About Nature’s Sunshine Protease Plus

Your body relies on digestive enzymes to break down the proteins you eat into smaller, more manageable pieces that can be absorbed and utilized. As we age, our natural enzyme production tends to decline, which can lead to digestive discomfort and reduced protein utilization. Nature’s Sunshine Protease Plus provides targeted enzyme support to help your body efficiently process proteins from your diet.

Protease Plus delivers an impressive 180,000 HUT (Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine) of protease enzymes per three-capsule serving. HUT is the standard measurement for protease enzyme activity, indicating how effectively these enzymes can break down protein molecules. This high-potency formula ensures you get substantial enzymatic support with each serving.

How Protease Enzymes Support Your Health

Protease enzymes are specialized proteins that target other proteins, breaking them down into smaller peptides and amino acids. This process is essential for proper digestion and nutrient absorption. When you take Protease Plus with meals, these enzymes work alongside your body’s natural digestive processes to help break down dietary proteins from meat, dairy, legumes, and other protein sources.

What makes Protease Plus unique is its dual-purpose design. When taken between meals on an empty stomach, protease enzymes may work systemically throughout your body. Research suggests that systemic protease enzymes may help support immune system function by potentially activating macrophages and natural killer cells, which are important components of your body’s natural defense system.

Complete Nutritional Support Beyond Enzymes

The formula goes beyond just protease enzymes by including beet root fiber and a trace mineral blend. Beet root fiber provides gentle dietary fiber that supports digestive health and regularity. The plant-derived trace minerals play a crucial role in enzyme activation and function, ensuring that the protease enzymes work at their optimal capacity.

This comprehensive approach means you’re not just getting enzyme support – you’re getting a well-rounded supplement that addresses multiple aspects of digestive and overall health. The trace minerals help activate not only the supplemental enzymes but also support your body’s own enzyme systems.

Why Choose High-Potency Enzyme Support

Many people experience digestive discomfort after protein-rich meals, including feelings of heaviness, bloating, or sluggishness. This often occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough enzymes to efficiently break down the proteins consumed. Protease Plus provides the concentrated enzyme support your digestive system needs to handle protein-rich meals more comfortably.

The high potency of this formula makes it particularly beneficial for individuals who follow high-protein diets, older adults whose natural enzyme production may have declined, or anyone who experiences occasional digestive discomfort after eating protein-rich foods.

Recommended Usage

Take 1–3 capsules with or between meals. For digestive support, take with protein-containing meals. For systemic support, take between meals on an empty stomach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between taking Protease Plus with meals versus between meals?

When taken with meals, Protease Plus helps digest dietary proteins from food, supporting comfortable digestion and nutrient absorption. When taken between meals on an empty stomach, the enzymes work systemically and may help support immune function by potentially activating macrophages and natural killer cells.

How do I know if I need digestive enzyme support?

Signs that you might benefit from enzyme support include feeling heavy or uncomfortable after protein-rich meals, occasional bloating, or general digestive discomfort. As we age, our natural enzyme production naturally declines, making supplementation increasingly beneficial for many people.

What does HUT mean and why is it important?

HUT stands for Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine, which is the standard measurement for protease enzyme activity. It indicates how effectively the enzyme can break down protein molecules. The 180,000 HUT in Protease Plus represents a high-potency formula designed for maximum protein-digesting effectiveness.

Can I take Protease Plus with other digestive supplements?

Yes, Protease Plus can generally be taken with other digestive supplements. Since it specifically targets protein digestion, it may complement other enzymes that focus on fats or carbohydrates. However, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional about your specific supplement routine.

How long should I take Protease Plus to see benefits?

Many people notice improved digestive comfort within a few days to weeks of consistent use. For digestive support, benefits are often felt relatively quickly after meals. For systemic support, consistent use over several weeks may be needed to experience the full benefits.
