Not all digestive enzymes can help with common gut symptom triggers like gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation.
It's a myth that all digestive enzymes can break down all carbohydrates (including FODMAPs). Truth is, only specific enzymes can integrate with specific FODMAP groups (fructan, galactooligosaccharides (GOS), lactose).
An enzyme is a highly specialized protein that acts on a specific molecule, called the enzyme's substrate. You can think of enzymes as specialized molecular scissors.
Fructans (found in garlic, onion, wheat, banana, and more) can be broken down by fructan hydrolase, a key ingredient in FODZYME.
FODMAPs are short-chain carbohydrates that move through our bodies undigested. They function as healthy prebiotic fibers and promote good gut bacteria.
However, these carbohydrates are also poorly digested and can trigger gut symptoms like abdominal pain, constipation, excessive gas, bloating, and diarrhea.
With FODZYME®, you get the best of both: providing your body with the nutrients it needs, yet reducing the negative effect of FODMAPs.
