Alpha Galactosidase Legumes
Alpha galactosidase for legumes breaks down gas-causing oligosaccharides at meals—a optional aid alongside soaking and gradual portions.
Alpha galactosidase for legumes is an enzyme—often in OTC products like Beano—that breaks down raffinose and stachyose before they reach the colon, reducing gas for some people at bean-heavy meals. Take with the first bite of legumes; it is a symptom tool, not a license to skip soaking or portion ramps.

Common questions
-
Should athletes rely on Beano instead of soaking beans?
Soaking, rinsing, and smaller portions come first; enzymes help occasional large meals. Chronic dependence without fiber ramps can mask tolerance you could build with food prep.
