A proprietary blend of microbial enzymes, SerenAid® is specifically formulated to assist in breaking down a broad range of plant and animal proteins, including casein (milk and dairy products), gluten (wheat, rye, oats, barley, and other grains), and soy proteins. The inclusion of Exorphinase® differentiates SerenAid® from other digestive enzyme formulas. This proprietary, high-activity enzyme blend of peptidase and protease with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity can assist in hydrolyzing small protein peptides, including casomorphins and gluteomorphins that can adversely affect the central nervous system in some individuals.† The enzymes in this formulation are pH-stable, demonstrating activity over a wide range of pH conditions (pH of 2 to 12).
