Protease enzymes are responsible for breaking down proteins into amino acids and are involved in various bodily functions, such as cell division, blood clotting, and immune responses.
For individuals with gastric issues, it's recommended to start with Gastro with Enzymes until symptoms improve. Taking protease enzymes during gastric discomfort may lead to a burning sensation.
To optimize the effectiveness of protease enzymes in combating protein-based threats in the bloodstream, they should be consumed on an empty stomach. If taken with food, they will focus on digesting that food instead.
However, if you’re eating red meat, you can take protease enzymes alongside digestive enzymes during the meal to aid in protein breakdown.
Children can also take protease enzymes by opening the capsules and mixing the powder with a non-protein liquid or a small amount of apple juice.
Protease enzymes can dissolve protein-based organisms like parasites, fungi, and bacteria. They also break down viruses, which have a protein coating, as well as cellular debris, undigested proteins, and toxins in the bloodstream, thereby easing the burden on the immune system.

Allergies: Some people may be allergic to specific protease enzymes, especially those derived from animal or plant sources. It’s essential to check for potential allergens.
Medication Interactions: Protease enzymes may interact with certain medications, such as anticoagulants or medications affecting digestion. Consult a healthcare provider before combining them with other treatments.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: There is limited research on the safety of protease enzymes during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It's best to consult a healthcare professional before use.
Dosage: Taking excessive amounts can lead to digestive discomfort or upset stomach. Always follow the recommended dosage guidelines.
Underlying Health Conditions: People with certain health conditions, such as pancreatitis or liver disease, should seek medical advice before using protease enzymes.
