Eases bloating after milk
Lactase cuts lactose into absorbable monosaccharides, so gut bacteria have less fermentable disaccharide and gas and bloating often fall with it. For people whose belly swells after fresh milk, yogurt, or a latte, differences in gas and a softer waist are easier to notice at the meal that contains lactose.
Reduces diarrhea from lactose intolerance
Uncut lactose pulls water into the gut lumen, which is how osmotic diarrhea and urgency arise; once the enzyme splits the disaccharide, that osmotic load eases. For people who need the toilet after ice cream, cheese, or milk, changes in stool form and urgency are more often noticeable at that meal.
How to take it?
Start with the label, then reassess by post-meal comfort and tolerance.
How oftenGenerally use as needed, following the product label.

Cautions
