Don’t let occasional bloating and gas affect your daily life!
Feeling bloated, constipated or dealing with embarrassing gas are more than just physical discomforts—they can disrupt your entire day, leaving you feeling uneasy and self-conscious. Whether it’s an important meeting, a social event, or simply going about your day, digestive issues can make you feel very unconformable, both physically as mentally. Intoleran helps you manage digestive distractions, so you can feel more comfortable, confident, and ready to take on your day.
Starch, sucrose and maltose
Starch is a complex carbohydrate found in grain products, potatoes and pasta. It is also present in other grain-based foods like pasta, corn, legumes and processed foods such as biscuits, chocolate, chips, breaded meat products and snacks.
Sucrose, also known as saccharose or table sugar, is found in fruits such as apples, bananas, mangoes, pears, oranges, watermelon and in processed foods where sugar has been added, like biscuits and sauces.
Maltose, sometimes called malt sugar, is a carbohydrate formed when starch is broken down during digestion or food processing. It is naturally found in malted grains, beer and some cereals, and can also be present in foods such as breads, crackers, breakfast cereals and other starch-based processed foods.
Digestion of starch and sucrose in the body
Starch consists of two long chains of linked carbohydrate molecules. The digestive enzyme Gluco-Amylase breaks down starch in the small intestine into smaller sugars, making them easier to digest. If there is an insufficient amount of Gluco-Amylase, starch cannot be effectively broken down, leading to reduced absorption in the small intestine.
Sucrose is composed of two linked carbohydrate molecules: glucose and fructose. The Invertase enzyme in the intestines splits sucrose into glucose and fructose, allowing the intestinal wall to absorb them. If there is a deficiency of the Invertase enzyme, sucrose cannot be split and thus cannot be adequately absorbed in the small intestine.
Maltose is composed of two linked glucose molecules and is formed during the breakdown of starch. The Maltase enzyme in the small intestine splits maltose into individual glucose molecules so they can be absorbed by the body. If there is a deficiency of the Maltase enzyme, maltose may not be fully digested, which can contribute to digestive discomfort and reduced carbohydrate absorption.
Starchway capsules from Intoleran
Starchway contains a powerful enzyme blend of Gluco-Amylase, Invertase and Maltase, which helps reduce occasional gas, bloating and discomfort associated with starch, sucrose and maltose intolerance.* These enzymes help break down complex carbohydrates and sugars into smaller molecules that are easier for the body to absorb. Our products are developed with great care and attention by our in-house dietitians. For the composition of our products, we use only the necessary ingredients, therefore our products are pure, free of gluten and soy, and of high quality. Starchway is Low FODMAP Certified™ by Monash University.
Directions for use: Take one capsule with liquid (or twist open capsule and place contents in liquid and stir) immediately before eating/drinking a product containing either sucrose and/or starch. Lasts for approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Maximum of 15 capsules daily (for instances of severe food intolerance, taking 2 to 3 capsules can be safely tried if not a sufficient response from 1 capsule, although not commonly required).
Contains per capsule: Invertase 17,000 IU (85mg), Glucoamylase 60 AGU (54.5mg), Amylase 30,000 DU (230.8mg), Maltase 300DP (3mg). Excipients: calcium carbonate, dextrose. HPMC capsule suitable for vegetarians. The enzyme Invertase is derived from the yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. Glucoamylase is derived from the mould Aspergillus Niger.
Please note, sucrose, maltose and starch are not part of the FODMAP group, but are carbohydrates that people can be intolerant too similarly to the FODMAPs.
