Evidence Level
Limited
0 Clinical Trials
3 Documented Benefits
2/5 Evidence Score

Dairylytic® is a lactase enzyme (beta-galactosidase), the enzyme that digests lactose, the sugar in milk and dairy. Taken with dairy foods, lactase helps people with lactose intolerance digest dairy comfortably and avoid gas, bloating, and cramps.

Studied Dose Taken with dairy meals; dose measured in enzyme activity units (FCC).
Active Compound Lactase (beta-galactosidase) enzyme.

Benefits

Lactose digestion

Lactase breaks down lactose into simple sugars the body can absorb, the well-established way to help people with lactose intolerance enjoy dairy.

Comfort with dairy

By digesting lactose, lactase helps prevent the gas, bloating, and cramps that lactose-intolerant people get from milk and dairy.

Take-as-needed

Lactase is taken with the first bite of a dairy meal, working only on the lactose in that meal.

Mechanism of action

1

Lactose breakdown

Lactase splits lactose into glucose and galactose, which are easily absorbed, preventing undigested lactose from reaching the colon.

2

Reduced fermentation

With lactose digested, gut bacteria have less to ferment, reducing the gas and bloating of lactose intolerance.
