What is Lactase Enzyme?

Lactase Enzyme is an over-the-counter dietary supplement for infants, children, or adults who are lactose-intolerant. Lactose is a sugar found in milk. Lactase Enzyme is a protein made in the intestines that helps to break down lactose into simple sugars. Lactose-intolerance results from insufficient production of this protein. Milk and dairy products will produce nausea, diarrhea, gas, bloating, and abdominal cramps in people who are lactose-intolerant.

Lactose intolerance is very common; at least 10% of adults have some form of lactose intolerance. It typically develops after the age of five. Infants are born with the ability to make lactase, but in rare cases, particularly among premature infants, they may not be able to make a sufficient amount of this enzyme and require either lactose-free formula or be given lactase supplements. Lactose production goes down in some people after the age of five. Injury or surgery to the intestines may also cause lactose intolerance.

Lactase Enzyme replaces lactase in the body and has the same effect of breaking down lactose in the gut, so lactose-intolerant people can eat or drink dairy products without side effects. Lactase Enzyme comes as a tablet or chewable tablet and is taken at the same time dairy products are ingested. Lactase Enzyme lasts in the gut for about 30 to 45 minutes, so another tablet will need to be taken if dairy products are ingested after that time. For infants, Lactase Enzyme is taken as drops immediately before nursing or feeding.

What are the side effects of Lactase Enzyme?

Lactase Enzyme does not have documented side effects. However, the inactive ingredients in Lactase Enzyme tablets or liquid may provoke allergic reactions such as rash, hives, swelling, or trouble breathing. Discontinue Lactase Enzyme if you notice signs of an allergic reaction.
