Enzyme for Fructose

[tummyache]

Went to reorder my Kirkman's Carb Digest with Isogest that helps me with my wheat sensitivity and saw their new product, which covers fructose ....thought it worth our at least taking a look at as a group and see what you think [probably more for FM, but might help someone]:

Maximum Spectrum Enzym-Complete/DPP-IV™ Fruit Free w/Isogest®
Product Form: Vegetarian Capsules
Product Class: Enzymes
Primary Use: Provides complete spectrum, highest potency, digestive enzyme with isomalase/palatinase activity.

www.kirkmangroup.com/index.php/products/kirkman-products/enzymes/maximum-spectrum-enzym-ddp.html


Provides a comprehensive range of digestive enzymes along with isomaltase/palatinase activity. Free of
common allergens. Gluten and casein free. 120 vegetarian capsules. Purity Tested®.

Kirkman’s Maximum Spectrum Enzym-Complete/DPPIV™ Fruit Free w/Isogest® capsules are free of fruit derived enzymes, such as bromelain, kiwi and papaya that can occasionally cause issues for some sensitive individuals.

This product differs from Kirkman’s EnZym-Complete/DPP-IV™ II with Isogest® by including additional disaccharidase enzyme activity to more completely break down complex disaccharides and carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, to the monosaccharides glucose and fructose.

Like EnZym-Complete/DPP-IV™ II with Isogest®, it is a comprehensive multiple enzyme formulation that acts on all food groups. In addition to the carbohydrase enzymes, it contains proteases, peptidases, lipase, cellulase, phytase and amylases for complete digestive support.


Disaccharidase enzymes in the product with increased concentrations include: lactase for additional lactose digestion; alpha-galactosidase for additional maltose digestion; glucoamylase for polysaccharide and starch digestion; and Isogest®, Kirkman’s exclusive specialty enzyme for addressing isomaltase insufficiency and carbohydrate digestion.

It sounds like it might be more beneficial for people with fructose malabsorption than HFI.

[antonia]

This does sound more applicable for those with malabsorption issues. I wouldn’t take enzymes that are designed to improve digestion of carbohydrates or sugars for fear that they would increase the absorption of fructose from non digestible fibers such a fructans, etc. We want those to pass on through.
