Lactase Enzyme (ß-galactosidase) is a digestive enzyme that breaks down the lactose of milk and dairy products into harmless simple sugars, glucose and galactose. People with lactose intolerance lack this enzyme and are therefore unable to fully utilize the lactose. That can lead to unpleasant symptoms. The lactase enzyme improves lactose digestion in lactose intolerant people.
Lactase Enzyme is an ideal supplement for those who are lactose intolerant, but want to enjoy whey, casein, caseinates and milk proteins.
* This statement has been scientifically proven by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and approved by the European Commission (EC).
Directions for use: One capsule of Lactase Enzyme from Scitec contains 5,000 FCC units. For the digestion of 10-13 grams of lactose (typical whey protein concentrates contain 5-6% lactose) 2,500 FCC units are required. For highly sensitive lactose intolerant consumers, 10,000 FCC units are required per meal, or 2 capsules. Take 1 capsule with each lactose containing meal such as whey, casein / caseinate, dairy drinks. (1 capsule is usually enough for the digestion of 20-26 grams of lactose.) About 400 ml of whole milk contains this amount of lactose.
Important: Use this product in conjunction with food as part of a healthy, balanced diet, not as a substitute for such. Keep out of the reach of children. DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED DAILY DOSAGE! Tolerance to lactose is variable and individuals with lactose intolerance should seek advice on the role of this substance in their diet.
