About ALPHA GALACTOSIDASE
ALPHA GALACTOSIDASE belongs to the 'digestive enzymes' class, which generally relieves flatulence, bloating, and belching. Flatulence is the movement of gas from the digestive system through the back passage. Bloating is the swelling or sensation of fullness in the belly caused by gas in the stomach and intestines. Belching is the expulsion of extra wind from the mouth into the stomach or upper intestine.
ALPHA GALACTOSIDASE comprises Alpha Galactosidase. Alpha Galactosidase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down starch into simple sugars to easily digest starch, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Thus it helps relieve the symptoms of flatulence, bloating, and belching.

Medicinal Benefits
ALPHA GALACTOSIDASE comprises Alpha Galactosidase. Alpha Galactosidase is included in ALPHA GALACTOSIDASE. Alpha Galactosidase is a digestive enzyme that converts starch into simple sugars, allowing starch, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins to be readily digested. As the amount of enzyme diminishes with age or for any reason, these various nutrients are destroyed by intestinal bacteria, resulting in increased generation of intestinal gas, which causes pain and bloating.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Please take foods rich in probiotics such as yoghurt/curd, kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, kimchi, miso, kombucha, buttermilk, natto, and cheese.
- Eat fibre-rich foods to promote digestion.
- Avoid eating too much, eating too fast, eating high-fat foods, or eating during stressful situations that can burden your stomach.
- Eating small meals at regular intervals so the stomach does not have to work as hard or as long.
- Smoking can irritate the stomach lining; hence please avoid it.
- Sleep with your head elevated (at least 6 inches) above your feet, and use pillows. This helps digestive juices flow into the intestines rather than the oesophagus.
Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Flatulence: Flatulence is the movement of gas from the digestive system through the back passage. It is caused due to overeating, swallowing more amount of air, smoking, and foods that cause excess gas, like beans, lentils, dairy products, and carbonated drinks. Symptoms include belching/burping, stomach cramps, increased abdomen size, and chest pain.
Bloating: Bloating is the swelling or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen due to gas in the stomach and intestines. Symptoms of bloating include stomach pain, discomfort, and gas. Bloating makes a person burp or belch. It is usually caused due to problem foods that produce more gas and lactose intolerance.
Belching: The discharge of excess wind from the mouth into the stomach or upper intestine is known as belching. The majority of belching is caused by swallowing too much air. This air rarely reaches the stomach and instead accumulates in the oesophagus.
