SerenAid®
Specialized digestive enzyme blend specific for gluten, casein, and other small proteins†
Benefits and Features
A proprietary blend of microbial enzymes, SerenAid® is specifically formulated to assist in breaking down a broad range of plant and animal proteins, including casein (milk and dairy products), gluten (wheat, rye, oats, barley, and other grains), and soy proteins. The inclusion of Exorphinase® differentiates SerenAid® from other digestive enzyme formulas. This proprietary, high-activity enzyme blend of peptidase and protease with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity can assist in hydrolyzing small protein peptides, including casomorphins and gluteomorphins that can adversely affect the central nervous system in some individuals.† The enzymes in this formulation are pH-stable, demonstrating activity over a wide range of pH conditions (pH of 2 to 12).
SerenAid® Attributes
- First fungal-based enzyme formulation to offer dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity formulated to support the unique proteolytic needs of children on the spectrum†
- High serine proteinase DPP-IV activity, to cleave the post-proline bonds and prolyl bonds near the N-terminus of proteins and peptides†
- Post-proline and prolyl bond cleavage supports proteolysis of casein, gluten, and their exorphin peptides, casomorphins, and gluteomorphins†
- Proprietary, patented‡‡ combination of peptidase and protease enzymes with DPP-IV activity to support hydrolysis of exorphin (opiate-acting) peptides†
- ‡‡US Patents 6,808,708, 6,821,514, 6,251,391, 6,447,772.
Detail Overview
Highly active microbial enzymes including DPP-IV to help digest a wide range of plant and animal proteins, including casein, gluten, soy, and others that may affect the central nervous system in some people when not completely broken down.†
