Dietary supplement especially indicated for those who have trouble digesting lactose.
Lactase is a digestive enzyme necessary to break down lactose (the sugar in milk). This enzyme should be synthesized by the body in the small intestine. However, if this enzyme:
- is not produced
- is produced in small amounts
undigested lactose passes to the colon where it ferments and produces:
- hydrogen
- carbon dioxide
- organic acids
This causes cramps, gas, and diarrhea.
The supplement is suitable for vegans and vegetarians and is free from lactose and gelatin.
