Description
"Lactase" is a supplement containing an enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose into glucose and galactose. It plays a role in dairy digestion by facilitating lactose breakdown and improving nutritional availability. This enzyme is used to support digestive efficiency and minimize discomfort associated with lactose intolerance. Many dairy products incorporate lactase to reduce lactose content for easier consumption. Its enzymatic function makes it a fundamental component in digestive health and dietary support applications.

When To Take It
Lactase is typically taken just before consuming dairy products to aid in lactose digestion. Probiotic-rich foods, such as kefir, yogurt, and sauerkraut, may also support natural lactase activity.
Synergy and Antagonism
Lactase works in conjunction with other digestive enzymes, like lipase and amylase, and probiotics to support more effective digestion of lactose and overall gut health. There are no well-documented antagonistic interactions specific to lactase.
