About
Alpha-galactosidase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down complex sugars (raffinose, stachyose, verbascose) found in beans, cruciferous vegetables, and legumes that human enzymes cannot digest. By breaking down these oligosaccharides before they reach the colon, it may help prevent the bacterial fermentation that causes gas and bloating. Research suggests it may reduce gas symptoms from high-fiber foods by 50-70%.
How It Works
Hydrolyzes alpha-1,6-galactosidic bonds in raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose oligosaccharides found in legumes and cruciferous vegetables that human alpha-galactosidase cannot cleave; helps break down these undigested sugars before they reachthe colon where bacterial fermentation produces hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane gas.

Side Effects
- Generally very well-tolerated
- Rare allergic reactions to mold-derived enzyme (Aspergillus source)
- May cause mild GI discomfort in rare cases
Drug & Supplement Interactions
- Acarbose (alpha-galactosidase may counteract the blood sugar-lowering mechanism of acarbose; contraindicated for concurrent use)
- Miglitol (similar mechanism conflict as acarbose)
