Alfa-Galactosidasa
La Alfa-Galactosidasa es una enzima que descompone carbohidratos complejos, específicamente azúcares que contienen galactosa, en azúcares más simples. Se utiliza comúnmente para ayudar a la digestión y reducir el gas, la hinchazón y el malestar causados por el consumo de legumbres, verduras crucíferas y otros alimentos ricos en galactosa.
Resumen de Efectividad y Riesgos
Condición | Efectividad | Detalles |
|---|---|---|
| Hinchazón | Alpha-Galactosidase breaks down complex carbohydrates, reducing gas production and bloating. Clinical studies have shown significant reduction in bloating symptoms. | |
| Flatulencia/Gas | By breaking down oligosaccharides, alpha-galactosidase reduces gas production, thereby alleviating flatulence. Multiple clinical trials support its efficacy. | |
| Síndrome del Intestino Irritable (SII) | Some studies suggest that alpha-galactosidase can reduce symptoms of IBS, such as bloating and gas, by improving digestion of certain carbohydrates. However, evidence is not uniform across all studies. | |
| Indigestión | Alpha-galactosidase aids in the digestion of beans, cabbage, and broccoli, reducing discomfort and indigestion associated with these foods. Evidence from clinical studies is positive but varies in strength. | |
| Disbiosis Intestinal | While primarily used for reducing gas, there's some evidence suggesting alpha-galactosidase may help in managing gut dysbiosis by improving carbohydrate digestion, though more research is needed. | |
| Interfiere con los medicamentos para la diabetes. | La Alfa-Galactosidasa puede interferir con la absorción de ciertos medicamentos para la diabetes, como la acarbosa, que funciona inhibiendo la descomposición de carbohidratos complejos. Tomar Alfa-Galactosidasa con estos medicamentos puede reducir su eficacia. |
