How does NSI® Lactase Enzyme work?
Lactose is a disaccharide found in milk and certain dairy products such as yogurt and whey. It is made up of two monosaccharide components that are linked together – glucose and galactose. The body cannot absorb lactose and use it as a caloric or nutritional source unless it can first break it down into these two separate components. This inability to digest lactose is called lactose intolerance and may result in indigestion, stomach cramps, gas, heartburn, diarrhea and other GI issues.

Lactase (beta-galactosidase) is an enzyme that exists in the small intestine of many people. It is essential for the digestion of lactose because it is involved in the hydrolysis of lactose to glucose and galactose. However, not everyone produces enough lactase naturally. When the body cannot produce enough of this enzyme, a supplementary form of lactase can assist in lactose digestion, helping to abate the conditions associated with lactose intolerance.

NSI® Lactase Enzyme is better because it:
-- Contains 693 mg and 10,350 FCC units of lactase enzyme in each convenient single capsule serving
-- Helps break down lactose in milk and milk products, contributing to the relief of symptoms related to lactose intolerance
