DG Protect: Advanced Digestive Support for Gluten and Dairy Sensitivities

The Growing Challenge of Food Sensitivities

Food sensitivities are on the rise, particularly those linked to gluten and dairy products. For many individuals, these sensitivities can dramatically limit dietary choices and impact quality of life. Fortunately, advances in enzyme therapy now offer a science-backed solution to help support the digestion of these challenging food components.

Understanding Gluten Sensitivity

What Makes Gluten So Difficult to Digest?

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 present unique digestive challenges due to their proline-rich peptides. Unfortunately, these complex structures are notoriously difficult for the body to break down completely.

When gluten proteins remain undigested, they may prompt the body’s immune system to attack its own tissues, resulting in varying levels of gluten sensitivity. As a result, individuals experience symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to significant digestive distress.

Navigating Dairy Sensitivities

Lactose Intolerance: More Than Just Discomfort

Lactose is a carbohydrate found in dairy products that requires a specific enzyme—lactase (also known as beta-galactosidase)—to break it down into simple sugars. However, lactose malabsorption is a common condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough lactase enzyme to properly digest this milk sugar.

Often, this deficiency triggers a heightened immune response or causes gastrointestinal distress such as gas and bloating, a condition known as lactose intolerance.¹ Beyond lactose, dairy products also contain protein components that can pose additional challenges.

The Protein Problem: Casein and Whey

Casein and whey are the primary protein components found in milk and dairy products. While casein comprises many different proteins, whey typically consists of a mixture of beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin proteins. For those with sensitivities to these proteins, even lactose-free dairy products can trigger uncomfortable symptoms.

Clearly, individuals with sensitivities to gluten, lactose, and dairy proteins face extremely limited food selection. That’s where innovative enzyme solutions become essential, providing much-needed flexibility in food choices.

How DG Protect Works: A Comprehensive Solution

Targeted Enzyme Support for Better Digestion

The unique enzyme blend in DG Protect is specifically designed to break down gluten, lactose, and dairy proteins simultaneously. Rather than addressing just one sensitivity, this comprehensive formula supports the digestion of each food component for better absorption and maintenance of natural immune balance.

The Power of Dual-Action Enzymes

To effectively break down gluten proteins, DG Protect utilizes both endopeptidases and exopeptidases—a powerful combination that may help alleviate symptoms associated with gluten sensitivity. Unlike single-enzyme formulas, this dual approach efficiently degrades both the internal and terminal peptide bonds of the gluten molecule.

Specifically, the enzymatic action creates the correct endopeptidase cleavage pattern near the long-chain amino acids that need to be hydrolyzed by the exopeptidase. Consequently, this produces rapid degradation of gluten into smaller amino acids that may be more easily absorbed by the body.

The Science Behind DG Protect

Proven Effectiveness Through Clinical Research

In vitro gel electrophoresis studies have demonstrated the remarkable ability of Glutalytic™ to break down gluten quickly and efficiently under the physiological conditions of the body.² Impressively, in vitro testing has shown the capability of Glutalytic™ to degrade gliadin—the major immune-stimulating protein in gluten—into very small quantities within 90 minutes, the typical time it takes to reach the small intestine.

In addition, another in vitro study compared Glutalytic™ to other gluten digestive supplements and found that it was able to digest all but 4% of the gluten in a 90-minute window.³ Subsequently, Glutalytic™ was shown to have the capability to hydrolyze the majority of gluten proteins found in common foods over a similar time course.⁴

Furthermore, other studies have demonstrated the ability of endopeptidases to hydrolyze gluten and reduce gluten’s immunogenic peptides.⁵ Most importantly, gluten-digesting enzymes have the reported ability to effectively reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms.
