Digest-ProGD HP is an advanced enzyme blend designed for thorough carbohydrate digestion, featuring potent components for optimal effectiveness. Derived from Aspergillus oryzae, the blend includes fungal proteases, bacterial protease from Bacillus subtilis, and comprehensive carbohydrate digestive Aid from papain, bromelain, and fungal digestive enzymes. Aspergillus oryzae extracts, known for their abundance in prolyl endopeptidases and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), offer a multifunctional serine protease targeting proline-containing peptides. This is particularly relevant for proteins like gliadin and casein, known for their proteolytic resistance.

The protease activity from Aspergillus oryzae specifically targets the immunotoxic proline-rich 33-mer of gliadin, a peptide implicated in inflammatory responses associated with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Even individuals on a gluten-free Nutrition Plan may experience inadvertent gluten exposure triggering such responses. Notably, supplementation with Aspergillus oryzae protease has been associated with a bifidogenic effect in animals, suggesting potential probiotic benefits, along with an increase in gut-protective amino acids.

In addition to fungal and bacterial proteases, Digest-ProGD HP offers alpha-amylase, cellulose, and hemicellulose activity, providing comprehensive Aid for carbohydrate digestion.
