Indications
Lactase is an enzyme supplement utilized to assist individuals experiencing difficulty digesting milk and other dairy products, a condition known as lactose intolerance. Lactose, a sugar present in milk products, requires lactase enzyme to be properly broken down (digested). Lactose intolerance arises when the body produces insufficient amounts of lactase enzyme. Using lactase enzyme alongside milk products as directed can mitigate symptoms such as upset stomach, abdominal bloating/cramping, gas, and diarrhea triggered by these products.
