Description: GluteGuard is a tablet designed to break down the harmful parts of gluten before they cause symptoms. It contains caricain which is a unique enzyme derived naturally from the skin of the unripe papaya fruit. When these enzymes are released in the small intestine, they target gluten peptides to break them down into harmless fragments. These fragments pass through the digestive system, without triggering symptoms. Uses: Helps to reduce occurrence of symptoms of gluten sensitivity. Helps to support gluten digestion as an adjunct to a gluten-free diet. Directions / Recommended Adult Dosage (19 Years and Older): Take 1 tablet (whole) orally before each meal where gluten could be present or as recommended by your healthcare professional. Maximum daily dose should not exceed 4 tablets.
