| Protease |
| Description: Protease is the group of enzymes responsible for breaking down proteins during digestion. These enzymes are important to digestion because they break down the peptide bonds in protein foods to make the included amino acids available for use by the body. Protease has long been used for many types of therapy, including treatment of inflammatory conditions, blood rheology control, and immune regulation. Protease inhibitors are a currently popular drug class for treatment of HIV. Enzyme therapy is the most effective way to naturally combat food allergies. Since some allergies are caused by the body’s inability to process specific foods, the addition of the digestive enzymes needed for these foods may help ease symptoms.1 Protease and Lactase (for protein and lactose intolerances, respectively) are the most widely recommended of these. Useful in treatment of: food allergies. Recommended Dosage: Not established. Contraindications: Should not be taken by HIV patients without consulting a medical care provider.
