Gluten Rid with Tolerase G

Going gluten free? You should know about Swanson Ultra Gluten Rid with Tolerase® G, the enzymatic supplement that helps your digestive system deal with the gluten that gets through. If you’re in the growing number of health-conscious individuals who are avoiding dietary gluten, you know how difficult it can be.

Gluten is a composite of two proteins, gliadin and glutenin, found in wheat and related grains. While most dietary proteins are broken down in the stomach by digestive enzymes, the human body lacks the enzymes necessary to break down gliadin and glutenin completely. Thus some amino acid chains, or peptides, remain intact after gastric digestion, proceeding to the small intestine intact, which can place an uncomfortable burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

Tolerase® G prolyl endopeptidase is an enzyme that works in the acidic environment of the stomach to cleave gluten's peptide bonds, breaking them down into individual amino acids that can be comfortably absorbed through the intestinal wall. Tolerase® G prolyl peptidase delivers an incredible 580,000 PPI of enzymatic activity per gram, making it far more effective than competing products.
