Oligase 600
for the carefree enjoyment of grains, vegetables and legumes
Oligase 600 (600 GalU per capsule) - Reduces the occurrence of intestinal gas after consuming foods and beverages containing indigestible carbohydrates (sugars).
Oligase 600 contains the enzymes alpha-galactosidase (syn. melibiase), sucrase (syn. invertase), cellulase and hemi-cellulase.
Together, these break down indigestible carbohydrates into their easily digestible components and thus generally enable the symptom-free enjoyment of foods and drinks that are rich in such sugars.
These are numerous plant-based foods, such as cereals, vegetables and legumes (eg beans, peas, lentils) and some types of fruit
How is Oligase® 600 used?
We recommend consuming 1-4 capsules with food and/or beverages containing indigestible carbohydrates (see food table).
The capsules can also be opened and the contents of the capsules stirred into the meal that has already been cooked, but not into hot food (over 50°C) as the enzymes are sensitive to heat.

Oligase® 600 (600 GalU per capsule) - Reduces the occurrence of intestinal gas after consuming foods and beverages containing indigestible carbohydrates (sugars).
Intolerance or intolerance to indigestible carbohydrates is one of the most common food intolerances in Germany and is associated with increased gas formation in the intestine.
The enzyme combination we developed for Oligase® 600 is unique in Germany. Oligase® 600 contains the enzymes alpha-galactosidase (syn. melibiase), sucrase (syn. invertase), cellulase and hemi-cellulase. These split together indigestible carbohydrates into their easily digestible components and thus generally enable the enjoyment of foods and drinks rich in such sugars without symptoms. These are numerous plant foods, such as cereals, vegetables and legumes (eg beans, peas, lentils) and some types of fruit.
Five good reasons to choose Oligase® 600:
With 600 alpha-galactose units (GalU) per capsule, Oligase® 600 is the product with the highest alpha-galactosidase activity and by far the best price-performance ratio.
- Oligase® 600 is Germany's cheapest enzyme preparation for splitting indigestible carbohydrates contained in legumes, vegetables, grain products and fruit.
- Oligase® 600 is the only product that contains the combination of the four valuable enzymes mentioned above, which we developed specifically for this application.
- The new Oligase® 600 was developed by us as the successor to the product Vegitase, which we launched in Germany in 2006 as the first product of this type.
- Oligase® 600 is readily available in all pharmacies.
Questions and answers about Oligase® 600 and intolerance to non-digestible carbohydrates
What types of carbohydrates are there?
Carbohydrates are also known as sugars or saccharides. These three terms are therefore used synonymously.
There are simple sugars (monosaccharides), double sugars (disaccharides) and multiple sugars (oligosaccharides and polysaccharides).
Monosaccharides are made up of just one sugar molecule.
Disaccharides are made up of two sugar molecules.
Oligosaccharides are made up of 3 - 10 sugar molecules
Polysaccharides are made up of more than 10 sugar molecules.
Below are some examples of the different types of sugar:
- Glucose (glucose), galactose (mucus sugar) and fructose (fruit sugar) are monosaccharides (simple sugar) and important energy suppliers for humans
- Sucrose (normal table sugar) and lactose (milk sugar) are the best known naturally occurring disaccharides (double sugars) in food.
- Raffinose, stachyose and verbascose are indigestible oligosaccharides (polysaccharides) for the human organism. They occur naturally in many plant-based foods, which are known to often lead to flatulence and other discomfort after eating them. Hence the well-known saying "every little bean a ton"
- Cellulose (syn. cellulose) and hemi-cellulose (syn. hemi-cellulose) are polysaccharides (multiple sugars) which, like oligosaccharides, are natural components of plant foods. As structural substances, they form the essential components of plant cell walls. Legumes, for example, consist of around 10% cellulose
What happens to carbohydrates in the human gut after consumption?
