Lactase

Possible Benefits

By splitting lactose efficiently, Lactase provides clear digestive comfort benefits:

• Supports Digestive Health by reducing bloating, gas, and discomfort associated with lactose consumption.
• Helps maintain General Health by improving nutrient absorption from dairy sources.

Side Effects

Lactase enzyme helps digest lactose, but some users may notice mild effects as gut bacteria adapt. Watch for:

• Occasional gastrointestinal upset, gas, bloating, or cramps
• Possible diarrhea with high doses
• Temporary mild headache or dizziness
• Rare allergic reactions, rash or itching
• Occasional nausea if taken without dairy

Interactions

Possible interactions include:

• Lactase-containing foods: Lactase helps digest lactose; when consumed with dairy enzymes, monitor for digestive balance but no major interactions.

Precautions

Before taking Lactase enzyme supplements, confirm none of the following apply to you. If they do, consult your healthcare provider:

• Individuals with dairy allergies: Lactase acts on lactose, not dairy proteins; avoid if allergic
• People with galactosemia: Contraindicated; cannot metabolize galactose
• Those with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO): May exacerbate gas production; use with caution
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women: Generally safe; avoid unnecessary high-dose use
• Patients scheduled for surgery: No specific discontinuation required unless advised by clinician
