Glutenzym contains a combination of digestive enzymes that aid in the digestion of gluten.
This large protein is contained in many cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, kamut or even spelled. It is therefore an integral part of our basic diet. It is found in particular in bread and pasta but also in pizzas, pastries, sauces and preserves. Gluten is almost systematically added to prepared meals to improve their appearance. Gluten gives the kneaded dough its elasticity and ensures the chewiness of baked cereal products.
Synthesized by the digestive system, digestive enzymes allow the splitting of complex molecules into simple molecules that can be assimilated by the body. They are produced in the saliva, stomach and pancreas.
Each enzyme acts on a specific substrate, so we have identified three types:
- proteolytic enzymes that operate on proteins.
- glucolytic enzymes that operate on carbohydrates.
- lipolytic enzymes which operate on lipids.
Digestive enzymes usually have a name ending in "ASE", depending on the molecule they are transforming. For example, proteases digest proteins, lipases digest lipids, amylases digest starch.
The enzymes present in Ortho Glutenzym:
- protease: enzyme which cuts the peptide bonds of proteins. They are also called: peptidase or proteolytic enzyme.
- aminopeptidase: class of proteases which catalyzes the cleavage of amino acids by cutting between the first amino acid and the second amino acid in the chain and therefore releases the N-terminal amino acid.
Take 1 to 2 capsules per day, before or during each meal which may contain or contain gluten.
For one capsule: 100 mg of proteases (500 U DPP-IV, 30,000 HUT and 8.5 APU). Bulking agent: microcrystalline cellulose. Anti-caking agents: magnesium stearate, colloidal silica. Capsule: hypromellose.
Box of 90 capsules.
