Feature Summary
Digest-ProGD HP is a proprietary enzyme blend for comprehensive carbohydrate digestive support.* It includes fungal proteases derived from Aspergillus oryzae, bacterial protease derived from Bacillus subtilis, and comprehensive carbohydrate digestive support from papain, bromelain, and fungal digestive enzymes.* Aspergillus oryzae extracts are sources of prolyl endopeptidases and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) – a multifunctional serine protease suitable for proline-containing peptides, such as those found in gliadin and casein, both typically proteolytically resistant proteins.*1–4
Protease activity from Aspergillus oryzae supports normal protease activity at the proline-rich 33-mer of gliadin.*5 The proline-rich proteins found in gluten are thought to facilitate a cellular debris-generating response in individuals with gluten sensitivity or for whom gluten is problematic, often because of accidental gluten exposure, even for those on a gluten-free diet.*6 According to animal studies, supplementation with protease from Aspergillus oryzae may support a bifidogenic effect, maintaining normal bifidobacteria in the intestines as well as supporting healthy gut-protective amino acids.*7,8
In addition to fungal and bacterial proteases, Digest-ProGD HP includes alpha-amylase, cellulose, and hemicellulose for comprehensive carbohydrate digestion support.*
