Services
Kiwi Biosciences aims to help 18 million Americans suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) by offering products that break down FODMAP issues in food, allowing users to enjoy meals without discomfort. Their product lineup includes enzyme supplements designed to improve gut health and enable the consumption of previously problematic foods.
Products
Kiwi Biosciences offers a range of products designed to break down fructan, lactose, and GOS. These include a home kit, an on-the-go kit, and an anywhere bundle tailored to different user needs. The supplements are formulated to improve gut health and provide relief from FODMAP-related digestive issues. Users are advised to chew well and avoid mixing the powder with water, as well as to refrain from using the products with foods high in polyols.
Usage Guidelines
Kiwi Biosciences advises users to avoid mixing their enzyme powder with water to maintain its effectiveness. If eating for more than 30 minutes, a booster dose is recommended. The powder should not be added to foods being cooked due to high temperatures deactivating the enzymes. Proper chewing helps integrate the enzymes with FODMAPs and activates them instantly.
