FODZYME® Key Advantages

How does FODZYME® compare to other digestive enzymes (e.g., lactase)?

FODZYME® differs from other digestive enzymes by specifically targeting fructans, GOS, and lactose — using a unique blend of fructan hydrolase, alpha-galactosidase, and lactase. Unlike Beano (which only targets GOS) or Lactaid (which only targets lac

Why is FODZYME® a powder instead of a capsule?

FODZYME® is a powder instead of a capsule to maximize its effectiveness in breaking down FODMAPs. As a powder, FODZYME® mixes directly with your food, ensuring the enzymes have immediate contact with FODMAPs, which is crucial for efficient breakdown.

What does FODZYME® taste like when added to food? Does it affect the texture?

FODZYME® is virtually tasteless and does not alter the texture of food when added. Users report no noticeable change in flavor or consistency after sprinkling FODZYME® on their meals.

Does FODZYME® affect the nutritional composition of my food?

FODZYME® does not alter the nutritional composition of your food. Since FODMAPs make up only a small fraction of a meal — even in high-FODMAP foods — their breakdown into simple sugars has little to no impact on overall nutrition. Instead, FODZYME he

Does FODZYME® affect the prebiotic properties of FODMAPs?

FODZYME® reduces, but does not completely eliminate, the prebiotic effects of FODMAPs. FODMAPs act as prebiotic fibers, feeding beneficial gut bacteria through fermentation. Although it substantially breaks down FODMAPs, FODZYME® only lowers their fe

Is FODZYME® cost-effective?

FODZYME® can be a cost-effective option for managing FODMAP sensitivities, especially compared to the ongoing costs and challenges of following a strict low-FODMAP diet. By allowing you to enjoy a wider range of foods, FODZYME® can help reduce relian

How precisely does FODZYME® target FODMAPs?

FODZYME® targets FODMAPs with specific enzymes designed to act only on FODMAP carbohydrates — leaving proteins, fats, fiber, and other nutrients untouched. It contains fructan hydrolase, which rapidly breaks down fructans (like those in garlic, onion

Are there plans to expand FODZYME®'s capabilities?

Yes, FODZYME® is continuously evolving, with plans to expand its capabilities to target even more FODMAPs. Currently, the team is developing a new enzyme designed to break down polyols, such as sorbitol and mannitol, converting them into more easily

What foods can FODZYME® not help with?

FODZYME® does not work for all foods. Specifically, it does not break down polyols, a type of FODMAP found in foods like apples, cherries, cauliflower, mushrooms, and sugar-free gum containing sorbitol or mannitol. It also does not address symptoms c
