Lactase Enzyme supplies the enzyme lactase, which is involved in the digestion of lactose and dairy foods. It is recommended in cases of proven lactose intolerance or in cases of stomach discomfort (bloating, cramps, gas, etc.) after consuming dairy foods.
Lactase Enzyme acts directly on the lactose present in food and should be taken every time products containing lactose are consumed.
Each Lactase Enzyme capsule provides 9,000 FCC ALU (lactase units) of lactase derived from the fermentation of Aspergillus oryzae.
What benefits can you expect from taking lactase:
→ relief of symptoms associated with lactose intolerance;
→ improving the digestion of dairy foods such as cheese, yellow cheese, yogurt and fresh milk, etc.;
→ reduction of cramps, abdominal pain and gas due to incomplete digestion of lactase in the intestines.
What is lactase and what are its functions in the body?
Lactase is an enzyme responsible for digesting the milk sugar, lactose, from dairy products. When the enzyme lactase binds to the disaccharide lactose, it breaks it down into its constituent glucose and galactose. This allows the simple sugars, glucose and galactose, to be absorbed and transported into the bloodstream.
Lactase deficiency can be congenital, in which case it manifests itself during infancy.
When acquired, lactase intolerance most often develops against the background of various intestinal inflammations and other disorders in the functions of the digestive tract.
Symptoms can range from mild stomach discomfort and bloating to severe diarrhea, even with small amounts of lactose.
Natural Factors' product supplies the body with the enzyme lactase, which converts lactose into an easily digestible form and effectively relieves the symptoms of lactose intolerance. By replacing the missing lactose produced by the body, Lactase Enzyme helps reduce stomach discomfort, diarrhea, gas, and bloating.
Keep in mind that supplemental lactase has no lasting effect outside of the meal with which it is taken.
Dosage: 1-2 capsules daily, before consuming foods containing lactose.
