FODZYME® 101: Everything You Need to KnowUpdated 3 days ago

FODZYME® breaks down specific FODMAPs as you eat, helping reduce symptoms like bloating, gas, and discomfort. This guide covers what's in it, how it works, and how it fits into your diet.

What It Is

FODZYME® is a digestive enzyme supplement made with a patent-pending blend of natural microbial enzymes. When sprinkled on or mixed into food, the enzymes begin working immediately-breaking down problematic carbohydrates during digestion, not after symptoms start.

How It Works

FODZYME® targets FODMAPs at the source - your food - before they can cause issues.

Its enzymes break FODMAPs into simpler sugars that are easier to absorb in the small intestine. This reduces how much fermentable material reaches the large intestine, where undigested FODMAPs typically trigger symptoms.

FODZYME® addresses three common FODMAP types:

• Fructans (garlic, onions, wheat, rye) using a novel fructan hydrolase
• GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides) (beans, lentils, legumes) using alpha-galactosidase
• Lactose (dairy products) using lactase

By addressing these key FODMAP groups during digestion, FODZYME® makes many high-FODMAP foods easier to tolerate for people with sensitivities.

Does It Change My Food's Nutrition?

No. FODZYME® does not change the nutritional composition of your food.

FODMAPs make up only a small portion of most meals - even those considered high-FODMAP. Breaking them down into simple sugars has little to no effect on calories, macros, or overall nutrition.

Taste & 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

Adding High-FODMAP Foods

FODZYME® can help you reintroduce high-FODMAP foods, especially once you understand your personal triggers.

Ideally, this works best after completing the FODMAP reintroduction phase without FODZYME®. That process helps you identify which FODMAPs affect you and in what amounts. Once you have that baseline, FODZYME® becomes a helpful tool during the personalization phase - allowing you to enjoy known trigger foods like garlic, onions, or dairy with reduced risk of symptoms.

This approach gives you both clarity (you understand your baseline) and flexibility (you can make exceptions when you want to).

If You’re New to Low-FODMAP

If you've never followed a low-FODMAP diet, you can still try FODZYME®.

A common approach is the quick start protocol, which involves using FODZYME® with all meals for 5–7 days. This temporarily lowers your overall FODMAP load and helps you see whether FODMAPs may be contributing to your symptoms.

If you notice improvement, it’s a good sign that FODMAPs play a role - and you can then begin identifying specific triggers. As always, consulting a registered dietitian or healthcare provider is recommended before starting any new supplement.
