Quatrase 10,000 contains a special blend of high-dose digestive enzymes that help break down hard-to-digest carbohydrates and sugars (FODMAPs). FODMAP is a collective term for several types of fermentable carbohydrates (sugars) that are difficult to digest. FODMAPs include carbohydrates such as fructans and galactans, fructose, and lactose. Although sucrose is not officially classified as a FODMAP, it can also behave like a difficult-to-digest carbohydrate. Digestive enzymes can help with the digestion of these carbohydrates. It is recommended to take the capsules immediately before or with the first bite of food. If you have trouble swallowing, you can open the capsules and take the contents loose, or dissolve them in a glass of water. Recommended dosage: Take 1 to 3 capsules per serving. Maximum daily dose: A maximum of 15 capsules per day. Enzymatic activity: Enzymes are effective 30 to 45 minutes after ingestion. Age: The capsules can be used from 2 years of age. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
