GutHabits Lactase is a dietary supplement for use with meals containing milk sugar, or lactose. It is intended for adults and children 7 years and older.
What is lactase?
It is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, a specific type of sugar contained in milk. Humans naturally produce this enzyme themselves, but the intensity of this production may already depend on genetic predisposition. Lactose is a disaccharide that readily ferments in the intestines, so it can cause discomfort. Upon contact with lactase, it breaks down into separate glucose and galactose molecules, which are much better tolerated by the intestines
Some members of the public love dairy and feel great after it, while others struggle with bloating and abdominal pain after just a small portion. Insufficient lactase production forces dietary restrictions, and no one likes that. This means eliminating or restricting not only milk, but also products such as ice cream, yogurt, pizza and cheesecake. Supplementation with additional lactase for such meals helps make up for deficiencies in this enzyme.
Why supplement lactase?
This is a great strategy for people who feel that their natural production of this enzyme is not sufficient. Supplementation with lactase allows you to enjoy the taste of dairy products again.
9,000 ALU* is the activity to digest 10-15 grams of lactose.
Thus, one capsule of this supplement should be quite sufficient for most standard meals containing dairy.
* ALU = acid lactase unit according to the FCC (Food Chemical Codex).
