What is Lactaid?

Lactaid is a brand-name family of milk products and dietary supplements formulated for people who cannot tolerate lactose, a sugar found in milk. People with lactose intolerance do not produce enough lactase enzyme, a protein that breaks down lactose into simple sugars in the small intestines. When they drink dairy products, lactose-intolerant people usually experience abdominal pain, gas, bloating, cramps, and loose stools. Lactaid milk products contain lactase so that lactose-intolerant people can enjoy dairy products.

Lactaid dairy products include milk, chocolate milk, protein-enriched milk, calcium-enriched milk, ice cream, cottage cheese, and eggnog. All products contain both lactose and lactase enzyme. Lactaid dairy products can be ingested at any time without taking a lactase enzyme supplement.

Lactaid supplements also contain lactase enzyme. They are taken as a caplet or chewable tablet at the first drink or bite of a dairy product containing lactose. Lactaid is active for 30 to 45 minutes and must be retaken after that time if further dairy is ingested.

What are the side effects of Lactaid?

Lactase enzyme has no recorded side effects. Side effects to other ingredients in Lactaid dairy products or dietary supplements are usually due to other ingredients. These side effects include gas, bloating, abdominal pain, cramping, upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, and allergic reactions.
