What it is

Alpha-Galactosidase (Bean Enzyme) is a enzyme & digestive supplement. Alpha-galactosidase is a digestive enzyme (the 'Beano' enzyme) that breaks down hard-to-digest oligosaccharides in beans and vegetables. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

How it works

Taken with the first bite, it hydrolyses raffinose-family oligosaccharides (raffinose, stachyose) before gut bacteria can ferment them into gas, preventing bloating. Effects are dose-dependent and typically measurable within acute, same meal.

Who should take it

Adults who get gas/bloating from beans, lentils, and cruciferous vegetables.

Avoid / careful

Take with the meal (not after). Avoid in galactosaemia. Generally very safe.

Frequently asked

Can I take alpha-galactosidase after eating?

What foods is alpha-galactosidase most useful for?
It is primarily used for foods high in oligosaccharides, such as beans (kidney, black, pinto), lentils, peas, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.
Are there any side effects?
Alpha-galactosidase is generally very safe. The main contraindication is for individuals with galactosaemia. Side effects are rare and typically mild if they occur.
