Lactaid Ultra Oral
Generic Name: LACTASE ENZYME - ORAL
Pronounced: (LAK-tase)
Lactaid Ultra Oral Uses
This product is an enzyme supplement used to help people
who have trouble digesting milk and other dairy products (lactose intolerance).
Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk products. Lactase enzyme is normally
produced by the body to help break down (digest) lactose. Lactose intolerance
occurs when the body produces low amounts of lactase enzyme.
Lactose intolerance can begin at different ages. Infants
are not usually affected, but lactose intolerance can affect children as young
as 2. It is very common in adults. One way to treat lactose intolerance is to
avoid milk products. However, this can result in a lack of important nutrients
and vitamins such as calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin, and protein. Some people
use lactose-free milk or milk substitutes such as soy or rice milk. Most people
with low lactase enzyme levels can tolerate small amounts of milk products at
one time (2-4 ounces) and get symptoms only with larger servings (6 ounces or
more). Taking lactase enzyme with milk products as directed can help prevent
upset stomach, abdominal bloating/cramping, gas, and diarrhea caused by these
products.
