Fructose
Fructose, colloquially called fruit sugar, is a sugar that is contained naturally in fruit and many vegetables, but also for example in honey.
Glucose isomerase is an enzyme. It can facilitate the conversion fructose into glucose.
A large amount of fructose is contained in many fruits, fruit juices, soft drinks, as well as pastries and confectionery. Fructose is also contained in foods that are sweetened with table sugar (sucrose) or contain it naturally and in foods that are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
This is a rare hereditary enzyme defect. Those affected can absorb fructose normally from the small intestine, but they cannot metabolize it in the liver. Fructaid is not intended for use in hereditary fructose intolerance.
Fructaid®
Fructaid contains the enzyme glucose isomerase. In the small intestine, it promotes the conversion of fructose into easily absorbable glucose (grape sugar).
Fructaid contains the enzyme glucose isomerase. This enzyme is manufactured with the aid of bacteria, so it is of microbial origin.
Other Ingredients are: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Trehalose, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Shellac, Triacetin, Titanium Dioxide.
All these ingredients of Fructaid are also of non-animal origin.
Fructaid is therefore lactose free and vegan.
Fructaid is also gluten free.
Fructaid® is a patented dietary supplement formulated to provide relief for common digestive complaints associated with fructose consumption. Fructaid® is available as easy-to-swallow capsules in a convenient small container.
Fructaid® should be taken with liquid approximately 5 minutes before consuming fructose containing foods and drinks.
Fructaid should be taken with liquid approximately 5 minutes before consuming fructose containing foods and drinks.
Yes, this is possible.
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, consult your doctor before taking Fructaid®.
Yes, but children under 6 years of age or who cannot safely swallow capsules should not take unopened Fructaid capsules due to risk of choking.
As the body’s capacity to take up fructose in the small intestine differs from one individual to another, we recommend 1 to 4 capsules of Fructaid® approximately 5 minutes before consuming food and drinks that contain fructose, depending on the individual’s needs. The number of Fructaid® capsules required also depends on other factors, such as the fructose content and amount and composition of the meal, snack or drink consumed. Because of these factors, one cannot specify exactly how much Fructaid® any one individual will need to promote healthy digestion of fructose. For those who are just beginning to use Fructaid® enzyme supplement, try starting with 2 capsules and adjust according to your individual needs and food choices.
No, Fructaid does not have any effect on sorbitol intolerance.
As the body’s capacity to take up fructose in the small intestine differs from one individual to another and the number of Fructaid capsules required also depends on other factors, such as the fructose content and the amount and composition of the meal/food consumed, one cannot specify how much fructose can be converted by one capsule of Fructaid. In general we recommend 1 to 4 capsules depending on individual circumstances approximately 5 minutes before consuming food and drinks that contain fructose.
You should consult your doctor before using Fructaid.
