Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 Where do you get peptizyde from?

Products like HN-Zyme Prime (www.houstonni.com), SerenAid (Klaire labs), and EnzymAid (Kirkmans) work on a variety of food types. Specific enzymes work on specific food types so you need to get the right one for the food you are interested in degrading. It also depends on enzymes activity in product, timing, price of product, etc. Peptizyde (www.houstonni.com) is designed as a powerful protein degrader, to break up proteins in general and the gluten and casein proteins specifically. It contains the highest amount of DPP IV (the enzyme that cleaves the casein protein) of any product available. It also contains a some enzymes to cleave peptides that might make it to the intestines. So you wouldn't want to use it for a meal high in fats, for example. But you would want it if a meal or snack had some gluten/casein in it. SerenAid also contains some of this specific protease known to cleave the casein bond. SerenAid has more different types of enzymes (so can work on a few more types of foods, whereas Peptizyde contains more casein breakers and is streamlined for the gluten/dairy breakdown. EnzymAid and HN-Zyme Prime, as well as several different brands from the health food store such as AbsorbAid, are good all-purpose enzyme products which work on fats, carbs, some proteins, lactose, etc. This will improve over all digestion and health. But most will not work on the casein/gluten proteins in a big enough way to allow gluten/casein foods. Kirkmans repeatedly states EnzymAid is NOT to be used with gluten/casein food. But it is a good general enzyme product. Peptizyde can be used effectively with gluten/casein foods. Many parents (including the three in my family) are using Peptizyde with regularly planned infractions and even instead of the GFCF diet altogether with excellent results. I tried another brand from the HFS specifically stating it was for protein digestion, but it was not at all effective for us in breaking up the casein/gluten proteins. We have used Peptizyde for over 2 months now with g and c food with no reaction, only improved behavior. As for activity, here is a very rough guide: 3 AbsorbAid capsules = 1 Zyme Prime, 2 EnzymAids or SerenAids = 1 Zyme Prime, 2 SerenAids = 1 Peptizyde. Remember that the formulations are different so you are attacking slightly different food types. Also, if one product does not work for you, another might. There is a document called Parents Guide to Selecting Enzymes Products at link:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/enzymesandautism/files/Selecting% 20Enzyme%20Products One other important point. We have discovered on the enzymesandautism board that veggie capsules do not dissolve as quickly as gelatin capsules under stomach conditions. SerenAid is a gelatin capsule. No problem. Peptizyde, Zyme Prime and EnzymAid are veggie caps. Because enzymes work on contact with the food, the enzymes must be IN SOLUTION in the stomach with food. Some parents were having problems which improved after doing one of the following with veggie caps: 1) open the capsule and mix contents in liquid or with food and take at the beginning of the meal, 2)swallow the veggie cap and allow 30 minutes for the capsule to dissolve in the stomach before eating, 3) this is what I do: buy a bag of gelatin capsules at the HFS and transfer the enzymes to the gel capsules and take at the beginning of a meal. Then you only have to wait 1-2 minutes before eating. . >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
