Lactase

Lactase is an enzyme supplement that aids in the digestion of lactose, a naturally occurring sugar found in dairy products. This supplement is particularly helpful for individuals who have lactose intolerance, a condition where the body cannot properly break down lactose, leading to digestive discomfort and symptoms such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea after consuming dairy.
Lactase works by breaking down lactose into two simpler sugars, glucose and galactose, which can be absorbed more easily by the body. By facilitating the digestion of lactose, Lactase allows people with lactose intolerance to enjoy dairy products without experiencing the typical side effects.
Lactase is available as an over-the-counter medication and comes in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and chewable tablets. It is usually taken before or with a meal containing lactose, as directed by the manufacturer. Lactase supplements are considered safe for most people and can be used as a convenient and effective way to manage lactose intolerance symptoms. However, individuals should always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if they have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications.
