Lactase enzyme with peppermint aroma with 4500 FCC per tablet

Lactose intolerance is relatively widespread in German-speaking Europe. About 15% of the population cannot consume milk products without feeling the unpleasant consequences after consumption.

What is lactose?

Lactose is milk sugar, more precisely a double sugar, which is made up of D-galactose and D-glucose. Lactose can be found in most dairy products, although various types of cheese are almost lactose-free due to the ripening process.

What is lactase?

Lactase is an enzyme in the intestine that is able to break down lactose into its two components so that they can be absorbed by the intestinal mucosa. Without this splitting process, the lactose is transported into the large intestine and fermented by the intestinal bacteria, producing gases that cause unpleasant symptoms.

One lactase chewable tablet by Fairvital contains 4500 FCC. This enzyme activity unit indicates how much lactose can be broken down. In optimal conditions, 1000 FCC units can break down 5g of lactose.
