What is Lactase?

Lactase is a Enzyme supplement available in 1 form.

Not all forms of Lactase are equal. The form you choose determines how much Lactase actually reaches your tissues, and the difference between the best and worst forms can be substantial. Food-grade lactase is a beta-galactosidase enzyme standardized for consistent FCC (Food Chemical Codex) lactase unit activity for supplementing the body's dairy sugar digestion capacity. Research supports activity-standardized lactase for promoting healthy lactose digestion and reducing digestive discomfort in individuals with lactase insufficiency.

Forms of Lactase Compared

Lactase Powder (Secondary Form) has a bioavailability rating of good (S2). Typical dose range: not yet documented in our database.

What the Research Shows

Lactase enzyme supplementation provides the beta-galactosidase enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and galactose. Research supports its use for individuals with lactose intolerance — estimated to affect 65-70% of the global adult population. Supplemental lactase taken with dairy meals prevents gas, bloating, and digestive discomfort.

How to Choose the Right Form

Multiple forms of Lactase are available. Start by comparing form ratings — Preferred Forms reflect the strongest bioavailability evidence, and S1-rated forms deliver the most active compound per dose unit.

The appropriate form depends on your individual goals and your healthcare provider’s recommendations. Consult a qualified professional before selecting a supplement form.
