No-Fenol™️ was developed by Dr. Devin Houston, Founder and CEO of Houston Enzymes, in response to requests for a product that would support the digestion of fruits and vegetables, especially those high in polyphenolic compounds.
No-Fenol™️ helps digestion by supporting the breakdown of the fibrous plant cell walls of fruits and vegetables, allowing the polyphenols and other cell nutrients to be released during digestion.
All plants contain some amount of polyphenolic compounds (sometimes called "phenols"). The polyphenol structure itself is found everywhere in nature, and is essential to many of life's processes. Some individuals have difficulty in the processing of foods high in polyphenolic compounds.
Polyphenols are important compounds used by gut bacteria. The research literature indicates that some polyphenols, when produced in the plant, are modified by the addition of carbohydrate groups to their structures, which may inhibit their availability for absorption. Enzymes, such as alpha-glucosidases, found in gut bacteria can de-glycosylate the polyphenols (remove the carbohydrate group) which then supports absorption of the compound.
The enzyme xylanase is the major component of No-Fenol, and is an enzyme used to breakdown the structural components of plant cell walls, which are primarily complex carbohydrates. Xylanase is used in the juice industry to extract more juice from fruit pulp fibers.
The enzymes in No Fenol offer support for digestive issues caused by:
Fruits
Vegetables
Coffee
Tea
Nuts
Seeds
Other Foods High in Polyphenols
Filler No-Fenol capsules contains microcrystalline cellulose and medium chain triglyceride (MCT) powder as filler. The MCT is derived from palm or coconut oil, and the cellulose is derived from European Spruce trees.
You may open the No-Fenol capsules and mix with food or drink. Also check out our TriEnza Chewable which has some of the main enzyme from No-Fenol, plus other enzymes for carbs, fats and proteins.
Contraindications for EnzymeSupplementation This product may not be appropriate for those with known allergies to enzyme proteins, though non-specific mold allergies do not necessarily preclude use of fungal enzymes. Consult your medical doctor for further advice, and err on the side of caution. Those with known anaphylactic allergic reactions to fungal proteins should NOT ingest fungal-derived enzymes.
Dosage
A dose of 1 capsule usually suffices for most meals, but not necessarily with every meal. Some have found satisfactory results with once or twice per day dosing, indicating that optimal dosing may be dependent upon many factors.

This product includes the following materials that are either derived from or contain allergens which must be declared on labels per the US Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA): None‡.
The production process used to manufacture the enzymes found in this product utilizes fermentation materials that are derived from or contain the allergens listed below. While these fermentation materials should be either consumed during fermentation or removed from the enzyme during additional enzyme isolation steps, minute traces of these allergens may be left in the final enzyme product. While these traces are expected to be below the limits of detection for standard ELISA based allergen testing methods‡, we cannot guarantee the complete absence of these allergens: Wheat
‡NOTE: Enzymes and probiotics can interfere with common ELISA based allergen test kits, producing either false positives or false negatives in these tests. When performing allergen testing on enzyme containing products, special sample preparation techniques must be utilized to avoid this interference.

For Standard International Orders: We use Royal Mail International Track (+ Sign), dependent on what the destination country accepts. Royal Mail state a 3-5 working day delivery guideline for this service within Europe, and a 5-7 working day guideline worldwide. However, we have found this is rarely the case outside of major cities, especially during busier periods (such as Christmas) this may not always be possible. This is a tracked and insured service, please contact us if you have not received your delivery within the above stated time-frames and we will assist you in locating your order.
For Expedited International Orders: We are able to offer expedited international shipping worldwide respected couriers. We can use DHL or another courier of your choice, but we are likely to get the best deal from DHL. Please feel free to use the 'Contact Us' form to ask for a DHL quote for your order.
We are able to offer expedited delivery worldwide using various couriers; this is something that we will examine on a case-by-case basis. Please email us and we will investigate your delivery options and let you know what is possible.
If you have selected a shipping method that does not include tracking/insurance then you accept and agree that in the instance that the parcel is lost or delayed, you will not be entitled to a refund or a replacement product, as we will be unable to make a claim for the loss.
We retain proof of postage at all times and reserve the right to use a different shipping method than you have selected in order to give your order added security in certain circumstances (e.g. for extremely high value orders we may upgrade to Courier delivery). In the majority of situations we will respect the customers chosen shipping method. We retain proof of postage for 180 days. After this time it may not be possible to retrieve your proof of postage.
Standard International Orders are not considered 'lost' by postal carriers until 90 days after the dispatch. As such, we will not consider an order to be officially lost until this time has passed. We may consider an order lost before this date based on tracking information and our previous experiences, but this will be examined on a case-by-case basis.
For the many who react to salicylate, a phenolic substance, needing more help than lowering salicylate in their diet can relieve, No Fenol can really help.
