Works great, but their advertizing is DECEPTIVE.
I give Bean-zyme 1 star for deceptive advertizing and 5 stars for product effectiveness. It works very well for me, just as well as Beano or the two or three other alpha-galactosidase products I've tried. And the bottle arrived quickly. But, the Bean-zyme advertizing makes you believe it is twice as good a deal as it actually is.
The website image of the bottle label, and the rest of the Amazon webpage for Bean-zyme, implies that each capsules contains 300 GALU of enzyme. That's a great deal for $7.49/bottle (the GALU rating determines how many capsule you need to take for it to prevent gas). Yet, when the bottle arrived, you see on the label that it takes 2 capsules, not one capsule, to have 300 GALU of enzyme activity, which is not nearly as good a deal. It makes the product twice as expensive as their webpage implies. There was no way to know this ahead of time.
It's still a fairly good price, a much better deal than Beano. But, the Rite Aid "Anti-gas food enzyme supplement" (also an alpha-galactosidase product) is a much better deal (I'm not sure if it's available on Amazon). And, the "Vitacost Gas Enzyme Alpha-galactosidase" product available on Amazon is also a much better deal than Bean-zyme, that is, unless the info on the Vitacost Gas Enzyme product webpage is also deceptive (I haven't purchased that one yet).
