Frequently Asked Questions

What is lactose intolerance and why does it cause symptoms?

Lactose intolerance is caused by insufficient production of lactase — the enzyme that breaks down lactose (the primary sugar in dairy) into glucose and galactose that can be absorbed. Undigested lactose passes to the large intestine where gut bacteria ferment it, producing gas (bloating, flatulence) and osmotic fluid shifts (loose stools, diarrhoea) — the hallmark symptoms of lactose intolerance.

How does Lacteeze Extra Strength work?

Each Lacteeze tablet provides lactase enzyme that, when taken at the start of a dairy-containing meal, digests the lactose as it passes through your digestive system — preventing it from reaching the large intestine undigested. The enzyme acts in your gut before symptoms can develop.

When should I take Lacteeze?

Take Lacteeze with the first bite of a dairy-containing meal or snack. The enzyme needs to be present in the digestive system as the lactose arrives. Taking it after symptoms start will not provide relief — Lacteeze is preventive, not a treatment for existing symptoms.

How many tablets do I need per meal?

1–2 tablets per meal is typical, depending on the amount of lactose consumed. For a large dairy meal (milk, large serving of cheese, creamy pasta), 2 tablets may be needed. For smaller lactose amounts, 1 tablet is usually sufficient. Adjust based on personal response.

Is Lacteeze suitable for people who are completely dairy-free?

Lacteeze is an enzyme supplement, not a substitute for avoiding dairy if you choose to do so. It is designed for people who want to enjoy dairy foods without symptoms. People with dairy protein allergies (as opposed to lactose intolerance) should not use Lacteeze — protein allergies require complete dairy avoidance.
