Gluten Defense*
Helps digest wheat and dairy* Why are gluten and casein a concern Because some individuals experience digestive discomfort when they eat foods with these proteins - even when they try to avoid obvious sources: For some, gluten and casein can be the cause of occasional gas, bloating, and indigestion. However, the right digestive enzymes can make a difference when trying to support a gluten free and casein free lifestyle.* Why take Gluten Defense Gluten Defense is specifically formulated to defend against gluten*: Gluten and casein are found where you'd never expect them - salad dressings, cold cuts - even toothpaste! Gluten Defense features DPP IV (dipeptidyl peptidase) activity, from a protease enzyme specific to digestion of gluten and casein.* Gluten Defense also includes a complete range of digestive enzymes* Competing products only tackle gluten - Gluten Defense helps you digest other proteins, fats and carbohydrates as well.*
