Fibractase – enzyme support for fructans and galactans

What are fructans?

What are fructans? Fructans are carbohydrates that belong to the FODMAP group. They occur naturally in various plant-based foods and are less well tolerated by some people. That is why many people seek information about fructans, FODMAP and FODMAP fructans, especially when they want to be more conscious about their diet.

Where are fructans found?

A frequently asked question is: where are fructans found? Fructans are found in wheat, onions, garlic, leeks, artichokes and certain grains, among other foods. People often search online for a list of fructans to gain a better understanding of foods that require attention within a FODMAP-conscious diet.

Fructans in the FODMAP diet

A FODMAP-conscious approach looks at different groups of carbohydrates, including fructans and galactans. People who follow a low FODMAP diet often pay attention to portion sizes and personal tolerance. Fructans play an important role in this, as they are found in many everyday products.

Fructan intolerance & galactan intolerance

With fructan intolerance or galactan intolerance, the body may have difficulty processing these carbohydrates. Many people seek information about fructan intolerance symptoms to better understand how their body reacts to certain foods. Recognising personal sensitivities is essential here.

Fibractase contains the enzyme Alpha Galactosidase, which helps digest difficult-to-digest carbohydrates* such as fructans and galactans and reduces the risk of gas formation.* The product contains specific enzymes that fit within a FODMAP-conscious diet and is often used around meals that may contain fructans or galactans.

Digestive enzymes play a role in breaking down carbohydrates in food. When this breakdown is not optimal, it can be unpleasant. Enzyme supplements such as Fibractase are used as a supplement to the diet, in combination with conscious food choices.

Fibractase from Intoleran is developed in accordance with European legislation for food supplements and contains carefully selected enzymes, without unnecessary additives. The product is suitable for people who want to tailor their diet to fructans and galactans within a FODMAP-conscious diet.