While simple sugars can be easily absorbed from the small intestine and used by the body as a source of energy, the double and multiple sugars (oligosaccharides and polysaccharides) must first be broken down by enzymes into their digestible components. This is usually done by digestive enzymes that are available in the small intestine. However, the human small intestine does not have the enzymes to split the oligosaccharides raffinose, stachyose and verbascose contained in many foods and the polysaccharides cellulose and hemi-cellulose. These multiple sugars therefore represent what are known as indigestible carbohydrates. They reach the lower sections of the intestine (large intestine) in an uncleaved form and are fermented there by intestinal bacteria with the formation of gas. In addition, these sugars can cause an increased flow of water into the large intestine. This can lead to the well-known and widespread disturbances of well-being, such as abdominal pain, flatulence, a feeling of fullness, flatulence and/or diarrhea. This is a very common food intolerance or food intolerance and not a food allergy. It is not uncommon for those affected who are not always clear about the harmless cause of their ailments to be misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome (irritable colon or irritable colon).

It is not uncommon for those affected who are not always clear about the harmless cause of their ailments to be misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome (irritable colon or irritable colon).
Which foods contain indigestible carbohydrates?
Many grains, vegetables and legumes contain indigestible oligo- and polysaccharides and. All types of beans, soy products, lentils, peas, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, leeks, onions, radishes, peppers, whole grain products, oat bran, wheat bran and many other very healthy foods are particularly rich in indigestible carbohydrates (see food table).
How to identify an intolerance to indigestible carbohydrates?
Most people know from experience and pure self-observation that the consumption of certain plant-based foods leads to the above-mentioned disorders in you. Although these are harmless from a medical point of view, they can be very distressing for those affected. Doctors do not carry out a special test to determine intolerance to the indigestible oligo- and polysaccharides.
What can you do?
So far, many people have largely avoided the consumption of legumes, many types of vegetables and whole grain products, or have severely restricted their consumption of these foods. This is unsatisfactory and also unfavorable in terms of nutritional physiology because of the valuable nutrients and vital substances contained in these foods. So are e.g. B. Legumes are very important sources of protein and also contain large amounts of calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and folic acid.
The enzymes alpha-galactosidase (syn. melibiase) and sucrase (syn. invertase) contained in Oligase® 600 split the indigestible oligosaccharides raffinose, stachyose and verbascose into their easily digestible components galactose (mucus sugar), glucose (dextrose) and fructose (fruit sugar) on. Since the oligosaccharide-splitting effect of Oligase® 600 depends very much on the effect of alpha-galactosidase, each Oligase® 600 capsule with 600 GalU (galactosidase units) contains a high level of activity of this valuable enzyme. This makes Oligase® 600 the highest-dose alpha-galactosidase preparation in Germany.
Since plant foods also contain large amounts of indigestible cellulose and hemi-cellulose in their cell walls, simply breaking down the oligosaccharides is not enough. Most people have experienced that eating otherwise healthy and recommended high-fiber foods (eg, wheat bran and oat bran) causes them to develop gas and/or other digestive problems. Therefore, in addition to the oligosaccharide-splitting enzymes alpha-galactosidase and sucrase, Oligase® 600 also contains the cellulose and hemi-cellulose-splitting enzymes cellulase and hemi-cellulase. These two enzymes break down the indigestible polysaccharides into their digestible components.
Oligase® 600 generally enables carefree enjoyment of food and drinks that contain indigestible carbohydrates. It can also ensure the body's supply of the essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins contained in these tasty and healthy foods.
Where do the enzymes contained in Oligase® 600 come from and what happens to them after consumption?
The enzymes contained in Oligase® 600 are not of animal origin. They are made microbially. Alpha-galactosidase is produced with the help of the fungus Aspergillus niger. This fungus has been used to produce food enzymes for decades. After consumption, the capsule, which consists of vegetable substances, dissolves in the stomach within a few minutes and releases the enzyme combination it contains, which is then available for splitting any indigestible carbohydrates in the chyme. Gastric juice-resistant encapsulation of the enzymes we use is not necessary because Oligase® 600 contains so-called "acidic" enzymes. These have the special ability to work well in the acidic environment of the stomach, which is filled after eating. The enzymes are proteins (protein). After they reach the small intestine with the chyme from the stomach, they are digested there like any other protein supplied with food (eg from meat or an egg) and broken down into their amino acids. The enzymes are therefore neither absorbed from the small intestine nor do they affect the human organism. The effect of the enzyme combination contained is limited exclusively to the cleavage of oligo- and polysaccharides present in the chyme. The consumption of (even larger amounts) Oligase® 600 is therefore harmless and undesirable effects are not to be feared even with regular and long-term consumption. there they are digested and broken down into their amino acids like any other protein supplied with food (eg from meat or an egg).
