* Complex carbohydrate intolerance : Rather than completely giving up carbohydrates, using an alpha-galactosidase enzyme may act as a treatment for both complex carbohydrate intolerance and regular gassiness. This may help people suffering from gluten intolerance and other food sensitivities as alpha-amylase aids in the digestion of potato, wheat, corn, and rice starch.
* May help with fabry’s disease : Studies show that people without enough alpha-galactosidase can experience a very serious condition known as Fabry’s disease, which can later lead to kidney malfunction and an increased risk of heart disease. A genetic condition, Fabry disease causes abnormal deposits of fatty substances to accumulate in blood vessel walls, due to the inherited lack of alpha galactosidase. Currently, the U.S. government is sponsoring clinical trials to study more about how Alpha Galactosidase can prevent or treat this serious condition.
