About Glutagen

Glutagen is a biopharmaceutical company based in Melbourne, Australia, focused on providing clinically-relevant and scientific evidence-based complementary medicines to support the health and wellbeing of individuals with gluten-related issues. Glutagen’s holistic approach to personalised health involves the provision of the highest quality products, including its innovative enzyme supplement, GluteGuard®.

At Glutagen, our mission is to help everyone who experiences gluten digestion issues. We understand the significant impact gluten can have on quality of life and how challenging it can be to maintain a gluten-free diet. This underpins our commitment to providing the highest quality complementary medicines for supporting a gluten-free diet in those with diagnosed gluten sensitivities.

For decades, our team has contributed to the global scientific effort to better understand gluten digestion. In 2001, the year Glutagen was established, our scientists discovered that caricain, a natural enzyme found in the oleoresin of papaya fruit (Carica papaya), can break down gluten peptides into smaller, harmless fragments.

Glutagen has transformed this scientific discovery into GluteGuard, a unique consumer product supported by clinical studies to complement the gluten-free diet. GluteGuard uses the natural digestive power of caricain to help minimise the incidence of symptoms caused by gluten contamination.

As a fully Australian-owned and operated company, we are proud to support health and wellbeing through the provision of dietary supplements developed and manufactured in Australia to the highest global quality standards: Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

Glutagen’s ongoing investment in research and product development will help ensure today’s scientific and clinical advances can benefit gluten-sensitive and gluten-intolerant individuals in the future.
