Digestive enzymes have been historically consumed to enhance disintegration and dissolution of foodstuffs in the stomach. N‐Sorb is a novel KD120 multi‐enzyme complex (MEC) containing a range of protease, amylase, and lipase enzymes and including glucoamylase and alpha‐galactosidase. Unlike conventional digestive enzymes, these enzymes are activated in pH environments ranging from 6.5 to 8.5. These enzymes are encapsulated in a patent‐pending SK713 Soy Lecithin Phospholipid absorption technology (‘Prodosomes’) to facilitate rapid absorption and delivery into the blood, and increase availability to tissues. Eleven case studies from two independent clinics (one in California and one in Pennsylvania) are reported in this presentation under the strict supervision of two physicians. Eleven male and female volunteers (age: 20 to 71 years) suffering from gut related digestive problems including digestive dysfunctions and leaky gut, as well as gluten allergy, consumed a minimum of one dose (1/8 tsp Prodosomes and 1/8 tsp enzyme powder mixed into 4 ounces of water) two times per day on an empty stomach over different periods of time ranging from 1 month to 4 months. Subjects were compliant based on product usage and replacement. All subjects reported significant improvement in gastrointestinal functions among other systemic improvements. No adverse events were observed in these volunteers. Support or Funding Information VNI Inc, Lederach, PA, funded this research project
