About Alpha-Galactosidase
Enzyme that breaks down indigestible oligosaccharides (raffinose, stachyose) in beans and cruciferous vegetables before they reach gas-producing colonic bacteria. Small RCTs support reduced flatulence. Potency expressed in GalU, not mg. No mg dose range is defined on purpose — a nominal mg range would score an activity-unit label value as a mass.
What Alpha-Galactosidase supports
- Reduces gas from beans and high-FODMAP vegetables
Clinical evidence
Limited clinical evidence. Small RCTs support reduced flatulence; potency measured in GalU activity units
