Alpha-galactosidase comes from the fungus Aspergillus niger. The enzyme tackles oligosaccharides like raffinose, complex carbohydrates that many people struggle to digest on their own.
Take it with the first bite of a meal that includes gas producing foods such as beans, broccoli, cabbage, and whole grains. Users report less bloating and flatulence after eating those trigger foods. Available as pills or chewables, the dose varies by brand so stick to the label directions.
Mild digestive upset can happen in some people. Skip this product if you have a fungal allergy. Talk to a doctor before use if you have a gastrointestinal condition or diabetes, since the enzyme can shift sugar absorption.
