can cause digestive disturbances, poor nutrient absorption, fatigue, and other discomforts. By helping the body break down these difficult-to-digest proteins, this intensive-strength formula can help alleviate symptoms, such as gas and bloating, resulting from gluten and dairy ingestion.
Each dose of ReliefZyme delivers a balanced and harmonious combination of naturally occurring enzymes – including 163 DPP-IV activity per capsule – to support the digestive process and promote healthy gastrointestinal function. Cereal grains and dairy products are known for their difficult-to-digest proteins, such as gluten and casein. But these culprits often sneak into other processed foods, such as coffee whitener, deli meats, bars, sauces, and salad dressings.
ReliefZyme is an excellent and effective adjunct to a prescribed gluten-free or dairy-free diet. While it is not a replacement for these diets, it is ideal for anyone who experiences digestive disturbances from occasional wheat, gluten, and/or dairy exposure and who has difficulty eliminating these foods from their diet, for example, when travelling or dining out.
