NuMedica Glutenza provides targeted enzyme, probiotic, and prebiotic support to help break down gluten proteins and maintain a comfortable digestive environment when gluten is difficult to avoid. *
NuMedica Glutenza is a targeted digestive enzyme, probiotic, and prebiotic formula designed to support the breakdown of gluten proteins in everyday meals. Its enzymes help cleave both internal and external peptide bonds within gluten structures, reducing large gluten peptides into smaller, more manageable fragments. Glutenza also includes beneficial probiotics and a specialized prebiotic blend to help maintain a balanced intestinal environment. This combination supports more comfortable digestion when gluten is difficult to avoid or when meals may contain small amounts of hidden gluten.
Gluten proteins are complex and can be challenging for the body to break down fully. Glutenza provides a focused enzyme blend-endopeptidase, protease, and DPPIV activity-that works on these resilient gluten peptides. By helping reduce unhydrolyzed gluten fragments into smaller pieces, this formula supports smoother digestion during meals where gluten exposure is possible.
Alongside its enzyme blend, Glutenza includes five billion CFU of specific probiotic strains and the PreForPro prebiotic blend. These components help foster a more supportive microbial environment in both the small and large intestines. While Glutenza is not intended to replace a gluten-free diet or treat celiac disease, it may be useful for individuals who want added support when eating meals outside the home or when gluten-containing ingredients are difficult to avoid completely.
Glutenza is well-suited for individuals who follow a gluten-free or low-gluten approach but still encounter gluten in shared kitchens, processed foods, or restaurant meals. Its targeted focus on gluten peptides makes it a practical option for situations where cross-contact is likely or where ingredient lists are not always clear. It also provides broader digestive support through its probiotic and prebiotic components, offering a calm, steady approach to supporting everyday digestive comfort.

No. Glutenza does not replace a gluten-free diet or treat celiac disease. It is intended for situations where avoiding all gluten is difficult, such as shared kitchens or restaurant meals.
Glutenza is designed specifically for gluten proteins. It also includes probiotics and prebiotics that support a balanced digestive environment, but its main focus is gluten-peptide breakdown.
It may be helpful when meals could contain hidden gluten or when cross-contact is likely. Many people use it when eating away from home or when ingredient lists are unclear.
They share similar enzyme structures, but Glutenza is formulated and positioned specifically for gluten-containing foods, while All-Genza supports a broader range of food proteins.
Yes. Glutenza includes Saccharomyces boulardii, Bacillus subtilis, and Lactobacillus acidophilus, providing 5 billion CFU per capsule.

Most of us are consuming too much gluten in our diets. We would all benefit from eating more natural, whole foods and less processed foods. Learn more about gluten-free and dairy-free nutrition options and take advantage of the educational resources, shopping list, and recipes.
Is Gluten Bad? Gluten just is. The problem is, it generally is not being used in the correct proportions any more. So let's take a moment to explore what gluten really is.
Celiac disease occurs for some people who have a problem processing gluten, which is a protein found in many foods. The gluten triggers an immune response that is not normal and damages the inside of the small intestine. Once that happens it is difficult to absorb the nutrients needed from the foods eaten.
Metabolic dysfunction often develops quietly &- years before a diagnosis &- undermining energy, mood, weight, and long-term health. This guide clarifies what metabolic dysfunction is, how it differs from metabolic syndrome, and how to restore balance via lifestyle steps and osteopathic principles.

The average American eats just under two cups of dairy products every day. But you're not the average American.
Instead, you've decided to forego dairy products. It could be that you're one of the 50 million people in the United States who is lactose intolerant. Or, you might just want to skip dairy for ethical or personal reasons.
It could be that the primary key to health and wellbeing lay within our gastrointestinal tract. With obesity and childhood behavioral disorders at seemingly epidemic levels and our "healthcare" system lacking answers, where do we turn?
Why is maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle so tricky? What everyday factors are hindering our progress in eating well every day? We will break down the reasons your diet may be failing you and what you can do about it.
