Pure Encapsulations Gluten Dairy Enzymes is a food supplement supplying 60 vegetarian capsules of a targeted enzyme blend. It combines a protease blend (with DPP-IV activity) aimed at gluten proteins with a separate protease and lactase blend aimed at dairy proteins and lactose, for taking alongside meals that contain gluten or dairy.

Key Features

• Two targeted enzyme blends: a DPP-IV protease blend for gluten-containing meals, and a separate protease and lactase blend for dairy-containing meals.
• Contains lactase, an enzyme with a recognised role in helping the body digest lactose, the natural sugar found in milk and dairy products.
• Simple, flexible dosing: just one capsule with a meal that contains gluten or dairy, taken as needed rather than on a fixed daily schedule.
• Hypoallergenic formulation, made without wheat, egg, tree nuts, peanuts, gluten, artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or GMOs.
• Supplied in vegetarian capsules, suitable for those following a vegetarian diet.

Is this a treatment for coeliac disease?

No. Pure Encapsulations Gluten Dairy Enzymes is a food supplement, not a medicine, and it is not a treatment for coeliac disease. It cannot be used to allow someone with coeliac disease to eat gluten safely. The only medically recognised management of coeliac disease is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet, and anyone with coeliac disease should continue to avoid gluten and follow the advice of their doctor or dietitian.

Can it help with lactose intolerance?

This supplement contains lactase, an enzyme with a recognised role in helping digest lactose in people who have difficulty digesting it, alongside a protease blend aimed at other dairy components. It is not, however, a medical treatment for diagnosed lactose intolerance, and how well it works can vary from person to person. Anyone with a diagnosed intolerance or a dairy allergy should speak to a healthcare professional about managing their diet.

Who is this supplement intended for?

It's intended for adults who want extra enzyme support around occasional meals containing gluten or dairy, for example when eating out or when fully avoiding these ingredients isn't practical. It is not intended for people who need to strictly avoid gluten or dairy for medical reasons, such as coeliac disease or a diagnosed food allergy.

How is this different from a general digestive enzyme supplement?

Unlike broad-spectrum digestive enzyme supplements that target fats, proteins and carbohydrates generally, this product combines two specific enzyme blends chosen for gluten and dairy components: a DPP-IV protease blend for gluten proteins, and a protease and lactase blend for dairy proteins and lactose.

Each vegetarian capsule contains two enzyme blends, supplying the following amounts and enzyme activities:

Other ingredients: vegetarian capsule shell (cellulose).

Adults: take 1 capsule with a meal that contains gluten or dairy, as needed, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or take any medication.

This is a food supplement, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it is not a treatment for coeliac disease. It does not allow someone with coeliac disease to eat gluten safely, and it does not replace a strict gluten-free diet where this is medically necessary. It is also not a substitute for medical management of a diagnosed lactose intolerance or dairy allergy.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
