Gluten Digestive Enzymes

Gluten Digestive Enzymes is a digestive enzyme supplement by Flourish Pharmacy & Nutrition. It pairs a broad blend of protein and starch enzymes, including DPP IV, with a probiotic and two prebiotic fibers. The formula is designed to support the digestion of gluten, casein, and starch in everyday meals.

What sets it apart is breadth: nine enzymes working on protein, starch, and plant fiber, built to stay active across a wide pH range. That means support in both the stomach and the small intestine. Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14, larch arabinogalactan, and FOS round it out, all in a vegetarian capsule.

• Gluten protein breakdown: Proteases and DPP IV help break gluten proteins down into smaller pieces.
• Dairy protein support: The protease blend also supports the digestion of casein, the main protein in milk.
• Starch digestion: Three amylase-type enzymes help break down starch, which gives the proteases better access to gluten.
• Intestinal flora: A probiotic plus prebiotic fibers support a healthy balance of friendly bacteria.
• Works where you digest: Enzymes chosen to stay active from the acidic stomach through the small intestine.

What is in Gluten Digestive Enzymes

The enzyme blend totals 850 mg [VERIFY: per serving of 2 capsules, or per capsule].

Acid-stable protease (Aspergillus oryzae/niger), 75,000 HUT: A protein-digesting enzyme sourced from fungal fermentation. It is built to keep working in the acidic environment of the stomach.

Protease FCC (Aspergillus oryzae/niger), 120,000 HUT: A second fungal protease that helps break dietary proteins into smaller units. It carries the largest activity level in the blend.

Protease FCC (Bacillus subtilis), 20,000 PC: A protease produced by a beneficial bacterial strain. It adds to the formula's protein-digesting range.

Protease USP (Carica papaya), 15,000 USP: Papain, the protein-digesting enzyme found in papaya. It supports the breakdown of dietary protein.

Protease USP (Ananas comosus), 600 GDU: Bromelain, the protein-digesting enzyme from pineapple. It adds a plant-sourced protease to the blend.

Amylase I FCC (Aspergillus oryzae), 5,000 DU: An enzyme that begins breaking starch into smaller sugar chains. It supports carbohydrate digestion from grains and starchy foods.

Amylase II FCC (Bacillus subtilis), 6,150 BAU: A second amylase from a bacterial source. It extends the formula's starch-digesting activity.

Glucoamylase FCC (Aspergillus niger), 15.5 AGU: An enzyme that works on starch fragments, releasing glucose. It completes the starch-digesting trio.

Cellulase FCC (Trichoderma reesei), 520 CU: An enzyme that acts on cellulose, the structural fiber in plant foods. It supports the digestion of vegetables and grains.

FloraFit™ Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14, 3 mg (500 million CFU): A well-characterized probiotic strain. It supports a healthy population of friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract.

Larch arabinogalactan (FiberAid®), 10 mg: A prebiotic fiber from the larch tree. It helps nourish beneficial gut bacteria.

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), 10 mg: A plant-derived prebiotic fiber. It works alongside arabinogalactan to support friendly bacteria.

Other ingredients: vegetarian capsule (modified cellulose, water), cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica. The manufacturer states it contains no sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial flavors, and that its enzymes come from non-GMO sources.

Common questions

Is a gluten enzyme the same as Gluten Digestive Enzymes?

Yes: many people search for this product as a gluten enzyme, gluten digestive enzyme, gluten digesting enzymes, or gluten digestion enzymes. Some look for it by its key enzyme, DPP IV (also written DPP-IV or DPP 4). All of those point to the same formula.

How do I take Gluten Digestive Enzymes?

Adults take 2 vegetarian capsules about 10 to 15 minutes before a meal, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Questions about timing or dose? Call 405-751-3333 to speak with a pharmacist.
