Lactase Enzyme (9,000 FCC Lactase Units)
-
Baijal et al., 2021 · BMC Gastroenterology
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial; n=47; participants with lactose intolerance
Participants with lactose intolerance who received a lactase supplement alongside a lactose challenge showed statistically significant reductions in breath hydrogen production and symptom scores (bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea) compared to those who received placebo; the crossover design allowed within-subject comparison across both treatment conditions.
-
Shaukat et al., 2010 · Annals of Internal Medicine
Systematic review of RCTs; multiple randomized controlled trials included; participants with lactose intolerance
A systematic review found that participants with lactose intolerance who received lactase enzyme supplementation with dairy intake showed statistically significant reductions in bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea compared to those who did not receive lactase enzyme; the evidence was rated as moderate-quality with some heterogeneity in dosing protocols across included trials.

How it works
Every ingredient, chosen with intention.
Here's what's in this bottle - and why each ingredient earned its place in the formula.
-
Lactase Enzyme 9,000 FCC Lactase Units per tablet
An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose, the sugar found in dairy, into its component monosaccharides glucose and galactose, which the small intestine can then absorb. Without sufficient lactase activity, undigested lactose passes to the large intestine where it is fermented by bacteria.
Why we chose itAt 9,000 FCC Lactase Units per tablet, this formula is dosed for a full dairy-containing meal. FCC units (Food Chemicals Codex) are the standard measure of lactase activity, not milligrams, which don't reflect how much lactose the enzyme can actually process.

Questions, answered
What customers often ask.
When exactly should I take this, before or after dairy?
Take it right before you begin eating dairy, or during the first few bites. Lactase needs to be present in your digestive tract at the same time as the lactose it's breaking down. Taking it an hour before or after the meal is too early or too late for the enzyme to be effective.
What does 9,000 FCC mean?
FCC stands for Food Chemical Codex, a standardized system for measuring enzyme activity. 9,000 FCC Lactase Units is a high-potency rating for a single chewable tablet. Common over-the-counter lactase tablets range from 3,000 to 9,000 FCC; higher FCC means more lactase activity per serving.
Does this work for all types of dairy?
Lactase helps your body break down lactose, the sugar in dairy. Higher-lactose dairy like milk, ice cream, and soft cheeses will require more enzyme activity than lower-lactose options like hard aged cheeses or butter. One tablet handles a typical dairy-containing meal for most people; heavier dairy meals may benefit from two.
Will this help if I'm lactose intolerant?
Lactase enzyme supplements are specifically designed for lactose intolerance. A crossover clinical trial in participants with lactose intolerance showed significant reductions in digestive symptoms when lactase was taken alongside a dairy challenge. It supports your body's ability to break down dairy sugar at that meal, it doesn't change your body's own lactase production over time.
Can I take this every day with every dairy meal?
Yes. Lactase enzyme is a food-derived supplement with a well-established safety profile and no known dependency effects. Daily use before dairy-containing meals is the intended use pattern. Consult your healthcare provider if you're pregnant or managing a GI condition.
Is this chewable or swallowable?
It's a chewable tablet, chew it right before or as you start a dairy-containing meal. It's sweetened with xylitol (no sugar) and flavored naturally; the beet root extract gives it its color. No gelatin, no soy, no gluten.
