Gluten Relief

Gluten Relief is specially formulated to support the digestion of gluten, casein and other offending proteins hidden in today’s modern foods. This formula contains 5 different Protease enzymes. Protease enzymes can be used to help periodontal disease, such as gingivitis.

Gluten Relief contains DPP-IV (dipeptidyl peptidase IV), an enzyme complex which specifically breaks down gluten and casein.
Our formula includes five additional proteases, each with a specific and unique digesting activity that complements DPP-IV for complete protein degradation. Amylases, lactase and lipase complete Gluten Relief for overall digestive ease.

Preventing Periodontal Disease:
Brushing, Flossing, and Enzymes

An estimated 80% of Americans currently have some form of periodontal disease, such as gingivitis, and as we age, we are more susceptible to the serious complications of periodontal disease, such as tooth loss and jaw osteonecrosis (death of the bone).

Preventing and Healing Periodontal Disease

For most of our lives, we have been told to brush and floss our teeth daily to prevent cavities and gum disease. But another useful preventive measure can be the addition of Protease enzymes both as a supplement and as a topical treatment. Gluten Relief has 5 different Protease Enzymes:

Protease I, Protease II, Protease III, Protease IV, Protease V

Periodontal diseases result from microbial colonization and growth on tooth surfaces and their supportive tissues. The food debris trapped between the teeth and in other areas causes the oral flora to grow faster and produce more organic acids that cause tooth decay and injury to the gums. Oral supplemental enzymes help control those conditions by hydrolyzing (breaking down) food debris in the mouth, thereby removing the nutrients that serve to support the "bad" bacteria. Another way the enzymes help is by preventing the bacteria from attaching themselves to the tooth surfaces. When bacteria are not attached to teeth, they are easily washed away by the saliva, thereby unable to destroy the teeth, the gum line, or other structures. Additionally, the enzymes help heal sores and cuts in the mouth that otherwise may serve as gates for bacteria into the body, which could cause more serious infections.

Incorporating Enzymes into an Oral Hygiene Routine with Gluten Relief

Along with regular brushing and flossing, Gluten Relief can help support good dental health. There are two ways to incorporate Protease enzymes into your routine: Dissolving the enzymes in water (or just letting the capsule dissolve in your mouth) and swishing in the mouth to help break down food particles and taking them internally to help promote overall immune system function. When a Gluten Relief solution is swished in the mouth after eating, the protease enzymes have the advantage of being able to reach areas of the mouth that can be missed by brushing.

The simple persistence of food residues in the mouth is the major factor that causes periodontal disease and over a period of time, this disease could lead to more systemic problems as well. A daily routine of brushing, flossing and intake of Protease enzymes both topically (swishing) and internally (supplements) can lead to both a healthy smile and a strong set of teeth that can chew food and ensure we get the proper nutrition needed to keep our body healthy.

Instructions for Swishing:
Open one capsule of Gluten Relief and place into glass. Fill glass with 1/4 cup of pure water and stir. Place a small amount in mouth and swish around. Repeat several times. One can then also use a toothbrush to brush the liquid on teeth and gums.

The Problem of Gluten and Casein in Foods

Gluten digestion is challenging for many people. A significant portion of the population suffers from gluten intolerance, and some struggle with more severe conditions.

Celiac disease is a chronic digestive disorder characterized by an extreme sensitivity and allergic reaction to foods containing gluten, requiring individuals with the disease to follow a strict dieting regiment devoid of gluten-containing products.

Disorders such as ADD/ADHD and autism have also been linked to improper digestion of gluten and casein. Some say the cognitive and social behaviors associated with these disorders may be influenced by gluten and casein proteins.

Gluten is a starch-protein present in most grains and processed foods. Similarly, casein is a protein found in most dairy products which can be difficult to digest, causing discomfort.

Gluten and casein intolerances have been primarily treated through maintaining a Gluten-free and/or casein-free (GFCF) diet. However, trace amounts of these proteins can be found in many foods, making avoidance nearly impossible and allowing problems to persist. Foods with hidden gluten can be a serious problem for unsuspecting and discerning gluten-free dieters.

The underlying issue for people suffering from gluten and casein intolerance is their body’s inherent enzymes do not have the capacity to digest the offending substances. Incomplete digestion of these proteins damages the villi of the intestinal tract, causes inflammation and creates digestive discomfort. The villi of the small intestine are the site of most nutrient absorption and any damage to them can result in mal-absorption and nutrient deficiencies.

Scientists theorize that humans still have not caught up genetically with the introduction of grains to the diet that began nearly 10,000 years ago. Fortunately, advances in biotechnology are striving to bridge that gap.
