Proteolytic

ProteaseCW™

A specialized proteolytic complex designed to hydrolyze the peptide bonds in casein and whey proteins. By reducing these dairy proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, it supports digestion in individuals who may have difficulty breaking down milk-derived proteins.*

BIOCHEMICAL ROLE IN DIGESTION

ProteaseCW™ targets peptide bonds prevalent in dairy proteins, hydrolyzing both micellar caseins and globular whey proteins into shorter peptides and amino acids. Casein’s structured micelles and whey’s compact folds can resist nonspecific cleavage; a targeted protease increases the rate at which these proteins are opened and fragmented. The resulting peptides present optimal substrates for exopeptidases, facilitating thorough dairy protein utilization.*

NUTRITIONAL RELEVANCE IN SUPPLEMENTATION

In supplementation, ProteaseCW™ aids digestion of dairy-based proteins in mixed meals and nutrition products. By accelerating breakdown of casein and whey, it supports timely amino acid availability and may reduce discomfort associated with slower-digesting milk proteins. This targeted activity is useful in sports formulations, high-protein diets, and enzyme blends designed for individuals who experience difficulty digesting intact dairy proteins.*
