Fibrolytic

Cellulase TR

A thermostable form of cellulase that retains its catalytic function across a wider range of digestive conditions. Like other cellulases, it cleaves β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in cellulose, facilitating the breakdown of tough plant fibers. Its enhanced stability makes it particularly effective in sustained fiber hydrolysis, contributing to a more thorough release of plant-based nutrients.*

BIOCHEMICAL ROLE IN DIGESTION

Cellulase TR exhibits a broader substrate specificity compared to other cellulase variants, acting on a wider array of cellulose types within plant matter. Its activity contributes to the stepwise hydrolysis of dietary fibers into glucose and soluble oligosaccharides, complementing other fiber-degrading enzymes. By attacking both amorphous and crystalline cellulose regions, it provides more comprehensive fiber degradation, which is critical for breaking down diverse dietary plant sources encountered in mixed meals.*

NUTRITIONAL RELEVANCE IN SUPPLEMENTATION

Supplementing with cellulase TR enhances digestive resilience when diets are rich in fibrous fruits, legumes, or grains. It helps to minimize the discomfort often associated with high-fiber intake, such as bloating and gas, by reducing undigested fiber residues. Additionally, its broader activity ensures consistent liberation of nutrients across different fiber types, making it particularly valuable in multi-enzyme formulations designed for wide-spectrum digestive support.*
