Summary
Natural Factors Gluten Relief is a proprietary enzyme blend used to help digest proteins. Sensitivities to gluten and dairy proteins can result in digestive discomfort. This non-GMO digestive aid features key proteolytic enzymes, such as fermentation-derived proteases, serratiopeptidase, bromelain, and papain, with added support from enzymes that help reduce gas production following a meal rich in fermentable carbohydrates. It comes in convenient vegetarian capsules and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
