Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals who experience discomfort after consuming dairy products due to lactose intolerance. Holland & Barrett Lactase Enzyme capsules contain lactase, a natural digestive enzyme that aids in the breakdown of lactose, helping you enjoy milk and dairy products more comfortably. A key caveat is that this product supports digestion and does not cure lactose intolerance; individual results may vary.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is lactase?

Lactase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products, into simpler sugars (glucose and galactose) that the body can absorb.

How do I know if I need this product?

You may benefit from this product if you experience symptoms like bloating, gas, stomach cramps, or diarrhea after consuming milk or dairy products.

When should I take the capsules?

Take the capsules shortly before or with your first bite or sip of a meal or drink that contains lactose.

How many capsules should I take?

The recommended dose is typically 1 to 3 capsules per meal or drink containing lactose, but this can vary depending on the amount of lactose you consume. It is best to start with a lower dose and adjust as needed.

Are these capsules suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

No, the soft gel capsules contain gelatine, making them unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Can I take these capsules with every meal?

You can take the capsules with any meal or drink that contains lactose. However, it is advisable to follow the recommended dosage and consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

What is the difference between this product and a probiotic?

Lactase enzymes help break down lactose. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support gut health. While both can aid digestion, they serve different functions.

Troubleshooting

Experiencing discomfort despite taking capsules

The amount of lactase needed can vary. Try increasing the dose slightly with your next dairy-containing meal, or ensure you are taking the capsules immediately before or with the meal. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.

Capsules are difficult to swallow

Take the capsules with a full glass of water. If you consistently struggle with swallowing capsules, consider other forms of lactase supplements if available.

Product packaging is damaged

Do not consume the product if the packaging is damaged. Return it to the place of purchase for a replacement or refund.
