GluteZym®
With the endopeptidase Tolerase® G - a gluten-degrading enzyme
Gluten is a protein which is naturally found in a number of cereals such as wheat, triticale, barley, rye and oats. It is composed of two sub-proteins, glutenin and gliadin, and is used to impart viscosity and ductility to the dough during processing. It also stabilizes the shape of the final product.
Gluten proteins are difficult to digest as they contain many proline residues that are poorly digested by our body's own enzymes. The enzyme Aspergillus Niger Prolyl Endopeptidase (Tolerase® G), which is derived from a special strain of the food fungus Aspergillus Niger, specifically targets proline residues and can efficiently break down gluten into small fragments. Conventional DPP-IV enzymes only separate the terminal peptide bonds of the gluten proteins. Thus, the AN-PEP enzyme is much more efficient as it cleaves all the gluten protein into small fragments that are easier to digest. The enzyme is active under low-pH stomach conditions (3.5-5.5) and is resistant to digestion by pepsin. This makes it ideal for use in digestive enzyme preparations.
In addition to Tolerase® G, Biogena contains GluteZym® Calcium, which contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes and vitamin B2, which supports the mucous membranes.
Physiological functions of the contained substance:
• Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes
• Vitamin B2 contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification. The quality-tested raw materials come from premium brand raw material manufacturers - sourced directly from the world market leaders.
