How Alpha-galactosidase + Simethicone works
Alpha-galactosidase + Simethicone is a combination of two medicines: alpha-galactosidase and simethicone. Alpha-galactosidase is an enzyme that helps break carbohydrates. These carbs can ferment in the colon and produce gas because they are not completely broken down in the small intestine. Simethicone on the other hand helps break down bigger gas bubbles into smaller ones that are easier to pass. Together they show a combined effect in treating bloating and lowering stomach discomfort.
