In the body, the enzyme lactase is involved in the digestion of lactose, the sugar naturally present in milk and dairy products. When lactase production is insufficient, consumption of lactose causes digestive problems of varying degrees of severity. This is known as lactose intolerance, also known as "alactasia".
Lactase supplementation is one way of compensating for this deficiency and limiting symptoms of the appearance of digestive problems associated with alactasia. But does lactase come with side effects? LACTOLERANCE can help you find out.
The side effects of lactase: myth or reality?
To date, dietary supplements containing lactase have no known side effects.
And so, lactase supplementation is considered safe and well tolerated by people with lactose intolerance. This is because lactase is naturally present in the body, as it is produced in the small intestine and acts locally to break down the carbohydrates in lactose.
Very rare cases of lactase sensitivity do occur, however, and take the form of mild discomfort after taking lactase-based food supplements, which is why we recommend that you consult a healthcare professional before combining lactase with other medicines or supplements. You should also seek medical advice if you are pregnant or diabetic.
Lactase supplementation, a practical and effective solution for lactose intolerance
For over 30 years, oral supplementation with the enzyme lactase has proved effective in alactasia.
Administered in the form of food supplements, lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose in the intestine. These two simple sugars are easily absorbed by the body, allowing lactose-intolerant people to consume milk and dairy products without experiencing bloating, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, constipation or nausea.
Each individual needs to adjust his or her supplementation according to his or her needs, which is why LACTOLERANCE has developed tailor-made lactase-based formulas to suit everyone's lifestyle. Here are the specific features of each of them:
- LACTOLERANCE 9000 : with immediate action This concentrated lactase-based supplement is ideal for occasional meals away from home for people who are highly sensitive to lactose. According to the international standard that measures the action of enzymes, 9000 FCC correspond to 45 g of digestible lactose.
- LACTOLERANCE 1/DAY a unique, innovative formula offering permanent effectiveness, 1 capsule a day. Thanks to a unique combination of probiotics specially selected for their lactase production, this supplement enables the body to reproduce the lactase enzyme after just a few days. They are aimed at people seeking total digestive freedom, who enjoy eating out and who have an active social life, regardless of their level of lactose intolerance.
Warning: dry lactase capsules are for adults only, as there is a risk of choking in young children. From the age of 3, these food supplements can be used as long as the capsules are opened and the powder dissolved in a little water before the meal.
