How FODZYME® Compares to Other Digestive EnzymesUpdated 3 days ago

FODZYME® is different from most digestive enzymes because it specifically targets key FODMAPs—fructans, GOS, and lactose—rather than general digestion. This makes it a more targeted option for people with FODMAP sensitivities.

What Makes FODZYME® Different

Most digestive enzymes focus on macronutrients like protein, fat, or starch. FODZYME® is designed to work on specific fermentable carbohydrates that commonly trigger bloating and gas.

FODZYME® uses:

Fructan hydrolase to break down fructans (garlic, onions, wheat)
Alpha-galactosidase to break down GOS (beans, lentils)
Lactase to break down lactose (dairy)

Its patent-pending fructan hydrolase is not found in typical enzyme products.

Compared to Popular Enzymes

Product	What It Targets	What It Misses
FODZYME®	Fructans, GOS, Lactose	Polyols, gluten, proteins
Beano	GOS only	Fructans, lactose
Lactaid	Lactose only	Fructans, GOS
Broad digestive enzymes	Proteins, fats, starches	FODMAPs

FODZYME® offers broader FODMAP coverage than single-target products while staying focused on FODMAP-related symptoms.

Form & How It Works

FODZYME® comes as a powder, not a capsule.

Why that matters:

Sprinkled directly on food for immediate enzyme–food contact
Starts working as you eat, not after capsules dissolve
Flexible dosing based on meal size and FODMAP content

Capsules must dissolve in the stomach, which can delay or reduce contact with FODMAPs in food.

Who FODZYME® Is Best For

FODZYME® is especially helpful if:

Your symptoms are triggered by garlic, onions, wheat, beans, or dairy
You want flexibility instead of strict food avoidance
Single-enzyme products haven’t addressed all your triggers

It’s a targeted tool - not a general digestive aid - for managing FODMAP-related discomfort.
