For some, hidden gluten and casein can be the cause of occasional gas, bloating, and indigestion. However, the right digestive enzymes can make a difference when trying to support a gluten free and casein free lifestyle.*

Gluten and casein are found where you would never expect them, such as salad dressings, cold cuts and even toothpaste! Gluten Defense* features DPP IV (dipeptidyl peptidase) activity, from a protease enzyme specific to digestion of gluten and casein.*

Gluten Defense also includes a complete range of digestive enzymes.* Competing products only tackle gluten, while Gluten Defense helps you digest other proteins, fats and carbohydrates as well.*

Warning:
While Gluten Defense will reduce the level of reactive gliadin and gluten proteins in a meal, it is advised theat celiac disease sufferers continue with their normal gluten exclusion diet as even small amounts of gliadin can cause adverse reactions in the most sensitized individuals. If pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription drugs, consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use. Keep out of the reach of children.
