How it works
Hemicellulase functions by hydrolyzing the beta-1,4 linkages in hemicellulose, a component of dietary fiber. This enzymatic action facilitates the digestion of otherwise indigestible plant material in the gastrointestinal tract, potentially reducing gas and bloating.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address bloating, indigestion, irregular bowel movements. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
