Where's the Beano? You'll find Beano in supermarkets, pharmacies, mass merchandising outlets such as Sam's Club and Costco, and health food stores across the country. But you won't find it next to the vitamins. Look for Beano near the antacid products in the health section of the store.

What is Beano?

Beano is an all-natural solution for a completely natural problem. And almost any adult or teenager can use it.

Many people experience gas and discomfort after eating vegetables, grains, beans, legumes, and other wholesome or high-fiber foods. Even cereals, breads, nuts, and seeds can be problematic.

Your partner in healthy eating

If you've begun to avoid these foods because of the embarrassment or discomfort they cause, Beano is your solution. You're missing out on some of the most nutritious foods around -- foods that are essential ingredients in many delicious recipes.

And avoiding these foods is unnecessary. You don't have to give up eating the healthy things you love, because Beano can help.

You're Not Alone

Digestive discomfort is due to a recently identified, little-known food intolerance called Complex Carbohydrate Intolerance (CCI). Complex carbohydrates are the sugars found in many healthy foods, such as beans and other legumes, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds. CCI is caused by a deficiency of an intestinal enzyme called alpha-galactosidase, which results in the incomplete digestion of complex carbohydrates. Symptoms of CCI can include flatulence, abdominal pain, bloating and cramping.

Currently, Beano is the only over-the-counter natural dietary supplement brand that contains the missing enzyme called alpha-galactosidase. This enzyme works with the body's digestive system to break down the complex sugars in gas-causing foods, making them more digestible, ultimately helping to prevent CCI symptoms before they start.

Take Beano with every meal

When you take Beano just before a meal, you can avoid gas and digestive problems altogether. Beano is available in a tablet or liquid, so it's handy to use even when you're away from home and on the go - at work, dining out or visiting friends.

Beano isn't a drug. And Beano is the only product made from a natural enzyme that helps your body to process complex carbohydrates better. It breaks down the complex sugars found in natural foods before they reach the colon, making them simpler and more digestible - and preventing gas before it starts.
