Get Beano Online

Beano contains alpha-galactosidase, a natural enzyme that breaks down the complex carbohydrates found in beans, lentils, and vegetables such as raffinose and stachyose. By digesting these sugars in the small intestine before they reach the colon, Beano prevents the bacterial fermentation process that produces gas and bloating.

Beano is most effective when taken with the first bite of a gas-producing meal. Taking it after the meal or after symptoms begin is much less effective, because the enzyme needs to be present in the digestive tract at the same time as the complex carbohydrates.

For most healthy adults, daily use of Beano before meals is considered safe. However, people with galactosemia (a rare metabolic disorder) should not use alpha-galactosidase products, as they can release galactose. Your Doctronic physician will review your health history before recommending use.

Beano is specifically effective for gas and bloating caused by fermentable carbohydrates in plant-based foods. It is not designed to treat bloating related to lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or other gastrointestinal conditions, which may require different treatments.

Beano works best with foods high in raffinose-type sugars, including dried beans, lentils, chickpeas, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, onions, and whole grains. Pairing it with these foods before eating is where patients typically see the greatest benefit.

If alpha-galactosidase alone does not fully control symptoms, a physician may consider combining it with simethicone (Mylicon) to relieve gas already formed, a probiotic to improve gut flora balance, or a fiber supplement like psyllium (Metamucil) to support overall digestive regularity. Dietary adjustments are also an important part of management.
