FAQ - Everything you need to know about FODZYME®

• What exactly is FODZYME^®?

  FODZYME^® is a tasteless enzyme powder designed to break down FODMAPs (fructan, GOS, and lactose) in food to make meals more digestible. It's formulated specifically for people with FODMAP sensitivities.

• What ingredients does FODZYME^® contain?

  • Fructan Hydrolase: One of FODZYME’s core innovations, this enzyme helps break down fructans and inulin found in foods like garlic, onions, and wheat.
  • Alpha-galactosidase: Targets GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides) present in beans and legumes, aiding digestion.
  • Lactase: Simplifies the digestion of lactose, commonly found in dairy products.
  • Dextrin: Sourced from non-GMO maize/corn, used to stabilize the enzymes, ensuring they remain effective throughout digestion.

  Contains no GMOs, gluten, milk, egg, casein, soy, or artificial colors or flavors.

• Is FODZYME^® allergen-friendly?

  Yes, FODZYME^® is:

  • Certified low FODMAP by Monash University and FODMAP Friendly
  • Vegan-friendly
  • Non-GMO
  • Gluten-free
  • Dairy-free
  • Soy-free
  • Egg-free
  • Casein-free
  • Free from artificial colors and flavors
  • Manufactured in the USA with global ingredients
  • Certified Kosher by Kosher Supervision of America (KSA)

• What foods does FODZYME^® help digest?

  FODZYME^® targets three primary FODMAP groups—fructans, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), and lactose—which are common triggers for digestive discomfort. Its enzyme blend works on foods like garlic, onions, wheat, beans, lentils, dairy products, and certain vegetables, breaking these FODMAPs into easily digestible sugars.

  Key Food Groups Supported and Example Foods:

  • Fructans: Garlic, onions, leeks, wheat, barley, asparagus, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, and cashews.
  • GOS: Chickpeas, lentils, black beans, red kidney beans, soy milk (whole bean), pistachios, and oats.
  • Lactose: Milk, yogurt, ice cream, soft cheeses (ricotta, cottage cheese), and cream.

• How do I take FODZYME^®?

  1. Mix Directly: Mix FODZYME^® directly or apply evenly on meals. It’s tasteless.
  2. Alternate Method: If you can’t mix, sprinkle FODZYME^® and chew with the first bite.
  3. Adjust Dosage: Dosage is personal—double the dose if extra sensitive or for large meals.
  4. Temperature Note: Allow hot foods to cool slightly before applying (below 140 °F / 60 °C). As a rule of thumb, adding FODZYME^® is okay if the meal is cool enough that it won’t burn.
  5. Enjoy: Chew well and enjoy your meal!

• How is FODZYME^® different from other digestive enzymes?

  FODZYME^® is the first enzyme blend custom-made to tackle FODMAPs—the fermentable carbs that wreak havoc on sensitive tummies. Its secret sauce is fructan hydrolase, a unique enzyme that breaks down problematic fructans in garlic, onions, and wheat, while lactase and alpha-galactosidase cover a broad range of FODMAP offenders.

  Offered in a powdered form for immediate action, FODZYME^® mixes instantly with your food—cutting down FODMAP content by up to 90% and easing symptoms like bloating and gas. It’s Monash University-certified and backed by clinical trials, making it a science-driven solution for those seeking real dietary freedom.

• How quickly does FODZYME^® work? When will I feel something?

  FODZYME^® begins breaking down FODMAPs immediately upon contact with food. In simulated gastric conditions, it degraded up to 90% of FODMAPs like fructans within 30 minutes. This rapid action prevents undigested FODMAPs from reaching the colon, where they typically ferment and cause symptoms such as bloating and gas.

  Most users report symptom relief 4–8 hours after consuming a FODMAP-rich meal—aligned with the time it takes for digested food to reach the colon.

• Can I use FODZYME^® every day?

  Yes, FODZYME^® is designed for safe daily use. Its enzymes are naturally occurring and work specifically on FODMAPs without interfering with normal digestion or nutrient absorption. Regular use can help manage symptoms and expand dietary choices for those following a low FODMAP diet.

• Will FODZYME^® interfere with my medications?

  FODZYME^® is generally considered safe to use alongside most medications, as its enzymes work specifically on FODMAPs in the digestive tract. However, it’s always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting any new supplement—especially if you’re taking prescription medications.

  Individual responses can vary. If you notice any unusual symptoms or changes in medication effectiveness, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider immediately.

• Is FODZYME^® a cure for conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

  No, FODZYME^® is not a cure for IBS or any other digestive disorder. It is a digestive aid designed to help manage symptoms associated with FODMAP sensitivity, common in IBS patients. While it may significantly reduce symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal pain, it does not address the underlying causes of IBS or other gastrointestinal conditions. Instead, view FODZYME^® as a tool to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

• Why is FODZYME^® a powder instead of a capsule?

  FODZYME^®’s powdered format mixes directly with your food for instant action on FODMAPs—no waiting for a capsule to dissolve. This allows for:

  • More immediate breakdown of problematic carbs.
  • Flexible dosing based on your meal’s FODMAP content.
  • Even distribution for better overall effectiveness in reducing digestive discomfort.

• Is FODZYME^® safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

  FODZYME^®’s enzymes work on your food without entering your body, making it a low-risk option. However, because studies on pregnant or breastfeeding women are limited for ethical reasons, there’s no concrete evidence it’s unsafe—but it’s best to consult your physician before use.

  Keep in mind that a low FODMAP diet isn’t generally advised during pregnancy due to potential nutritional restrictions, so always prioritize a nutrient-rich diet. Rest assured that all ingredients are GRAS-certified and undergo rigorous third-party testing for safety and quality.
