Introduction

Protease is a vital digestive enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary proteins into amino acids. Without sufficient protease, proteins ferment in the gut, leading to bloating, inflammation, and poor nutrient absorption.

What Is Protease?

• Produced in stomach & pancreas
• Breaks protein into peptides & amino acids
• Includes pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin

How Protease Works in the Body

• Improves amino acid absorption
• Reduces protein fermentation
• Supports tissue repair
• Regulates immune complexes

Protein Digestion & Gut Comfort

• Reduces heaviness after protein meals
• Prevents gas & bloating
• Supports gut lining repair

Inflammation & Immune Support

• Breaks down inflammatory protein debris
• Supports immune balance
• Reduces food-reactivity stress

Muscle Recovery & Aging

• Improves protein utilization
• Supports muscle repair
• Important for elderly & athletes

Signs of Low Protease

• Bloating after protein
• Muscle weakness
• Food sensitivities
• Poor recovery

Who Benefits Most?

• High-protein diets
• Elderly individuals
• Gut inflammation
• Muscle loss

Natural Sources

• Papaya (papain)
• Pineapple (bromelain)
• Fermented foods

Supplement Forms

Dosage & Timing

• 10,000–50,000 HUT per meal
• Take with meals

Results Timeline

• Immediate digestion relief
• 2–3 weeks muscle & gut benefits

Final Thoughts

Protease is essential for protein digestion, immune balance, and muscle health. Supplementation is especially valuable in aging, high-protein diets, and digestive weakness.
