Going gluten free? You should know about Swanson Ultra Gluten Rid with Tolerase® G, the natural 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. The sad fact is, even for those who adhere to a strict gluten-free diet, the average intake of hidden gluten adds up to roughly 500 mg per day. That’s what Gluten Rid is for.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. Adopting a gluten-free diet is an important step in reducing this burden, but as gluten-sensitive individuals know all too well, it’s virtually impossible to avoid gluten and its constituent proteins completely. Now you can help your body cope with this “hidden gluten” burden, with Gluten Rid with Tolerase G.Tolerase® G prolyl endopeptidase is a natural 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. It’s a safe, natural way to give your digestive system the ability to break down gluten efficiently, by giving it the enzymatic power it lacks. And we mean power! Tolerase® G prolyl peptidase delivers an incredible 580,000 PPI of enzymatic activity per gram, making it far more effective than competing products at breaking down the hidden gluten that slips through in supposedly "gluten-free" foods.
