For the Love of Enzymes

(Most) Enzymes are proteins that accelerates chemical reactions.

proteins.

Proteins are found throughout all living organisms. About 10,000 different proteins (including enzymes) make up what we are as humans and keep us alive.

why enzymes.

Enzymes can be used to clean the environment, to make life saving drugs, to make the clothes we wear and, in our case, to make food a painless experiences.

what affects an enzymes activity:

  • pH is optimal
  • temperature is optimal substrate concentration
  • homogenous mix of enzyme and food

Degrading FODMAPs with Enzymes

what are FODMAPs?

Since the discovery of FODMAPs, clinicians and medical researchers came up with the low-FODMAP diet as the best solution for FODMAP intolerance.

why us.

We are developing enzymes, similar to Lactaid for dairy products, but for FODMAPs. Starting with the FODMAP fructan, present in garlic, onion, wheat, banana among many (many) other foods

problems with the low FODMAP diet:

  • very hard to follow
  • leads to eating disorders
  • leads to nutritional deficiencies

maximum enzyme activity.

We designed FODZYME to operate in

  • the right body temperature
  • the stomach pH
  • novel chewable tablets or powder form to protect the enzymes and maximize substrate concentration

Clinical Validation

effectiveness.

While our ingredients are clinically validated... we strive to validate the effectiveness of our products under the highest scientific standards.

in-house.

we have performed in-house clinical experiments with promising results

clinical trials.

We are working with World-class researchers to evaluate the efficacy of FODZYME in a series of clinical trials

safety.

FODZYME's ingredients and natural enzymes and are Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

third-party Testing.

We perform third-party testing for pathogens and heavy metals

scientific advisory board.

we are a Harvard-trained founders we are advised by experts ranging from enzymology, biotechnology, nutrition and gastroenterology

Research & Development

science rocks.

Unlike others who merely recombine existing ingredients with little to no science to back it, we make new and better ones

novel enzyme.

For those of you who are sensitive to polyols (the "P" in FODMAPs), we are working on a novel enzyme that degrades mannitol and/or sorbitol
