Product Overview:

Houston Enzyme's AFP Peptizyde Advanced Formula Protease Multi-Enzyme for Digestion is a high DPP IV enzyme that does not contain fruit-based enzymes such as papain or bromelain. Working only on breaking down food proteins, rather than carbohydrates, fats and other compounds, the plant-based enzymes act to break down proteins while they are still in the stomach, which ensures more thorough digestion of proteins before they get to the GI tract and alleviates the potential for further food intolerances. Choose from capsules or chewable tablets.

How Do You Know if You Need an Enzyme Product?
Certain foods can be problematic for people to ingest. Whereas a food intolerance is observed through nausea, irritation, tiredness, or a rash that occurs, a food allergy is a more life-threatening problem. For food intolerances, simply taking a digestive enzyme can break down the food and provide relief. By first identifying the specific food that you are intolerant of and coupling it with the appropriate enzyme that breaks down the food, you can vastly improve life.

AFP-Peptizyde Ingredients
½ Peptidase: A naturally occurring enzyme in the body that helps digest protein. This enzyme breaks apart the amino acid chains of proteins. It's important that amino acid chains are broken down because protein enters the body this way.
½ DPP IV: Dipeptidyl Peptidase -4 is another enzyme that the body needs. DPP IV is activated in immune function and in the metabolism of glucose.
½ Proteases 4.5 and 6: Important components of the digestive system because they help separate peptide bonds in proteins.

What is so Special about AFP Peptizyde?
AFP Peptizydes only break down consumed proteins, rather than other ingested foods and supplements. This means that the enzymes will not affect the absorption of medications or other supplements taken. Because only proteins are affected, there is less likely of a chance that other food intolerances will occur.

Even in an overly acidic condition, AFP Peptizydes work. Because the enzyme is formulated to survive in stomachs with low pH's, the proteins casein and gluten are able to be hydrolyzed before they become a problem in the small intestine.

Ideal for Gluten-Free and Casein-Free Diets
Those who are gluten and casein free find that they don't have to be as strict with their diets. When supplementing with AFP-Peptizyde, food is better assimilated and nutrition is better absorbed, which reduces the need to supplement with vitamins and minerals.

How AFP Peptizyde Helps Autism
AFP Peptizyde helps completely digest gluten and casein proteins commonly found in wheat and dairy products. Many experts believe that those with autism do not digest these proteins completely, creating opiate-like molecules from wheat and dairy products during digestion. These opiates then leak through the intestines and into the blood, finding their way to the brain and flooding the brain with opiates that interfere with proper neurological development. To break down gluten and casein molecules in order to prevent this flooding of the brain with harmful opiates, Peptizyde can be taken.

AFP Peptizyde Denatures Harmful Protein Allergens
Proteins with high amounts of proline amino acids, like gluten, are difficult to digest with human digestive enzymes alone. By supplementing with acid-stable enzymes such as AFP Peptizyde, food proteins can be better digested, increasing the bioavailability of food nutrients in the body. With these additional nutrients, healthy probiotic gut flora is better able to flourish and unhealthy digestive side effects such as fermentation, gas and bloating are reduced.

AFP Peptizyde Contains No Fruit Base
No fruit-derived ingredients, such as bromelain or papain, are found in AFP Peptizyde. These ingredients commonly cause problems for those who are allergic to pineapple or latex.

AFP Peptizyde Advanced Formula Protease Multi-Enzyme for Digestion Dosage
No upper limits have been established for enzyme dosing. Animal studies with similar enzymes have found no toxicity at dosing as high as 2000 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day for 90 days. Each person is different, so Houston Enzymes encourages some experimentation to find the dose that best helps that person.

AFP Peptizyde Capsules
Most find that using 1 to 2 AFP Peptizyde capsules per meal is adequate, and most likely no further benefits will occur with higher dosing, though more can be given for the infrequent and large food challenges.

Other ingredients found in AFP Peptizyde Capsules: Rice bran version: rice bran. Or, Cellulose Version: Cellulose/MCT Oil. THe rice bran version will be discontinued soon. The capsule is composed of vegetable cellulose and water.

No added sugar, starch, dairy, soy, wheat, yeast, gluten, nuts, artificial flavors, or animal derivatives.

AFP-Peptizyde Chewable
Most find that using 2 to 6 AFP Peptizyde Chewables per meal adequate. It is most likely that no further benefits will occur at higher dosing, but for infrequent and large food challenges, more can be given.

Other ingredients found in AFP Peptizyde Chewables: Fructose, xylitol, natural pomegranate flavor, natural lemonade flavor (from essential citrus oils), vegetable cellulose, magnesium stearate, citric acid, silica, and stearic acid.

Contains no added rice, dairy, wheat, gluten, soy, yeast, artificial flavors, or animal derivatives.

What Customers Are Saying:

"The chewable tablets have a great taste, making it easy to give my autistic child."

"My son is on the GFCF diet but can cheat if he takes AFP Peptizyde."

"My daughter has autism and is not able to break down gluten or casein on her own, but with this enzyme, she does not get sick. "


FAQ For AFP Peptizyde Advanced Formula Protease Multi-Enzyme for Digestion - Case of 6

? Have a question about this product? Click here to ask us!
If the capsule is opened and the contents are put on food in drink, will the proteases hurt the mouth or throat?
Answer: The proteases should not be harmful if taken without the capsule. Some irritation may occur if the enzyme remains on the cheeks or gums due to a debriding action on the layer of dead skin cells. Houston Enzymes recommends drinking or eating after taking the enzymes to clear the mouth of enzymes, or brushing teeth, gargling, etc...
Will AFP Peptizyde help those with celiac disease?
Answer: Houston Enzymes recommends that those with celiac disease stay on their doctor prescribed gluten-free diet. Taking the enzymes while maintaining a gluten-free diet should do no harm.
Do I need to be on the GFCF diet for AFP Peptizyde to work?
Answer: No. AFP Peptizyde will work regardless of whether one is on the GFCF diet. Many use the enzyme as an alternative to the GFCF diet with very good results.
