Gluten Guardian 4.0 Benefits

1. Ensures Digestion of Gluten and Casein

   Gluten is a family of proteins found in wheat, whereas casein makes up 80% of the protein found in dairy. These proteins are difficult to digest because they are high in the amino acids proline and glutamine, which our body's natural digestive enzymes don’t recognize. As a result, they’re likely to remain undigested which may lead to occasional gut discomfort.

   Gluten in particular can open the gut barrier through the zonulin pathway, exposing the content inside the gut to your immune system. In people predisposed for autoimmunity or allergies, the leaky gut from gluten may trigger or worsen the disease. Incomplete digested gluten fragments can also get absorbed into the bloodstream and create opioid-like effects.

   Most dairy in North America have A1 casein, which is a common food allergen. Incompletely digested casein fragments may have opioid-like activities, as mother nature designs milk to help babies bond with their mothers. However, beyond infancy, A1 casein is a strong gut irritant that can irritate and inflame the gut, and slow down gut movement by acting like opiates.

   Gluten and dairy can cause leaky gut, allowing the incomplete fragments to enter the bloodstream. Some people with compromised blood-brain barriers may experience the opiate effects from these foods. Not surprisingly, people with food addictions and emotional eating often turn to gluten and dairy. Studies suggest that some people with neurologic or mental health conditions may find their nervous system better balanced without gluten and dairy.

   If you are healthy and experience minor sensitivity with gluten and dairy, it is important to take a gluten-digesting enzyme to ensure that they are 100% digested if you do eat them.

   If you have sensitivity after after eating gluten, you may need to adopt a gluten free diet. However, a digestive enzyme supplement that targets gluten may help with minor exposures. Keep in mind, however, that Gluten Guardian 4.0 is not intended to treat or prevent any disease.

2. Enjoy Occasional High-Carb Refeed Meals and Treats Without the Bloat from Gluten and Dairy

   If you are on a restrictive diet or reaching a plateau with your weight loss program, a refeed meal allows you to enjoy your favorite foods and jumpstarts your metabolism. Even if you’re not dieting, you can enjoy your favorite treats with ease.

   The common problem is that eating a lot of carbs, sugar, and gluten may cause digestive upsets and inflammation. Therefore, it is important to supplement with digestive enzyme supplements targeting gluten and carbohydrates. Gluten Guardian 4.0 is designed to ensure that your digestion is optimal and helps lessen digestive upset from these refeed meals or treats.

3. Take Advantage of Your Cheat Meal for Muscle Building

   Your cheat or refeed meals are a way to spike your hormones to get glucose and amino acids into your muscle cells and replenish your glycogen stores. If you do the refeed right, you will experience better workout during the first few days after your refeed.

   Also, some people use holiday meals and social events as refeeds to maximize muscle gain, fuel their workouts, and minimize fat gain. In order to maximize muscle building and minimize inflammation, your protein digestion and absorption have to be optimal.

   Gluten Guardian 4.0 can help ensure optimal digestion, minimize undigested gluten and casein, and promote a balanced immune response to food.

4. Reduces Post-Meal Fatigue and Brain Fog

   Being tired and brain-fogged after meals are signs that your gut is working hard to digest your meals. A meal should simply take away your hunger, not put you to sleep. Gluten Guardian 4.0 digestive enzymes help break down the difficult-to-digest gluten and casein, and also provides overall support for your digestive system. As a result, you will feel both satiated and energized after your meals.

5. Helps With Gluten and Dairy Exposures

   Gluten Guardian 4.0, can significantly reduce more gluten peptides than either enzyme alone .

   Gluten Guardian 4.0 is not intended to treat any conditions and individual responses may vary widely. Remember to work with your healthcare professional to decide what’s best for you.

6. Helps With Leaky Gut and Food Sensitivities

   Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, allows partially digested foods and bacterial toxins to reach the bloodstream and stimulate the immune system. Many people with leaky gut develop food sensitivities and allergies, gluten and dairy products being two of the most common culprits.

   Optimizing your overall digestion and ensuring that gluten and casein are completely digested can support your gut barrier health. These may also help mitigate food sensitivities.

How Does Gluten Guardian 4.0 Work?

Gluten Guardian 4.0 supports digestive function, especially for high-carb meals. It contains full-spectrum protein digestive enzymes specifically designed to target gluten, casein, and carbohydrates.

The most important enzyme in Gluten Guardian 4.0 is Peptidase DPP-IV, a potent gluten-digesting enzyme. It can also digest casein, a hard to digest protein that makes up 80% of the proteins in milk and dairy products. Therefore, Gluten Guardian 4.0 helps you fully break down gluten and casein into amino acids that your body can use. By fully digesting them, the enzyme helps minimize immune responses to incompletely digested gluten and casein.

When To Take Gluten Digestive Enzymes?

Take Gluten Guardian 4.0 with meals that contain gluten, dairy, or any high-carbohydrate meals.

Gluten Guardian 4.0 can also be taken on an empty stomach to harness the benefits of systemic protein-digesting enzymes. These include promoting exercise recovery, breaking down inflammatory proteins and scar tissues, and wound healing.
