The acid-stable protease used in OptaGest® is pH stable and will survive the stomach’s gastric juices, so it can go to work breaking down proteins for building muscle. Some products include Bromelain as their source of the enzyme protease. Papaya and pineapple are the main sources of Bromelain. Unfortunately they require a pH that is not commonly found in the body and these proteases do not survive the gastric juices.
