Gluten Intolerance

More About Gluten Intolerant Products

Gluten intolerance is often mistaken for a food allergy, when in fact it is a condition that is tied to your gut health. When gluten proteins don’t digest correctly, they stay in your intestines instead of passing through the digestive system. This may cause your body to see these proteins as foreign invaders, so it results in an irritated gut and the flattening of the microvilli (cellular membrane protrusions that are involved in nutrient absorption, secretion, and cellular adhesion). This also causes negative effects on digestive system and gut health, and may affect the optimal functioning of your body.

Because gluten intolerance is characterized by your body’s inability to absorb nutrients, you may have to be more careful about the foods and nutrients you are putting in your body. There are a number of substitutes that you can make in your daily diet to support gut health and that do not contain gluten.

Our selection of gluten intolerant products include products with digestive enzymes like protease, lipase, cellulase, and amylase. These enzymes work to break down gluten proteins and other complex substances into smaller building blocks in the body to support absorption and digestive system health. Many of these products also contain probiotics, which are microorganisms that live in the gut and support digestive system health by promoting a healthy balance of intestinal flora.
