NSI Gas Enzyme Alpha-galactosidase -- 300 GaIU - 120 Chewable Tablets

NSI Gas Enzyme Alpha-galactosidase -- 300 GaIU - 120 Chewable Tablets

NSI® Gas Enzyme Alpha-galactosidase is a natural enzyme that aids digestion, preventing gas and bloating. How does NSI® Gas Enzyme Alpha-galactosidase work? Complex carbohydrates are the sugars found in gassy foods like vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, beans, cereals and whole-grain products. Complex Carbohydrate Intolerance (CCI) is caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase, an intestinal enzyme that is needed for the complete digestion of complex carbohydrates. This common digestive problem often results in gas, cramping, flatulence and bloating – symptoms that can be painful, uncomfortable and often embarrassing.  . NSI® Gas Enzyme Alpha-galactosidase works naturally with the body's digestive system, breaking down the complex sugars in gassy foods to make them more digestible. When NSI® Gas Enzyme Alpha-galactosidase is taken before a meal, it can prevent the uncomfortable symptoms of CCI before they begin. NSI® Gas Enzyme Alpha-galactosidase is better because it:. -- Can prevent gas and bloating before it happens. -- Contains the most potent and highest quality ingredients. -- Is a better value than other brands.  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

Broken Inner Seal, September 28, 2009
By hugobossv8
Satisfaction: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

"Every single product that I've ordered from NSI has had a broken inner seal. This makes me question the quality of their products. The inner seal doesn't seem secure and either the glue of the inner seal is melting or someone is tampering with it."

"I was happy to find this over a year ago. I used alot of Beano as I have to take more than the recommended 2-3 tablets for it to be effective. That became very expensive. This is a great price and worked well. Unfortunately, the tablets are different. They used to be small firm tablets. They are now larger, crumbly, and chalky. The taste is still okay if you are someone who prefers to chew the tablets. Even with cotton stuffed in the bottles, multiple tablets were broken and when I shake a few out of the bottle, I get a chalky palm. I am not sure if I would recommend this to a friend, but the choices were yes/no; no maybe."

"I use Beano all the time so that I can eat onions. Well, Alpha-galactosidase does the same thing, for almost half the cost. The only negative is the taste. Reminds me of Pez candies; overly sweet, with a bit of tartness. You kind of have to gulp it down so it doesn't interfere with the meal. But, hey, if it does the trick...."

"This product supposedly has the same exact ingredient in the same amounts as beano per serving. It seems to work pretty well but honestly I feel the 2 tablet dose suggested on the label is not enough and feel the need to take atleast 3 tablets to get the desired result. Even at three tablets I figure its still cheaper than beano and it does have a good taste were beano taste like chalk. If the two tablet dose seemed enough to me and I didn't feel the need to take more than prescribed this product would have scored 5 stars accross the board but the nice rating i gave is reflective of how highly over all i still like the product."
