A new dietary supplement claims to alleviate the gastrointestinal discomfort many beer drinkers experience, ranging from gas and bloating to stomach upset.
Beer Aid was developed by Matt Simpson, owner of The Beer Sommelier, a craft beer consultancy. “While I’m not at liberty to disclose the exact formulation, Beer Aid relies on an enzyme composition that breaks down the complex sugars in beer, making them much more digestible.” He added, “By introducing this supplement into the GI tract when drinking beer (i.e., taking some as you drink), you can effectively reduce all those painful and malodorous side effects.”
“So many people have symptoms from lactose intolerance and take enzyme supplements to mitigate their suffering,” said Walter Smith, M.D., an Atlanta doctor. “Beer drinkers often experience the same symptoms from drinking beer, but never realize it’s a preventable condition.”
