Pharmacist's advice: lactase should be taken immediately before or together with lactose-containing food rather than several hours beforehand. The amount of lactose in a meal and individual tolerance vary considerably, so the same amount of enzyme may not be sufficient for every meal. If digestive symptoms are severe or occur even without lactose consumption, they should not automatically be attributed to lactose intolerance.

Important: lactose intolerance and milk-protein allergy are different conditions. Lactase breaks down the milk sugar lactose, but it does not remove milk proteins responsible for allergic reactions. People with milk-protein allergy should not use lactase as a way to make dairy products safe.

Individual tolerance: lactose tolerance varies significantly between individuals. EU conditions for the authorised lactase health claim require at least 4,500 FCC units with each lactose-containing meal; Nutriversum Lactase Enzyme provides 5,000 FCCU per tablet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much lactase does one tablet contain?
One tablet provides 5,000 FCCU lactase enzyme.

When should the tablet be taken?
Immediately before or together with a lactose-containing meal.

Is it taken only once per day?
Not necessarily. Lactase is used with lactose-containing meals, so it may be required with more than one meal during the same day.

How long does one package last?
The package contains 60 tablets, equivalent to 60 individual servings. The number of days depends on how often lactose-containing meals are consumed.

Does lactase help with lactose intolerance?
Lactase improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose. Individual tolerance and enzyme requirements vary.

Can it be used for milk allergy?
No. Milk-protein allergy is different from lactose intolerance, and lactase does not break down milk-protein allergens.

Is it vegan?
Yes. The current Nutriversum declaration identifies Lactase Enzyme as suitable for a vegan diet.

Is it gluten-free?
Yes. The manufacturer identifies the product as gluten-free.
