- Sensitive to high-FODMAP foods like garlic, onion, or wheat? FODZYME breaks down the FODMAPs fructan, GOS and lactose so you can enjoy delicious and nutritious foods with confidence
- Developed by Harvard graduates, life-changing results through a targeted approach — a blend of natural and highly-specialized digestive enzymes (enzimas digestivas) that break down the most common gut symptom triggers like FODMAPs, including lactose, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), and fructans
- Patent-pending formula with fructan hydrolase enzyme — binds specifically to fructans and break them down to simple easy-to-digest fructose and glucose molecules
- Scientifically-validated — tested in a multi-compartment model of the human gut and microbiome and published in a peer-reviewed journal
- All ingredients are sourced from a US-based manufacturer. They are mixed and packed in a US-based cGMP FDA-registered facility.

What is FODZYME?
FODZYME is the first solution to target FODMAPs – the biggest gut troublemakers for people with gut sensitivities.
Will FODZYME work for me?
What’s the difference between Home Kit and On-the-Go Kit?
The stick packs contain a more potent dose than the scoop inside the Home Kit. We boosted the dose for the stick packs because eating out can be slightly unpredictable!

How do I take FODZYME?
Sprinkle one dose of FODZYME powder on your problem food or chew with the first bite. Take a second dose if continuing to eat after 30 minutes.

Kiwi Biosciences is a human-centered biotechnology company based in Cambridge, MA devoted to developing elegant scientific solutions for extraordinary gut relief.
Kiwi Bio is led by Harvard-trained founders Anjie Liu and David Hachuel who understand firsthand how much the IBS community needs FODZYME.
FODZYME is Kiwi Bio’s first product; in development still are novel enzymes to tackle additional FODMAP groups like mannitol and sorbitol.

Product Description
FODZYME is a unique enzyme blend that helps you digest foods high in the FODMAPs fructan, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), and lactose
Enjoy garlic, onion, wheat, and more with confidence!
1 in 3 humans cannot eat these foods without feeling like crap…most DON’T EVEN KNOW why.
FODZYME’s novel patent-pending enzyme works as you digest your meal by breaking down the FODMAPs fructan, GOS, and lactose into simple sugars, that are quickly absorbed in the small intestine. This effectively reduces the amount of FODMAPs in your gut.
When sprinkled on or mixed with high-FODMAP meals, FODZYME powder helps you savor every bite.
FODMAP FACTS:
- FODMAPs are short-chain carbohydrates that move through our bodies undigested
- They function as healthy prebiotic fibers and promote good gut bacteria
- In some people, FODMAPs can trigger gut symptoms like abdominal pain, constipation, excessive gas, bloating, and diarrhea
ENZYME FACTS:
- You can think of enzymes as specialized molecular scissors
- Digestive enzymes are a subtype of enzymes that act on food, not the human body
- Specialized enzymes, like the ones in FODZYME, can help break down FODMAPs in foods helping reduce digestive discomfort
FODZYME is Monash University Low FODMAP Certified and FODMAP Friendly.

One serve of this product is low in FODMAPs and can assist with following the Monash University Low FODMAP Diet. A strict low FODMAP diet should only be commenced under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Monash University has assessed this product as being low in FODMAPs only. A low FODMAP diet does not treat a disease but may help to meet nutritional needs with reduced gastrointestinal symptoms. Monash University receives a licence fee for use of the Monash University Low FODMAP Certified trade marks. FODZYME was certified low FODMAP by Monash University in 2022.

A supplement for your food, not your body
Based on a peer-reviewed in-vitro experiment, FODZYME reduces FODMAP content in common foods
- ~90% of a test fructan amount was degraded within 30 minutes
- 70% of fructose was absorbed during the simulated small intestinal transit, thus reducing gas
- SCFA production is lower but preserved with FODZYME
The results of the study were published in 2022:
Castro Ochoa, K., Samant, S., Liu, A., Duysburgh, C., Marzorati, M., Singh, P., Hachuel, D., Chey, W. and Wallach, T. (2022). In-Vitro Efficacy of Targeted FODMAP Enzymatic Digestion (FODZYME) in a High-Fidelity Simulated Gastrointestinal Environment. Gastro Hep Advances.
A powder blend that degrades the FODMAPs fructan, GOS, and lactose
TARGETED FORMULA
We created a three-enzyme formula targeting lactose, GOS, and fructan, including a wide-spectrum fructan hydrolase. The only addition is dextrin as a stabilizer to ensure enzymes stay active as long as possible.
MAXIMUM POW(D)ER
One sprinkle that can change your life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IF I’M NEW TO THE LOW FODMAP DIET?
Sprinkle 1 dose of FODZYME on the foods you were planning on eating anyway and see if there’s a change in your gut symptoms. * Please keep in mind, FODZYME does not yet target polyols.
WHAT IF I KNOW MY TRIGGERS?
Start with a small serving of one trigger food with 1 dose of FODZYME. If you feel well, increase the portion or add another trigger the next day. Then, try a full meal with multiple triggers.
