Actinidin double the speed of peptide release compared to natural gastric enzymes alone.

In consumers who regularly consume protein supplements, Actinizyme® improved feelings of bloating/gas by up to 37%.

Actinidin, the powerful, kiwifruit-unique protease, digests pea protein in seconds vs an hour with our body’s enzymes.

7 reasons why Actinizyme® can help you make a better protein!

2x Faster Peptide Release

Double your protein gains. Actinizyme® breaks down whey twice as fast. Actinizyme can cause rapid breakdown of whey protein into smaller peptides and free amino acids, often doubling the speed of peptide release compared to natural gastric enzymes alone. As a result, both the bioavailability of essential amino acids and the overall digestion of whey protein are substantially improved within a short period after ingestion.

Actinizyme The Perfect Fit Whey Protein

Actinizyme Preferential digestion for whey drives superior amino acid absorption , making it best suited for athletes who consume whey protein supplements.  

Perform At Your Best. No More Discomfort

By enhancing protein digestion, Actinizyme® reduce bloating, flatulence, and abdominal pain often associated with high protein intake. This is beneficial for athletes who need to consume large amounts of protein but may experience digestive discomfort. 

Universal Protein Digestion

Actinizyme has been shown to promote the digestion of collagen and plant proteins like pea protein, which is becoming increasingly popular among vegan athletes. As a natural, clean-label ingredient, Actinizyme helps maximise the utilisation of plant-based protein sources while catering to the demand for transparent and minimally processed formulations. 

Bowel comfort support

Studies in animals have shown that Actinizyme can increase the rate of stomach emptying for various protein sources, including beef muscle protein, gelatin, soy protein, and gluten. This could potentially lead to faster nutrient absorption and reduced feelings of fullness, which may be beneficial for athletes during training or competition.

Potential allergen reduction

Actinizyme supports bowel regularity and provides occasional constipation relief. This can be helpful for athletes who may experience changes in bowel habits due to high protein intake or travel-related stress.

Additional nutritional benefits

Made from NZ green kiwifruit powder, Actinizyme® provides other nutritional benefits beyond protein digestion support, such as dietary fiber and vitamin C. These nutrients can contribute to overall health and potentially support athletic performance and recovery. 

By optimising protein digestion and absorption, reducing gastrointestinal discomfort, and providing additional nutritional benefits, Actinizyme can be a valuable supplement for athletes looking to optimise their 

Types of Proteins Actinidin Helps Digest

Actinidin has been shown to have broad substrate specificity and enhance the digestion of a wide range of proteins:

  • Dairy Proteins: Both casein and whey proteins show improved digestion with actinidin
  • Plant Proteins: As mentioned, soy, pea, gluten, and other plant-based proteins are more efficiently digested with actinidin.
  • Collagen: Actinidin has demonstrated a strong ability to break down collagen, enhancing the release of bioactive peptides and improving the absorption of amino acids essential for joint, skin, and connective tissue health.
  • Meat Proteins: Beef, chicken, and fish proteins are effectively broken down by actinidin.

Customer Reviews

The biggest thing I noticed was the flatulence was a lot less and I didn’t get afternoon bloating.

Actinizyme adds bulk to your stool and therefore your digestion feels better.

I loved taking this product. It really improved my gassiness and burping frequency i.e. lowered both.
