Enzymedica BeanAssist, 30 Caps
Occasional gas and bloating are often the result of poor digestion. The complex carbohydrates in foods such as beans, cabbage and broccoli are difficult for the body to break down. When not broken down, these foods begin to ferment, producing gas. BeanAssist contains the enzyme Alpha Galactosidase, which breaks down complex carbohydrates into sugars that are naturally easier to digest. Proper digestion of these foods may reduce discomfort and prevent occasional gas and bloating.
Beans and other fiber-rich foods bring a wealth of healthful benefits, however, the occasional discomforts of gas, bloating and indigestion often associated with these foods may cause many to shy away. Alpha galactosidase provides targeted digestive support for proper breakdown of gas-inducing foods in order to naturally reduce the occurrence of digestive discomfort.
Enzymedica's BeanAssist comes in a convenient single capsule dose. These easy to swallow, kosher capsules contain no fillers or binders, unlike many tableted products available on the market.
Complex carbohydrates (fiber-rich foods), are considered staples in most vegetarian and whole food diets. Dietary fiber offers a number of health benefits, which include supporting cardiovascular and digestive systems, promoting regularity and providing food for the healthy bacteria that reside in our gastrointestinal tract.
Fiber-rich foods are known to be gas-producing because the body does not produce the enzymes necessary to break these foods down into easily digestible carbohydrates. The fiber in grains, seeds, legumes, fruits and vegetables contains a variety of resistant starches, glycogen and related polysaccharides. For this fiber, the body relies on food preparation, chewing, supplements and a healthy population of microflora in the gut to properly assimilate. When these foods remain undigested, the carbohydrates ferment, which generates gas and other uncomfortable symptoms.
The enzyme alpha-galactosidase is specific for digesting carbohydrates found in beans, grains and vegetables known to cause occasional symptoms of gas and bloating. Research studies have demonstrated alpha-galactosidase to be effective for reducing discomforts associated with consumption of these foods.1
