Does FODZYME® lose effectiveness with long-term use?Updated 16 days ago

No, FODZYME® does not lose effectiveness with long-term use. The enzymes in FODZYME® consistently break down specific FODMAPs (fructans, galacto-oligosaccharides, and lactose) in food, regardless of how long you've been using the product.

Unlike some enzymes that supplement an existing human function, FODZYME®’s enzymes do not replace a natural process in the body (except for lactase, which aids lactose digestion). FODMAPs, such as fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides, are dietary fibers that humans lack the enzymes to break down. This means that FODZYME® introduces a unique function that our bodies wouldn’t perform on their own, ensuring its effectiveness remains unchanged over time.

Here’s why FODZYME® works consistently:

  • Enzyme Mechanism – FODZYME® contains targeted enzymes (fructan hydrolase, alpha-galactosidase, and lactase) that specifically break down FODMAPs using a lock-and-key mechanism. They act only on their designated substrates, ensuring reliable performance.
  • No Adaptation – Unlike some medications, your body doesn’t develop tolerance or resistance to digestive enzymes. Each dose of FODZYME® provides a fresh supply of enzymes to break down FODMAPs in your meal.
  • Stable Formulation – FODZYME® is manufactured to maintain enzyme activity throughout its shelf life. When stored properly, it remains effective until the best-by date.

While FODZYME® itself does not lose effectiveness, individual responses may vary over time due to diet, stress, or other factors affecting gut health. If you notice changes in your symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
