Starchway – enzyme support for starch and sucrose

What is starch and where is it found?

Starch is a carbohydrate found in many everyday foods, such as potatoes, rice, pasta, bread and cereals. During digestion, the body breaks down starch into smaller sugars. When this process does not proceed optimally, people often refer to starch intolerance or starch sensitivity. That is why there is a great deal of interest in information about starch in relation to nutrition, digestion and digestive enzymes.

What is starch intolerance and carbohydrate sensitivity?

Starch intolerance means that the body has difficulty processing starchy products. Some people also search for terms such as starch allergy or allergic to starch. In practice, this usually refers to a sensitivity or reduced digestion of carbohydrates, rather than a medical allergy. Recognising personal tolerance plays an important role here.

What is sucrose?

A frequently asked question is: what is sucrose? Sucrose is a disaccharide (double sugar), also known as table sugar. It consists of glucose and fructose and is found in sugar, sweets, cakes and processed foods, among other things. The digestion of sucrose requires specific enzyme activity in the digestive tract.

Starch and sucrose within FODMAPs

Starch and sucrose are often mentioned in relation to FODMAPs and carbohydrate sensitivity. A FODMAP-conscious diet takes into account the composition of carbohydrates, portion size and individual tolerance. People who are sensitive to multiple carbohydrates therefore often opt for extra digestive support.

Starchway as a starch and sucrose enzyme

Starchway is an enzyme supplement developed to support the digestion of starch and sucrose. The product contains specific digestive enzymes that are used as a dietary supplement, particularly with meals that contain starch- or sucrose-rich ingredients.

Digestive enzymes play a role in breaking down carbohydrates in food. Enzyme supplements such as Starchway are used by people who want to tailor their diet more consciously to their personal sensitivities, in combination with a varied and balanced diet.

Starchway 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 adjust their diet to accommodate starch and sucrose sensitivity and who value quality and transparency.
