About Nature’s Sunshine High-Potency Protease

Protein digestion becomes increasingly important as we age, yet our bodies naturally produce fewer digestive enzymes over time. When proteins aren’t properly broken down, they can remain undigested in your system, potentially affecting your overall health and vitality. Nature’s Sunshine High-Potency Protease provides powerful enzymatic support to help your body efficiently process proteins from food and maintain optimal digestive function.

Each capsule contains 180,000 HUT (Hemoglobin Units Tyrosine) of protease, making this one of the most concentrated protein-digesting enzyme supplements available. This high potency means you get maximum digestive support in a single, convenient capsule. The protease enzymes work across a broad pH range from 3.0 to 6.0, ensuring effective protein breakdown throughout your entire digestive tract, from the acidic environment of your stomach to the more alkaline conditions of your small intestine.

The Science Behind Protease Enzymes

Protease enzymes are specialized proteins that break down other proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, making them easier for your body to absorb and utilize. Without adequate protease activity, large protein molecules can pass through your digestive system unprocessed, potentially leading to digestive discomfort and reduced nutrient absorption.

When taken with meals, High-Potency Protease acts as a digestive aid, helping break down proteins from meat, dairy, legumes, and other protein-rich foods. This enhanced digestion can help reduce feelings of heaviness after protein-heavy meals and support better nutrient absorption. When taken between meals on an empty stomach, protease enzymes work systemically throughout your body, helping process proteins that may have accumulated in your circulatory system.

Enhanced with Natural Trace Minerals

This formula goes beyond just protease enzymes by including a proprietary blend of beet root fiber and trace mineral concentrate. These plant-derived trace minerals serve as essential cofactors that help activate and enhance enzyme function. The beet root fiber provides additional digestive support while the trace minerals ensure optimal enzyme performance.

The trace mineral concentrate contains naturally occurring minerals that your body needs in small amounts but are crucial for proper enzyme function. These minerals work synergistically with the protease enzymes to maximize their effectiveness and ensure you get the full benefit of each capsule.

Recommended Usage

Take 1 capsule between meals up to three times daily. For digestive support, take with protein-rich meals. For systemic support, take on an empty stomach.

Frequently Asked Questions

HUT stands for Hemoglobin Units Tyrosine, which measures protease enzyme activity. The 180,000 HUT in this formula represents a highly concentrated dose of active protease enzymes, ensuring maximum protein-digesting power in each capsule.

Take with meals to support digestion of dietary proteins from food. Take between meals on an empty stomach for systemic enzyme support throughout your body. Both approaches offer different benefits depending on your wellness goals.

This formula is specifically concentrated in protease enzymes rather than being a broad-spectrum digestive enzyme blend. It’s designed for targeted protein digestion support and contains a higher potency of protease than most general digestive enzyme products.

Start with one capsule to assess tolerance. The formula is designed to work across various pH levels, but if you have digestive sensitivities, consider taking with food initially and consult your healthcare professional.

The plant-derived trace minerals act as cofactors that help activate and enhance enzyme function. These minerals ensure optimal enzyme performance and help maximize the effectiveness of the protease enzymes in breaking down proteins.
