Lactase 30 capsules YAMAMOTO

Lactase is the food supplement from Yamamoto Research containing the enzyme lactase and fennel extract , developed for the treatment of maldigestion related to lactose intake. Lactase is in fact able to support the lactose digestion in subjects who have difficulty digesting (or cannot tolerate) this particular sugar. Fennel extract also promotes regulate gastrointestinal motility , the elimination of gas and the digestive function in general.

Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose (a disaccharide) into its two constituent sugars, galactose and glucose. Lactose intolerance , the body's total or partial inability to produce sufficient amounts of lactase to properly digest this sugar, is increasingly common among the population. In Italy, it is believed that approximately 50% of the population is lactose intolerant, although with varying degrees of severity.

Lactose is the main sugar in milk (cow's, goat's, buffalo's, and donkey's) and accounts for approximately 98% of all sugars in milk. It is also found in many dairy products. This sugar is also often used as a food additive in various popular foods (such as baked goods and some cured meats), and is therefore widely present on our tables.

The clinical picture associated with lactose intolerance is characterized by unpleasant abdominal cramps and pain, flatulence, stomach heaviness, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation: all symptoms that appear relatively quickly after ingesting foods containing lactose. Symptoms can vary from person to person, with symptoms varying in severity and severity, and may also include headache, fatigue, nausea, or skin rashes.

Lactase contains well 300 mg of digestive enzyme with enzymatic activity of 30,000 FCC (Food Chemical Complex) ALU (Acid Lactase Unit) and 120 mg of fennel extract per daily dose. A single capsule , to be consumed before eating a lactose-containing meal, contains 150 mg of lactase, or 15,000 FCC: This dose allows you to digest approximately 5g of lactose (which we find for example in 100ml of cow's milk). However, there are specific reference tables that indicate the lactose content (in g) of each food, so that lactase intake can be adjusted accordingly. In Lactase, the following have been added: 120 mg of fennel extract , which, thanks to its action on intestinal gas, works with lactase to reduce unpleasant symptoms.

But can simply taking lactase as a supplement help people digest lactose more effectively? It seems so, because lactase supplementation in human studies has shown a reduction in hydrogen in the breath (a sign of fermentation) and various symptoms associated with intolerance such as flatulence, bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

However, you have to be careful because taking lactase after the fact is not necessarily able to eliminate the symptoms, therefore It is always better to take it as a preventive measure.

Lactose intolerance is increasingly common among the population, especially in Europe. Lactase is the ideal ally for preventing those bothersome gastrointestinal symptoms associated with lactose intolerance.
