FODMATE™ is a new enzyme blend designed for short-term use to support the digestive system in digesting foods high in FODMAPs and to reduce bloating, flatulence, mild abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation that may occur when digesting such foods.

FODMAP is an abbreviation of the English words fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. FODMAP nutrients are fermentable (fermentable) fibers and short carbohydrates that are not well absorbed in the digestive tract. However, many FODMAPs are good for the growth of good intestinal bacteria promoting prebiotics, which under normal circumstances are necessary for the body and support the microbiome, but what may need to be avoided on a short-term diet because they are difficult to digest.

FODMAP type carbohydrates are found in:

As oligosaccharides (fructans and galactooligosaccharides) in wheat, rye, legumes, many fruits and vegetables, e.g. onions and garlic;

As disaccharides in milk, yogurt and soft cheese (this also includes lactose or milk sugar);

As monosaccharides in various fruits, such as apples, peaches, grapes, avocados, cherries, prunes and sweeteners such as honey or agave syrup. Fructose is the main culprit here;

As polyols (sorbitol, mannitol) in various fruits and vegetables, e.g. wild berries and litchis; in low-calorie sugar substitutes, chewing gums.

So, eating them can cause the following symptoms:

• bloating in the stomach
• short-term abdominal pain
• constipation
• diarrhea
• gases

A low-FODMAP diet is often used as a short-term solution in such cases.  However, this is only a short-term diet and people often have difficulty following such a strict diet exactly. In addition, such a diet can affect the microbiome because it does not contain the beneficial fibers that the microbiome needs. Therefore, the intake of such soluble fibers cannot be restricted in the long term.

FODMATE helps solve these problems by providing the following features:

• Digestive enzymes that are specifically designed to promote the digestion of FODMAP type foods
• Helps reduce digestive problems without having to use a very strict and restrictive diet
• Improves the effectiveness of the low FODMAP diet
• Enables the long-term consumption of plant foods with a high content of nutrients and antioxidants.
