DPP IV Forte

Kirkman’s DPP-IV Forte® capsules feature a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) analog for well-rounded digestion of protein peptides.

This proprietary enzyme from Kirkman® acts in a singular fashion to specifically dismantle proline-containing peptides (casomorphin, gluteomorphin and gliadomorphin), which are commonly recognized to come from cereal grains and dairy products. The DPP-IV enzyme helps with the digestion of these peptides, which are typically resistant to being entirely broken down by other enzymes.

What is DPP-IV?

DPP-IV is a protein that has many roles in the body. It’s recognized by different names depending on where it’s found. When DPP-IV is on the surface of the T-cell (lymphocyte), it’s called CD26 and supports immune function. When this enzyme is found on and imbedded on the epithelial brush border mucosal membrane of the intestinal tract lining, it’s called DPP-IV.

The importance of DPP-IV is that it has basic role in breaking down casein and side chain activity in breaking down gluten. Therefore, the utilization of a DPP-IV containing enzyme will support the digestion of casein-containing milk products as well as the protein in gluten-containing grains.
