Fungal Amylase 50,000 SKG/g refers to a high-potency form of amylase enzyme derived from fungi (commonly Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus niger) with an activity of 50,000 SKG units per gram.
SKG = Sandstedt-Kneen-Blish-Gottfred unit (a standard unit for amylase activity)
It measures how much starch an enzyme can hydrolyze under specific conditions.
Higher SKG = more enzymatic activity per gram
So, 50,000 SKG/g means 1 gram of this enzyme preparation can break down 50,000 SKG units' worth of starch under standard test conditions.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Source | Typically from Aspergillus oryzae or A. niger |
| Function | Breaks down starch into maltose and dextrins |
| Optimal pH | 4.5 – 6.0 (acid-stable, active in stomach and upper small intestine) |
| Temperature Range | Effective up to ~60–70°C (140–160°F) |
| Use Cases | Digestive aids, food processing, brewing, baking, animal feed |
Digestive enzyme supplements
Helps digest starchy foods (e.g., bread, pasta, potatoes)
Reduces bloating and gas in people with starch intolerance
Food industry applications
Pre-digestion of flour (baking)
Conversion of starch into fermentable sugars (brewing, syrup production)
Vegetarian enzyme blends
Fungal amylase is often used as a plant-based alternative to pancreatic amylase
Considered safe and effective in proper doses
GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by FDA
Overuse may cause too-rapid carbohydrate digestion, leading to blood sugar spikes in sensitive individuals
Would you like help calculating dosage per capsule or serving, or want a comparison to pancreatic amylase or other digestive enzymes like protease or lipase?

Verified customer reviews for expert-curated supplements and nutritional guidance by Stephen Heuer
"Stephen Heuer has extensive knowledge in helping you recover from any health challenge you are facing. I have had issues with my kidneys and Stephen has been invaluable in helping my health get better. You would do yourself a favor by getting a consultation from him for whatever health challenges you are facing."
"I've been enjoying the benefits of Synergy One and Green Meadow Whey for years now. At 71, they truly have made me feel 10 years younger — increased energy, better skin, rejuvenated hair growth, and increased libido being the primary benefits."
"I have used Synergy One for twenty years! I tried getting off it but noticed joint pain, so I got right back on. I will always use this product because it has raised my DHEA level and it seems to make my HRT work better."
"I highly recommend Steven for all his products. I was sick for 5 days and my husband gave him a call — he gave some supplements plus the Green Meadow Whey protein and the following day I was getting better and my energy went back to normal in a few days."
"After taking his recommended supplements, I've lost weight and improved gut health. The specific probiotics working in tandem with the recommended diet improved the health of my gut bacteria and made it extremely easy for me to keep from gaining the weight back."
