Lactase

Lactase is an enzyme that helps break down lactose, a sugar in milk and milk products. Some bodies do not make enough lactase, so they are not able to digest milk well, which can lead to diarrhea, cramps, and gas. This is referred to as “lactose intolerance.” Taking supplemental lactase can help break down lactose by splitting the milk sugar lactose, which produces the sugars glucose and galactose. Taking Lactase can prevent symptoms such as:

– Diarrhea
– Cramps
– Gas
