DR T&T α-Galactosidase Powder 500 U/g – Digestive Enzyme Powder for Complex Carbohydrate Breakdown & Digestive Support – Pure, Clean, Non-GMO

Description

Alpha Galactosidase Powder 500 U/g – DR T&T digestive enzyme powder for complex carbohydrate & galacto-oligosaccharide breakdown – Pure, Clean, Non-GMO.

Alpha Galactosidase Powder is a specialised digestive enzyme used to help break down certain complex carbohydrates that naturally occur in foods such as beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas, soy and other pulses.

• Standardised 500 U/g α-Galactosidase Powder
A concentrated enzyme powder standardised to 500 U/g for digestive-enzyme blends, capsule formulations and custom supplement development.

• Helps Break Down Raffinose, Stachyose & Related Oligosaccharides*
α-Galactosidase acts on alpha-galactosidic bonds found in raffinose-family oligosaccharides and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), carbohydrates commonly associated with beans, pulses and soy-based foods.

• Useful with Bean-, Pulse- & Legume-Rich Meals*
This enzyme is commonly chosen by people who eat beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas, soy or other high-pulse foods and want extra digestive support with these carbohydrate-rich meals.

• Suitable for Plant-Based & High-Legume Diets*
A practical ingredient for vegetarian or plant-forward diets where beans, pulses and soy products are eaten frequently.

• Ideal for Multi-Enzyme Formulations
Can be used alongside amylase, protease, lipase, lactase, cellulase and other digestive enzymes to build broader digestive-support formulas.

What does α-Galactosidase do?

Some foods contain complex carbohydrates such as raffinose, stachyose and related galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). Humans have limited ability to break down these carbohydrates before they reach the large intestine. Alpha Galactosidase Powder helps split the relevant alpha-galactosidic bonds earlier in digestion, making these carbohydrates easier to process.

When might someone use α-Galactosidase?

Typical real-world use cases include:

• Before meals containing beans, lentils, chickpeas or peas
• With soy-based foods and other legume-rich meals
• When following a plant-based or vegetarian diet that contains large amounts of pulses
• In formulations aimed at people who experience digestive discomfort after certain high-GOS foods
• In multi-enzyme digestive supplements
• In custom capsule or powder formulations for carbohydrate-focused digestive support

Why beans and pulses are a common use case

Beans, chickpeas, lentils, peas and soy naturally contain raffinose-family oligosaccharides. These carbohydrates can pass through the upper digestive tract without being fully broken down and may then be fermented by gut bacteria. α-Galactosidase is commonly used with these foods because it specifically targets these carbohydrate structures.

For customers searching for support with gas or bloating after beans*

Alpha Galactosidase Powder is commonly found in digestive-enzyme products intended to be taken with bean- or pulse-rich meals. Evidence suggests it may help some people reduce gas or bloating associated with high-GOS or legume-rich foods when used appropriately with the meal.

Who may find Alpha Galactosidase Powder useful?

This ingredient may be especially relevant for people or formulators focused on meals and diets that contain higher amounts of fermentable oligosaccharides. Common examples include bean-based meals, lentil dishes, chickpea recipes, soy foods and mixed pulse products. It may also be considered in plant-based digestive-support formulas where legumes are a regular part of the diet.

Common food sources of raffinose-family oligosaccharides

Foods commonly associated with raffinose, stachyose and related galacto-oligosaccharides include beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas, soybeans and some cruciferous vegetables. These carbohydrates are not always fully broken down in the upper digestive tract, which is why alpha galactosidase is often selected for carbohydrate-focused digestive enzyme formulations.

Useful in targeted and broad-spectrum enzyme blends

Alpha Galactosidase Powder can be used as a focused ingredient on its own or combined with other enzymes in broader digestive products. In multi-enzyme formulations, it may complement amylase for starches, lactase for lactose, protease for proteins, lipase for fats and cellulase for plant fibre, giving formulators a more complete enzyme profile.

Suggested Use / Activity Guidance

Based on this product’s activity of 500 U/g and the supplier’s assay conditions, 1 U is effectively equivalent to 1 GALU for practical formulation purposes. A useful starting serving is therefore 0.6 g (600 mg), providing at least 300 GALU. For a higher serving, 1.2 g provides at least 600 GALU. Take with the first bites of a bean-, pulse-, soy- or other relevant carbohydrate-rich meal.

Important: this raw material is specified as 500 U/g using the supplier’s own activity assay. Enzyme activity units can vary by test method, so the supplier’s U definition matches the standard GALU definition used for alpha-galactosidase under these assay conditions. For formulation, dose by confirmed enzyme activity rather than by weight alone. Once equivalence is confirmed, the powder amount can be calculated from the desired activity per serving.

Storage

Keep the powder sealed in a cool, dry place, protected from heat, moisture and direct light. Reseal the container promptly after opening and avoid prolonged exposure to humid conditions to help preserve enzyme activity.

Standardised Activity – 500 U/g

This product is standardised to 500 U/g, providing a defined enzyme activity level for measured formulation and supplement use.

Easy to Use in Custom Formulations

Suitable for:

• Digestive enzyme blends
• Empty capsule filling
• Powdered supplement mixes
• Multi-enzyme formulas
• R&D and product development
• Small-batch and larger-scale supplement formulation

Prefer to fill the powder into capsules?

For customers filling dry α-Galactosidase powder into empty capsules, standard HPMC capsules may be suitable for simple encapsulation. If your formulation goal is to delay capsule opening during gastric transit, see our DRcaps® delayed-release HPMC capsules.
