The meal and activity units matter

The positive adult trial gave the enzyme with foods high in GOS and reported doses in GALU, units of enzyme activity. This is why a product’s activity and intended food target are more informative than a milligram amount alone. Monash places this approach after identifying individual FODMAP sensitivities, with the aim of making a broader range of foods tolerable. 1 2
