Product Information

Optizyme is a blend of digestive enzymes. Contains alpha-galactosidase that helps reduce gas production/flatulence following a meal rich in fermentable carbohydrates (such as vegetables, pulses/legumes/beans and whole grains) and prevent gastrointestinal intolerance of oligosaccharides/fermentable carbohydrates.

Suggested Use:

Adults - Take 1 capsule with or after meals, three times a day, or as directed by a health care practitioner.

Headache, heartburn, bloating and hypersensitivity (eg. allergy) have been known to occur; in which case, discontinue use. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea have been known to occur, in which case discontinue use (and consult a health care practitioner).
