FODZYME
FODZYME® is the world's first enzyme blend designed to break down FODMAPs.
When sprinkled on or mixed with high-FODMAP meals, FODZYME’s novel patent-pending enzyme blend breaks down the FODMAP molecules fructan, galacto-oligosaccharides and lactose into more digestible simple sugars, helping you savour every bite.

FODZYME is effective at helping you digest foods containing the FODMAPS: fructan, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and lactose. A list of foods containing these FODMAPs is given below:
Foods containing fructan and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) | Foods containing lactose | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Almonds | Cashews | Peas | Buttermilk | Ice-cream | |
Artichoke | Chickpeas | Pistachios | Cottage cheese | Kefir | |
Baby spinach | Cranberries | Pomegranate | Cream | Milk | |
Banana | Dates | Raspberries | Creamy cheeses | Paneer | |
Beans | Figs | Roma Tomatoes | Custard | Quark cheese | |
Beetroot | Garlic | Scallion | Garlic & herb cheese | Ricotta cheese | |
Blueberries | Grapefruit | Shallots | Goats cheese | Sour cream | |

FODZYME is not currently designed to help with the digestion of foods containing polyols or high amounts of fructose.
Examples of foods containing polyols (not compatible with FODZYME) | ||
---|---|---|
Apple | Cherries | Plum |
Apricot | Lychee | Prune |
Avocado | Mushrooms | Sauerkraut |
Blackberries | Nectarine | Sweetcorn |
Cauliflower | Peach | Sweet potato |

FODZYME does not target specific conditions — rather, FODZYME's enzymes break down triggering substances (fermentable fibres). Specifically, FODZYME's enzymes break down the fibres fructan, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), and lactose. So, if you know that you are sensitive to foods that contain them, it’s recommended you give FODZYME a try. FODZYME® breaks down fructans into fructose so is not suitable for someone who is extremely sensitive to fructose or suffers from hereditary fructose intolerance.
Sprinkle 1/4 tsp (0.75g) dose of powder on trigger foods right before eating.
Dose up: Add a second dose if still eating after 30 minutes.
Don't add to water - the powder works best when mixed directly with your meals. Water can diminish the effect of enzymes.
Chew & Savour - chew well to help the enzymes integrate with FODMAP's and activate instantly.
Don't heat up - avoid adding the powder to your cooking, as enzymes will deactivate at very high temperatures.
Don't snort - no matter the resemblance to other white powders, FODZYME® works best when consumed orally!
