Protein First Enzymes

Formerly Belly Rescue™

As you get older, your body stops making optimal amounts of digestive enzymes to break down carbohydrates, fat, and especially protein. Other conditions, including chronic stress, can also inhibit the body’s production of digestive enzymes. That’s where Protein First Enzymes can help.

Using Protein First Enzymes before every meal is optimal for people who experience gas and bloating after eating, occasional constipation, or a feeling of fullness after eating only a small quantity of food. This powerhouse formula works for anyone who needs digestive support to help break down and absorb food.*

Protein First Enzymes contains ingredients that support the breakdown and assimilation of the food you eat:

    1. GastroENZ™, a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes: 
      • Lipases, proteases, and amylases, which aid in the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates (respectively)
      • Pepsin and peptidases that also break down protein 
      • The special protease dipeptidyl peptidase IV (IVDPP), which aids in the breakdown of the peptides gluteomorphin (from gluten) and casomorphin (from casein).
      • Glucoamylase to break down starch (including gluten)
      • Lactase to digest lactose
      • Invertase (breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose)
      • Lipase to digest fats and fat-soluble vitamins
      • Ox bile to provides bile acids, which are key to the digestion of fat and fat-soluble vitamins

  1. Betaine HCl provides hydrochloric acid, also known as stomach acid. It helps: 
    • Support proper stomach acidity to begin the breakdown of proteins
    • Helps convert pepsinogen into its active form, pepsin
    • Trigger the secretion of enzymes that help digest fats, carbohydrates, and proteins
    • Break down nutrients
    • Protect against harmful organisms to support a healthy gut
  • Synergistic formula supports the optimal breakdown of carbohydrates, fat, and protein. *
  • Comprehensive blend of enzymes to break down protein, including pepsin, proteases, betaine HCl, and the special protease dipeptidyl peptidase IV (IVDPP), which aids in the breakdown of the peptides gluteomorphin (from gluten) and casomorphin (from casein).*
  • May be helpful for patients who experience gas and bloating after eating, occasional constipation, or a feeling of fullness after eating only a small quantity of food.*
  • Digestive enzymes to support protein, fat, and carbohydrate digestion.*
  • Betaine HCl to convert pepsinogen into pepsin for optimal protein digestion and nutrient absorption.*
  • Ox bile to supports fat emulsification.*
  • May aid in the breakdown of the peptides gluteomorphin (from gluten), casomorphin (from casein), soymorphin (from soy), lactase (to break down the dairy sugar lactose).*
  • Betaine HCl (200 mg)
  • GastroENZ™ Proprietary Blend (Ox Bile Extract, Peptidase (DPPIV), Amylases, Pepsin, Proteases, Glucoamylase, Lactase, Invertase, Lipase) (180 mg)
Take 1 capsule per day before each meal or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Nutrients

IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE THAT COUNTS

Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) is an excellent source of hydrochloric acid, also known as stomach acid. Betaine HCl helps to support proper stomach acidity, as adequate HCl is necessary to begin the breakdown of proteins and to trigger the secretion of enzymes that help digest fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Betaine HCl can also support the absorption of certain nutrients and protects against bacteria and other microorganisms by destroying harmful pathogens to support a balanced microbiome.*

This proprietary blend of digestive enzymes includes lipases, proteases, and amylases to support the breakdown of fats, proteins, and starches, respectively. This blend also includes pepsin and proteases to break down protein and amylases, respectively, and glucoamylase to break down carbohydrates, lactase to digest lactose, and lipase to digest fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Ox bile extract provides bile acids to support the digestion of fat and fat-soluble vitamins. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) is a special enzyme that aids in the breakdown of hard-to-digest proteins in wheat, soy, and milk.*

Q: When should I take Protein First Enzymes?

A: Take 1-2 capsules before each meal.

Q: What's the difference between Protein First Enzymes and DefendZyme?

A: Protein First Enzymes is a full-spectrum digestive enzyme that breaks down carbs, protein, and fat as well as problematic ingredients such as gluten and dairy.*

DefendZyme, on the other hand, provides digestive support compounds to minimize the adverse effects from the occasional consumption of gluten, dairy, soy, and egg proteins in individuals who have sensitivities to these foods. DefendZyme may also curb the detrimental effects of consuming excessive amounts of starchy foods and sucrose.*
