N-Zymarase® Gluten

Which enzyme product is right for which need?

The N-Zymarase products differ primarily in terms of when they should be taken and the specific focus of their formulation. While N-Zymarase Complex and N-Zymarase Intest are designed to support digestion after a meal, N-Zymarase Fructose and N-Zymarase Gluten complement these products for specific needs. N-Zymarase Inflam holds a special place within the product family.

Which is a classic digestive enzyme product to take with a meal?

For a classic digestive enzyme complex, the following three enzymes form a good foundation:

• Bromelain for breaking down proteins
• Papain to support protein digestion
• Lipase for breaking down dietary fats

All three enzymes are included in the following products. Here’s a quick overview of the differences:

• N-Zymarase Complex - 16 enzymes plus betaine HCl - an exceptionally broad spectrum of enzymes for the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
• N-Zymarase Intest - 8 enzymes - comprehensive digestive support with a focus on fat digestion
• Bromelain 1200 - 3 enzymes - focuses on highly active bromelain

When are N-Zymarase Gluten and N-Zymarase Fructose recommended?

N-Zymarase Fructose is a specialized product for meals where fructose is the primary focus. It contains the enzyme glucose isomerase, which converts fructose into glucose, supplemented by L-glutamine, vitamins B7 and B9, and zinc, among other ingredients; therefore, it does not replace a broad-spectrum digestive enzyme complex but rather specifically complements it.
Depending on the composition of the meal, N-Zymarase Fructose can be combined with N-Zymarase Complex or N-Zymarase Intest.

N-Zymarase Gluten is designed to enzymatically break down gluten-containing components of a meal, featuring the specific digestive enzyme “Tolerase G” for breaking down gluten, as well as fennel, caraway, and ginger. This product is not a substitute for a gluten-free diet in cases of diagnosed celiac disease.
If needed, N-Zymarase Gluten can be taken with a meal in combination with N-Zymarase Complex or N-Zymarase Intest.

How does N-Zymarase Inflam differ from digestive enzymes?

N-Zymarase Inflam is not designed as a traditional digestive enzyme complex to be taken with meals. In addition to bromelain and papain, it contains the specific enzymes trypsin and rutin. It is recommended to take N-Zymarase Inflam between meals, as this allows the enzymes to be distributed more effectively throughout the body.

NatuGena’s enzyme supplements for the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, gluten, lactose, and other dietary challenges—for a healthy gut!

• N-Zymarase Complex: 16 enzymes plus betaine HCl—for a particularly broad spectrum of enzymes to take with meals.
• N-Zymarase Intest: 8 digestive enzymes—compact support for the digestion of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.
• Bromelain 1200: Bromelain, papain, and lipase—with a focus on highly active bromelain.
• N-Zymarase Fructose: a targeted supplement for meals containing fructose.
• N-Zymarase Gluten: with Tolerase® G for the enzymatic breakdown of gluten. Not suitable for people with celiac disease.
• N-Zymarase Inflam: bromelain, papain, trypsin, and rutin—not a traditional digestive enzyme; take between meals.

Each enzyme has its own optimal units of measurement. The enzymatic activity of bromelain, for example, is expressed in GDU (Gelatin Digesting Units). This corresponds to the ability to digest gelatin under controlled experimental conditions.

Another example is provided by the so-called HUT units (Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine base) of the enzyme protease. These units measure the amount of enzyme required to digest a specific amount of tyrosine-releasing peptide bonds from a hemoglobin-containing substrate under standardized conditions.

To provide you with the most meaningful information possible regarding the individual enzymatic activities, the units of measurement for each enzyme may differ from one another.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to convert enzyme units into other units, as they are determined experimentally.

No. N-Zymarase Gluten is not a substitute for a low-gluten or gluten-free diet. It is intended as a supplementary aid for people with gluten sensitivity when small amounts of gluten cannot be reliably avoided—for example, while on vacation or in breading. The product is not suitable for people diagnosed with celiac disease; a strictly gluten-free diet remains necessary.
