Lacteeze is a commercially available tablet or liquid, containing the digestive enzyme lactase, which is used to break down the milk sugar (lactose). The use of lacteeze enables people who are lactose intolerant to enjoy dairy foods, which are a wonderful source of protein and calcium.

As the lactase enzyme isn’t a supplement ingredient, the lacteeze tablets and drops aren’t technically a supplement. Therefore, lactase (or the commercially available Lacteeze product) is not listed on the AIS Supplement Framework.

Lacteeze is manufactured in Australia in a pharmaceutical facility, and therefore is considered low risk for use by athletes. For specific guidance, reach out to your doctor or sports dietitian.

GluteGuard is a commercially available tablet, containing the enzyme caricain which may break down gluten, a protein contained in wheat, rye, barley and oats. A (life long) gluten free diet is the primary prescription for individuals with coeliac disease and those with gluten insensitivity. However, sometimes these individuals may be inadvertently exposed to gluten, resulting in uncomfortable intestinal symptoms. This is where GluteGuard is claimed to benefit, taken just before a meal that may contain gluten to reduce the potential for symptoms.

As the caricain enzyme isn’t a supplement ingredient, GluteGuard tablets aren’t technically a supplement. Therefore, Caricain (or the commercially available GluteGuard product) is not listed on the AIS Supplement Framework.

GluteGuard is batch tested for banned substances, and hence safe for you to use. Please contact GluteGuard direct for assistance accessing batch details and certificates.  For specific guidance on following a gluten free diet or the potential use of GluteGuard, reach out to your doctor or sports dietitian.

Fodzyme is a combination of enzymes which are used by our guts to digest certain carbohydrate components which can, in some individuals, cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating and pain. It is manufactured in the USA, and the safety of this manufacturing environment from a ‘limiting risk’ is uncertain. Therefore, we do NOT recommend the use of Fodzyme by athletes who are likely to be tested for banned substances.
