Product Description
FODMAP DPE (Digestive Probiotics and Enzymes) is a blend of specialized enzymes and spore-forming probiotics that assists the body in properly digesting highly fermentable foods, commonly known as FODMAPs.
Digestive Support
FODMAPs are a group of short-chain carbohydrates known as fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols and are frequently linked to digestive problems such as bloating, belching, flatulence, and abdominal discomfort. Common High FODMAP Foods
Most people experience these digestive issues because FODMAP carbohydrates are poorly digested or remain undigested as they pass through the digestive system. Eventually these undigested foods come into contact with gut bacteria where they undergo fermentation, and produce gas that causes the slew of common symptoms associated with FODMAP foods.
Who Can Benefit from FODMAP DPE?
The FODMAP Intolerant
You have already identified and eliminated high-FODMAP foods.. However, avoiding problematic FODMAPs is difficult when dining out, and sometimes even when preparing meals at home. You want to be able to enjoy eating, without the worry that you may be exposed to foods that may upset your digestion.
You love your plant-based diet but some of these densely nutritious foods do not always love you back. FODMAP DPE can help digest fruits, vegetables and legumes more completely. This will allow you to release and absorb more nutrients, while preventing uncomfortable and embarrassing gas.
You live to eat not eat to live, but certain foods you just can’t tolerate without obnoxious side effects. Whether you travel frequently or enjoy eating out, sometimes the best tasting meal just doesn’t sit right. Taking FODMAP DPE before each meal can prevent gas, bloating and distress. Enjoy more of the foods you love, and rest easily knowing you won’t be uncomfortable afterwards.
Similar to how those suffering from lactose (a common FODMAP) intolerance can enjoy limited levels of dairy by taking the lactase enzyme , those with FODMAP sensitivities can greatly benefit from the addition of a potent digestive enzyme such as FODMAP DPE.
Those with severe or even moderate FODMAP sensitivities usually prepare meals at home instead of going out to prevent the risk of accidentally ingesting high-FODMAP foods such as garlic and onion. Unfortunately, avoiding all high-FODMAP foods is nearly impossible, especially when dining out. This makes digestive enzymes such as FODMAP DPE a vital partner in protecting yourself from discomfort due to an accidental exposure to FODMAPs.
Forget the worry, get FODMAP DPE today and enjoy eating again.
Ingredients
The primary enzyme used in popular gas-relief products, alpha galactosidase is an enzyme responsible for breaking down complex sugars into simple sugars. This allows certain gas-producing foods such as cruciferous vegetables and legumes to become more easily digestible. This enzyme is important for Oligosaccharides, the “O” in FODMAPs.
Amylase
An enzyme which partially breaks starch down into maltose. Amylase is naturally excreted from the pancreas and saliva. This enzyme is important for Monosaccharides, the “M” in FODMAPs.
Glucoamylase
Converts starch into sugar like amylase, but is most active in a highly acidic pH. The inclusion of this component allows for many sugars to be broken down prior to exiting the stomach. This enzyme is important for Monosaccharides, the “M” in FODMAPs.
Lactase
The enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the milk sugar lactose into glucose and galactose. This enzyme is important for disaccharides, the “D” in FODMAPs.
Cellulase
An enzyme that digests cellulose, or plant fiber. Most animals (including humans) do not produce cellulase naturally and are therefore unable to use most of the energy contained in plant material without supplementation of the enzyme.
Xylanase
An enzyme with the ability to digest the polysaccharide xylan into xylose, which is a primary component of plant cell walls. There is some evidence that xylanase can help support the breakdown of certain artificial sweeteners and preservatives.
Hemicellulase
Breaks down hemicellulose, a type of polysaccharide that is more complex than simple sugar and present along with cellulose in all plant cell walls.
Pectinase
Breaks down pectin which is a robust component of plant cell walls. Pectin itself is not a FODMAP, but it is found in many high-FODMAP foods and is fermentable. This enzyme helps break down fermentable foods, the “F” that may not otherwise be classified as high-FODMAP foods.
Diastase
Breaks down starch into smaller sugar molecules known as maltose and glucose. This enzyme helps support the digestion of both mono and disaccharides, the “D” and “M” of FODMAP.
Maltase
Breaks down maltose into glucose, which is required for the body to be able to utilize the sugar as energy. This enzyme is important for Disaccharides, the “D” in FODMAPs.
Invertase
Also known as sucrase, is an enzyme that breaks down sucrose (a disaccharide) into its glucose and fructose building blocks. This enzyme is important for Disaccharides, the “D” in FODMAPs.
Beta Glucanase
Breaks down glycosidic bonds, which is essentially a bond that holds a molecule of sugar to a molecule of another carbohydrate. This enzyme is important for Disaccharides, the “D” in FODMAPs.
FODMAP Probiotic Blend
A blend of two powerful spore-based probiotics that can assist in balancing and restoring a healthy microbiome. Although there aren’t any digestive enzymes that directly break down polyols, the “P” in FODMAPs which are primainly contained in “Sugar Free” products, many FODMAP sufferers have gut microbiome imbalances that may contribute to Polyol intolerance. The combination of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus clausii can help restore gut balance and support regularity by protecting against occasional constipation and diarrhea.
