Product Information

There is currently no permanent cure for lactose intolerance, which is considered a lifelong/chronic condition that can only be managed. Permanent treatment isn’t possible (at least not yet) because no medication works to increase the amount of lactase your small intestine makes. Forsgård RA. Lactose digestion in humans: intestinal lactase appears to be constitutive whereas the colonic microbiome is adaptable.

J Hum Nutr Diet. 2001;14(5):359-63. View abstract. Lactase is an enzyme produced by humans (and many other mammals and organisms) in the small intestine. These supplements are most often made from beta-galactosidase, a compound derived from the fermentation of the fungi Aspergillus niger or Aspergillus oryzae.

Reduce the amount of dairy foods in your diet, or choose only lactose-reduced or lactose-free milks. The most important job that the lactase enzyme has is catalyzing the breakdown of lactose (a disaccharide milk sugar), turning it into the simple sugars called glucose and galactose. Wait 30 minutes, shaking the formula occasionally, then feed your infant as normal, making sure that the formula is at the correct temperatureLactase supplements like Lactaid contain the digestive enzyme lactase. Your body needs lactase to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Symptoms & causes of lactose intolerance. In most cases, you can manage the symptoms of lactose intolerance by changing your diet to limit or avoid foods and drinks that contain lactose, such as milk and milk products.

Care Co-Lactase® enzyme drops can be added to breast milk and formula milk every time you feed. Do not give the drops directly to your baby. Suitable from birth. Lactase non-persistence: In a person with lactase non-persistence, their lactase levels will get lower over time, causing a gradual decrease. In this case, lactase products that help digest lactose will not solve the underlying problem and may not be a good long-term solution.

Infant colic can have many causes. In some cases, it is caused by temporary lactose intolerance. This is when babies are unable to fully break down lactose, a complex sugar in breast milk and infant formula. This can cause discomfort commonly known as colic and characterised by lengthy periods of distressed crying. Suitable from birth, Colief Infant Drops are completely natural and help break down lactose into simpler sugars, glucose and galactose, making it easier for your baby to digest their feeds and reducing their discomfort.
