Peptizyde now without glutamine

[Guest guest]

Several people were concerned about the glutamine in Peptizyde

causing adverse reactions with their kids. In response to this, here

is a recent announcement saying Peptizyde no longer contains the L-

glutamine. The " space " is filled in part with even more DPP IV, the

enzyme which breaks down casein. Kd.

-----------------------

Peptizyde now contains only proteolytic enzymes and rice bran. The

50 mg of glutamine was removed because 1) many complained that their

children were sensitive to glutamine 2)If one wants glutamine, it can

be added to the diet in much larger quantities by separate

supplementation.

In addition, the peptidase content was increased from 50,000 HUT to

62,500 HUT. HNI does not plan on carrying Peptizyde with and without

glutamine.

Glutamine is known for it's gut-healing properties, but this occurs

with dosing of over 1000 mg per day, so the 50 mg of glutamine per

capsule in Peptizyde was probably of little benefit at that dosage.

However, glutamine is an excitatory amino acid, and can be converted

to glutamate in the body under certain conditions. This may explain

some of the instances of hyperactivity noted with Peptizyde.

The primary benefit of Peptizyde is due to the specific combination

of the three proteases therein, and their activity is not dependent

upon the presence of glutamine. --Devin Houston, Ph.D.
