Lactose intolerance supplement
Lactrase® helps people with lactose intolerance enjoy dairy again — without the discomfort. Trusted for over 20 years as one of the leading lactase brands in German and Austrian pharmacies, Lactrase® delivers fast, reliable support whenever you eat foods containing milk or lactose.**
Now available in the United States, Lactrase® brings proven German quality and European expertise directly to American consumers. Our products are proudly Made in Germany using high-quality standards, with fresh, modern packaging and excellent value for money.
Whether at home, traveling, dining out, or enjoying your favorite treats on the go, Lactrase® makes it easier to enjoy dairy with confidence.
It occurs when the body does not produce enough lactase, or none at all, to digest the lactose contained in dairy products. This can be genetic or acquired over the course of a lifetime.
The enzyme lactase contained in Lactrase® breaks down lactose into its easily digestible components glucose and galactose.
The lactase enzyme contained in Lactrase® is produced using the mold Aspergillus oryzae and is therefore not of animal origin.
Lactrase® should be taken immediately before or with food containing lactose. After ingestion, the capsule or tablet dissolves in the stomach within a few minutes, releasing the lactase it contains.
The following table shows the lactose content of common dairy products. You should test for yourself which amount of Lactrase® is sufficient for you. We recommend starting with two capsules or mini-tablets of Lactrase® 3300 or one capsule or mini-tablet of Lactrase® 6000 per 5 g of lactose in the meal.
