High-Potency Protease [Digestive, Immune] provides supplemental protease enzymes that break down proteins into smaller proteins and amino acids, maximizing digestion. They are found in the stomach and in the pancreatic and intestinal juices. As we grow older, our bodies produce fewer enzymes. When a deficiency of protease enzyme exists, undigested proteins can pass through the intestinal tract and remain undigested. These have been linked to a variety of unsavory health concerns. Protease breaks down food proteins into smaller proteins and amino acids, maximizing digestion. This product also supports the immune system by activating macrophages and natural killer cells. Protease also increases the flexibility of red blood cells, improving blood flow. NSP's formula provides a full spectrum of plant-derived trace minerals, which help activate enzymes. Each capsule of NSP High Potency Protease delivers 180,000 HUT's (Hemoglobin units, tyrosine basis) with a full spectrum of trace minerals. Enjoy the same benefits of three Protease Plus capsules in one capsule of High-Potency Protease. Take 1 to 3 capsules between meals. Can be combined with Nature's Immune Stimulator for maximum benefit (do not take at the same time of day as High Potency Protease). Stock No. 1876-1(60)
