Evidence & Research
Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®)
FODZYME® is supported by two peer-reviewed publications in Gastro Hep Advances. In a SHIME® study (Castro Ochoa et al., 2023), it degraded 90% of fructans within 30 minutes while preserving short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) and butyrate production — unlike a strict low-FODMAP diet, which depletes SCFAs critical for colonic microbiome health. In an IRB-approved clinical cohort study independently analyzed at SUNY Downstate (Kaye et al., 2026), 78% of participants reported improvement in bloating and flatulence from FODMAP ingestion after 4 weeks, with significant improvements in quality of life and mental well-being (all P<.01).

Our current formula effectively breaks down the FODMAPs fructan (e.g., garlic, onion, wheat, ...), GOS (e.g., legumes, nuts), and lactose (e.g., dairy products). We are actively developing a solution for polyols (e.g., apple, avocado, mushrooms) such as sorbitol and mannitol.

Tasteless Formulation
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
FODZYME® is formulated as a tasteless powder to ensure maximum contact between its digestive enzymes and FODMAP-containing foods, allowing for more effective breakdown of FODMAPs during digestion. Unlike capsules, the powder mixes directly with food, optimizing enzyme performance and supporting better digestive relief.
Our formulation consists of clinically and scientifically studied microbial enzymes characterized at both academic institutions, and research partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is FODZYME®?
What exactly is FODZYME®?
Founded by an IBS sufferer, FODZYME® is a tasteless enzyme powder that breaks down FODMAPs — fermentable carbohydrates that trigger bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. It contains three active enzymes: fructan hydrolase (the first commercially available enzyme targeting fructans in garlic, onion, and wheat), alpha-galactosidase (for GOS in beans and legumes), and lactase (for lactose in dairy). FODZYME® is mixed directly with food before eating, manufactured in the USA, and independently certified low-FODMAP by Monash University
What ingredients does FODZYME® contain?
What ingredients does FODZYME® contain?
- Fructan Hydrolase: One of FODZYME’s core innovations, this enzyme helps break down fructans and inulin found in foods like garlic, onions, and wheat.
- Alpha-galactosidase: Targets GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides) present in beans and legumes, aiding digestion.
- Lactase: Simplifies the digestion of lactose, commonly found in dairy products.
- Dextrin: Sourced from non-GMO maize/corn, used to stabilize the enzymes, ensuring they remain effective throughout digestion.
Contains no GMOs, gluten, milk, egg, casein, soy, or artificial colors or flavors.
Is FODZYME® allergen-friendly?
Is FODZYME® allergen-friendly?
Yes, FODZYME® is:
- Certified low FODMAP by Monash University and FODMAP Friendly
- Vegan-friendly
- Non-GMO
- Gluten-free
- Dairy-free
- Soy-free
- Egg-free
- Casein-free
- Free from artificial colors and flavors
- Manufactured in the USA with global ingredients
- Certified Kosher by Kosher Supervision of America (KSA)
What foods does FODZYME® help digest?
What foods does FODZYME® help digest?
FODZYME® targets three primary FODMAP groups—fructans, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), and lactose—which are common triggers for digestive discomfort. Its enzyme blend works on foods like garlic, onions, wheat, beans, lentils, dairy products, and certain vegetables, breaking these FODMAPs into easily digestible sugars.
Key Food Groups Supported and Example Foods:
- Fructans:Garlic, onions, leeks, wheat, barley, asparagus, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, and cashews.
- GOS:Chickpeas, lentils, black beans, red kidney beans, soy milk (whole bean), pistachios, and oats.
- Lactose:Milk, yogurt, ice cream, soft cheeses (ricotta, cottage cheese), and cream.
How do I take FODZYME®?
How do I take FODZYME®?
- Mix Directly:Mix FODZYME® directly or apply evenly on meals. It’s tasteless.
- Alternate Method:If you can’t mix, sprinkle FODZYME® and chew with the first bite.
- Adjust Dosage:Dosage is personal—double the dose if extra sensitive or for large meals.
- Temperature Note:Allow hot foods to cool slightly before applying (below 140 °F / 60 °C). As a rule of thumb, adding FODZYME® is okay if the meal is cool enough that it won’t burn.
- Enjoy:Chew well and enjoy your meal!
How is FODZYME® different from other digestive enzymes?
How is FODZYME® different from other digestive enzymes?
Most digestive enzyme supplements contain proteases, lipases, and amylases that target proteins, fats, and starches — not FODMAPs, which are the primary dietary triggers of digestive symptoms like bloating, gas, and pain. FODZYME® is the first enzyme supplement specifically formulated to break down FODMAPs. Its proprietary fructan hydrolase targets fructans found in garlic, onion, and wheat, while alpha-galactosidase targets GOS in beans and legumes, and lactase targets lactose in dairy.
FODZYME® is a powder rather than a capsule, ensuring direct enzyme-food contact during digestion. In a peer-reviewed study, this approach degraded up to 90% of fructans within 30 minutes (Castro Ochoa et al., Gastro Hep Advances, 2023). A 2026 clinical cohort study found 78% of participants reported improvement in bloating from FODMAP ingestion after 4 weeks (Kaye et al., Gastro Hep Advances, 2026; P<.01). It is the only enzyme supplement certified low-FODMAP by both Monash University and FODMAP Friendly.
How quickly does FODZYME® work? When will I feel something?
How quickly does FODZYME® work? When will I feel something?
FODZYME® begins breaking down FODMAPs immediately upon contact with food. In a peer-reviewed study (Castro Ochoa et al., Gastro Hep Advances, 2023), it degraded up to 90% of fructans within 30 minutes under simulated gastric conditions. This rapid action breaks down FODMAPs in the stomach and upper small intestine — before they reach the colon where bacterial fermentation causes bloating and gas.
Most users notice the absence of their usual symptoms 4–8 hours after a FODMAP-rich meal, consistent with normal gastrointestinal transit time. In an IRB-approved clinical study (Kaye et al., Gastro Hep Advances, 2026), 78% of participants reported improvement in bloating and flatulence from FODMAP ingestion after 4 weeks (P<.01).

