Natural Factors Intensive Strength ReliefZyme is a unique enzyme blend that supports the digestive process and the breakdown of foods containing gluten, wheat, and dairy proteins. This comprehensive digestive aid can be taken with meals to help break down food and support nutrient absorption. Improved digestion helps reduce gas, bloating, and other complications that are associated with food sensitivities.
Natural Factors Intensive Strength ReliefZyme 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 synergistic 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. It is however not a replacement for these diets, and is ideal for anyone who experiences digestive disturbances from wheat, gluten, and/or dairy and who has difficulty eliminating these foods from their diet, for example when travelling or dining out.
