Protease Plus provides supplemental protease enzymes that break down proteins into smaller proteins and amino acids, maximizing digestion. As we grow older, our bodies produce fewer enzymes. When a suboptimal level of protease enzyme exists, undigested proteins can pass through the intestinal tract and remain undigested. These have been linked to effects on overall health and vitality. Protease Plus may support immunity by possibly activating macrophages and natural killer cells. NSP"s formula provides a full spectrum of plant-derived trace minerals, which help activate enzymes. Each capsule of NSP Protease Plus contains 60,000 HUT protease in a base of beet root fiber and plant-sourced trace mineral concentrate. Take 1 capsule with a meal three times daily for protein digestion. Alternate use: Take 1 3 capsules between meals; combine with Immune Stimulator for maximum benefit but do not take at the same time of day as Immune Stimulator.
