Gzymes (Enzyme blend) formula - We tell you everything!
How did the idea come about?
At HSN, we research and have specialised teams studying market needs. Our products serve a clear purpose aimed at improving quality of life, so you won't find formulas without a clear objective in our catalogue. Our formulations are tailored to the population's needs, avoiding commercial developments that may seem appealing but lack depth.
Gzymes (Enzyme blend) is specifically designed using enzymes for digestion, including a patented Prolyl-oligopeptidase, registered by DSM as Tolerase® G.

Selection of enzymes to use
The enzymes used in the Gzymes (Enzyme blend) formula were chosen for the synergy they can create together.
The composition of Gzymes (Enzyme blend) provides:
- Papain.
- Prolyl-oligopeptidase.
- Protease.
- Bromelain.
All of them present in optimal concentrations, which combined with their enzymatic activity**, they make the Gzymes (Enzyme blend) formula a complete and high-quality supplement you won’t want to miss.
Why calcium in the composition?
You might wonder why calcium is added to a product that combines digestive enzymes. Why?
All our products are formulated with ingredients added for well-founded reasons, not for mysticism. The calcium in the Gzymes (Enzyme blend) formula is included because it contributes to the normal functioning of digestive enzymes.
Tolerase® G, discover an innovative patent
Tolerase® G is the registered trademark used by DSM for its patented development process of the enzyme endopeptidase: Prolyl-oligopeptidase.
This patent is internationally recognised, not only for the reputation and positive evaluations of the company behind it but also for the studies supporting it (see References section), due to its unique and specific structure.
Some of the key aspects of DSM’s patented enzyme include:
- Prolyl-oligopeptidase is an enzyme preparation with activity exceeding 580,000 PPI/g (1).
- Thanks to its chemical composition, 'Prolyl-oligopeptidase' is a peptidase enzyme capable of hydrolysing proline bonds (prolyl). Gluten is a prolamin, a protein naturally rich in proline (2).
- Tolerase® G is stable and active in the acidic conditions of the stomach.
- It is resistant to digestion by pepsin.
- It is not synthetic - This enzyme is developed from food-grade Aspergillus niger.
High concentration and enzymatic activity** - How to recognise them
Enzymes have different values to consider compared to other compounds that are typically measured by mass. For example, a compound like creatine has a key value to know: the amount used; with this information, you understand its effects. However, enzymes work differently:
With digestive enzymes, it's not just the quantity used that’s important (although it is), but also their activity**. The enzymatic capacity of each one is a crucial factor. We have considered this, not only in the research associating a certain amount of enzymatic activity** with a positive effect, but also in the selection of the highest certified concentration raw materials.
Our Gzymes (Enzyme blend) features the following nutritional composition:
Enzyme | Concentration | Activity** / dose |
Papain | 6000 USP/mg | 300000 U |
Prolyl-oligopeptidase | 580000 PPI/g | 87000 U |
Protease | 450000 HUT/g | 25500 U |
Bromelain | 2500 GDU/g | 250 U |
The meaning of the abbreviations associated with concentration represents the units of activity** based on the substrate measured:
- UPS: Units as per the United States Pharmacopeia standards.
- PPI: One PPI is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one picomole of pNA from Z-Gly-Pro-pNA in 1 second under assay conditions.
- HUT: Hemoglobin units on a tyrosine basis (a proteolytic measure).
- GDU: Gelatin digestion units (another proteolytic measure).
