FODMATE capsules by Microbiome Labs provide a targeted digestive enzyme blend for selected carbohydrates in everyday meals. This 120-capsule formula combines inulinase and pectinase with lactase and alpha-galactosidase, rather than focusing only on milk sugar or bean carbohydrates.

Designed for short-term support, FODMATE helps with FODMAP digestion as part of an individualized eating plan. FODMAPs are fermentable carbohydrates found in many foods, but different enzymes work on different carbohydrate structures. This formula does not mean every FODMAP or every food will be well tolerated.

Key FODMATE 120c Benefits

• Supports digestive comfort around meals by helping break down selected fermentable carbohydrates rather than broadly eliminating carbohydrate-containing foods.
• Provides lactase to assist milk-sugar digestion alongside enzymes that act on specific carbohydrates in plant foods.
• Combines complementary carbohydrate-focused enzymes in one formula for targeted meal support.
• Offers short-term dietary support alongside a practitioner-guided plan that accounts for individual food tolerance.

How FODMATE 120c Works

Digestive enzymes cut specific bonds in food molecules. Inulinase acts on inulin-type fructans, lactase splits lactose, and alpha-galactosidase acts on certain carbohydrates found in legumes. Pectinase contributes a different function by breaking down pectin, a component of plant cell walls.

Because these enzymes have distinct targets, matching the formula to the foods you eat matters. FODMATE is an enzyme supplement, not a probiotic or a replacement for a varied diet. Its purpose is targeted carbohydrate breakdown, not supplying beneficial bacteria.

Key Functional Ingredients Include:

• Endo- and Exo-Inulinase: Break down inulin-type fructan chains at internal bonds and from their ends. These complementary actions reduce the size of those carbohydrate chains, explaining their role in this targeted formula without implying that all fermentable carbohydrates are digested.
• Pectinase: Breaks down pectin, the structural carbohydrate found in plant cell walls. Its substrate differs from lactose and the carbohydrates targeted by alpha-galactosidase, adding a distinct plant-carbohydrate function to the blend rather than duplicating the other enzymes.
• Lactase: Splits lactose, the sugar in milk, into glucose and galactose for digestion. This milk-sugar-specific action complements the plant-carbohydrate enzymes. It does not break down milk proteins or make dairy appropriate for someone with a milk allergy.
• Alpha-Galactosidase: Helps break down certain galactose-containing carbohydrates, including raffinose-family sugars found in beans. Acting on these food carbohydrates helps limit the amount left available for gas-producing fermentation, supporting the formula's meal-related digestive purpose.
