Lamberts Lactase provides 9000 FCC (Food Chemical Codex)*, making it one of the highest concentration products. Enzyme activity is measured and expressed according to the FCC (the national standard measure for plant enzymes), which is a better description than the weight in milligrams, as it describes the level of enzyme activity. Lactase is an enzyme that improves the digestion of lactose (milk sugar) in people with lactose indigestion. Lactase should be synthesized by the body in the small intestine; however, if this enzyme is not produced or is produced in small quantities, undigested lactose passes into the colon, where it ferments and produces hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and organic acids, causing cramps, gas, and diarrhea. Lactose intolerance isn't a serious problem, but it can cause uncomfortable discomfort for those affected. Although eliminating dairy products is a solution, this can be very impractical and require a very restrictive diet. Therefore, this product is useful for people who have trouble digesting milk. It is recommended for people who have problems digesting lactose, take 1 tablet before a meal containing dairy products (lactose). Do not exceed 3 tablets per day. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children. Store in a cool, dry place.