Will FODZYME® interfere with my medications?
Will FODZYME® interfere with my medications?
FODZYME® is generally considered safe to use alongside most medications, as its enzymes work specifically on FODMAPs in the digestive tract. However, it’s always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting any new supplement—especially if you’re taking prescription medications.
Individual responses can vary. If you notice any unusual symptoms or changes in medication effectiveness, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider immediately.
Is FODZYME® a cure for conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
Is FODZYME® a cure for conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
No. FODZYME® is a digestive enzyme supplement, not a cure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or any medical condition. It works by breaking down specific FODMAP carbohydrates in food during digestion, which may reduce symptoms triggered by those foods — including bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. FODZYME® does not address the underlying causes of IBS.
If you have been diagnosed with IBS or suspect you have a digestive disorder, consult a gastroenterologist or registered dietitian. FODZYME® can be used alongside medical treatment and the low-FODMAP diet as directed by your healthcare provider.
Why is FODZYME® a powder instead of a capsule?
Why is FODZYME® a powder instead of a capsule?
FODZYME®’s powdered format mixes directly with your food for instant action on FODMAPs—no waiting for a capsule to dissolve. This allows for:
- More immediate breakdown of problematic carbs.
- Flexible dosing based on your meal’s FODMAP content.
- Even distribution for better overall effectiveness in reducing digestive discomfort.
Is FODZYME® safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Is FODZYME® safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
FODZYME®’s enzymes work on your food without entering your body, making it a low-risk option. However, because studies on pregnant or breastfeeding women are limited for ethical reasons, there’s no concrete evidence it’s unsafe—but it’s best to consult your physician before use.
Keep in mind that a low FODMAP diet isn’t generally advised during pregnancy due to potential nutritional restrictions, so always prioritize a nutrient-rich diet. Rest assured that all ingredients are GRAS-certified and undergo rigorous third-party testing for safety and quality
