Who GluteGuard helps
GluteGuard helps to support the maintenance of a gluten free diet for individuals living with gluten related disorders, such as:
- Coeliac disease
- Non-coeliac wheat/gluten sensitivity
- Dermatitis herpetiformis
While a strict gluten free diet remains the only treatment available for gluten-related disorders, avoiding gluten entirely can be challenging, and accidental gluten ingestion is a common occurrence.
How GluteGuard helps
GluteGuard breaks down gluten before it can cause symptoms.
- Taken before a meal, GluteGuard offers protection by breaking down hidden gluten before it interacts with the intestinal lining and triggers symptoms.
- Contains Caricain, a naturally-derived enzyme that targets the specific gluten peptides responsible for symptoms of gluten ingestion.
- Clinically trialled in individuals with coeliac disease1 and dermatitis herpetiformis2.
When to use GluteGuard
GluteGuard is recommended for use alongside a gluten free diet, in situations where there’s a risk of accidental gluten ingestion, such as:
Key things to remember
For those medically required to avoid gluten
GluteGuard is suitable for individuals with coeliac disease and other medically diagnosed gluten sensitivities when used alongside a gluten free diet.
Enzyme-based action
GluteGuard’s enzyme acts locally in the digestive tract and is not known to build up or interact with the body. Excess enzymes simply pass through the digestive system and are naturally excreted.
Taking before a meal
To help protect against symptoms of accidental gluten ingestion, GluteGuard’s enzymes must be present in the small intestine before food arrives. This ensures they’re ready to help break down any hidden gluten before it interacts with the intestinal lining and triggers symptoms.
Use on a regular basis
GluteGuard’s active ingredient is naturally derived from papaya and is suitable for regular use. With a maximum daily dose of 4 tablets, it can be taken before each meal in situations of ongoing risk, such as when travelling.
