PRO3 Protease Capsules give you a blend of protein digesting enzymes from fungal sources, with stated activity and DPP-IV, the enzyme that handles the proteins in gluten and dairy. Each capsule provides 550mg of the protease blend and you take four at the start of a meal, which is 2,200mg. One pot holds 120 capsules, which is 30 servings. Benefits of taking PRO3 Proteases break protein into the amino acids the body absorbs. The proteins in gluten and casein are the ones many people find hardest to break down, which is why the blend includes DPP-IV activity. People take it before a meal where those proteins are hard to avoid. Protein gets broken down by three proteases with their activity stated in units. Gluten and dairy proteins get the DPP-IV activity that acts on them. Capsules can be opened and the powder mixed into food if you find them hard to swallow. Two capsules cover an ordinary meal, while four cover one with gluten or dairy. Who benefits PRO3 Protease Capsules are most useful for: People who have been advised a protease blend rather than a full digestive enzyme. Anyone eating out who cannot fully avoid gluten or dairy and wants the DPP-IV cover for that meal. Those who already take Enzymase Digestive Enzyme Capsules and want extra protein digestion on top. What is in it Each capsule provides 550mg of a protease blend from Aspergillus fungal sources, with a total proteolytic activity of 11,000 HUT units per gram and 350 DPP-IV units per gram. The other ingredients are maltodextrin and the vegetable capsule shell. Proteolytic enzymes and protein digesting enzymes are other names for it. How to take it Take four capsules at the start of a meal, just before eating, so the enzymes are in the stomach when the food arrives. For an ordinary meal without gluten or dairy, two capsules may be enough. The capsules can be swallowed whole or pulled apart and the powder mixed into the food. Diet and allergens The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts. Anyone under 16 should not take them. Quality The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free. Common questions PRO3, serrapeptase or a full digestive enzyme? PRO3 is proteases only, taken at the start of a meal, with stated DPP-IV activity. A full digestive enzyme such as Enzymase covers protein, fat and carbohydrate together and suits general use. Serrapeptase is a single protease usually taken between meals rather than with food. Choose PRO3 if you have been advised a protease blend specifically. How many capsules should I take? Four at the start of a meal, which gives 2,200mg of the blend and the full DPP-IV cover. Two is often enough for a meal without gluten or dairy. When is the best time to take PRO3? Take it immediately before eating. The enzymes need to be in the stomach when the food arrives, so after the meal is too late. Can I take it with other supplements? Yes. It is often taken at the same meal as Enzymase Digestive Enzyme Capsules for the broad blend plus extra protein digestion, with Combocillus Probiotic Capsules before breakfast. Is PRO3 a probiotic? No. It is an enzyme blend, not live bacteria, so it needs no fridge and is taken with food rather than on an empty stomach. Why capsules rather than tablets? A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it needs none of the binders or coating that hold a tablet together.
