Vitakruid Lactase enzyme OptiFerm 3,000 FCC
Lactose is a milk sugar found in milk-based dairy products. Your body uses the enzyme lactase, produced by the small intestine, to digest this milk sugar. When lactose is broken down, the sugars galactose and glucose are released, which are easily digested by the body.
70% have too little lactase
About 70% of adults worldwide have insufficient intestinal lactase, meaning they have difficulty digesting lactose. If your body doesn't produce enough lactase, or doesn't produce enough, the milk sugar enters the large intestine undigested. Here, bacteria in this environment ferment the lactose, causing the body to emit all sorts of unpleasant signals.
3000 FCC per capsule; suitable for children and adults
When you eat lactose products, it's helpful to estimate how much lactase you need to digest the lactose you consume. The strength of the lactase is indicated by the FCC unit. Our lactase OptiFerm® contains 3,000 FCC, a relatively low dosage, making this supplement flexible to dose. Moreover, the low FCC content makes this lactase product suitable for children. The capsules can be opened if swallowing pills is difficult.
How to use lactase
If you have difficulty digesting lactose, you'll need an average of 2-5 capsules to digest one glass of milk. However, this depends on your ability to digest lactose. We therefore recommend starting with a low dose and building up from there to see how much you need.
OptiFerm® lactase for the best stability and activity
OptiFerm® lactase is produced through the controlled fermentation of a fungus called Aspergillus oryzae. This ensures the product has a wide pH range. This keeps the contents stable in the gastrointestinal tract, maximizing the lactase's effectiveness. OptiFerm® lactase is also pure and free of contaminants thanks to a fully sterile filtration process.
Lactase from sustainable developer OptiFerm®
OptiFerm®, a high-quality nutrient developer specializing in enzyme development, is based in Germany. Sustainability is a top priority for them, taking renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and heat recovery into account. With its in-depth and detailed knowledge of lactase, the company is known as a lactase specialist.
No added sweeteners (low FODMAP)
An added benefit is that our lactase is low FODMAP. FODMAPs are carbohydrates, or sugars, found in all kinds of foods. They are also frequently found in lactase products that may contain sweeteners. Our lactase OptiFerm® can therefore be labeled low FODMAP, without added sweeteners.
Lactase in capsules for greater stability
The acidity (pH value) of the stomach is approximately between 1 and 3. Tablet and capsule forms are better absorbed by the body due to a constant pH compared to lactase drops. Capsules make it easy to dose the right amount, with a maximum of 20 capsules per day. This allows you to gauge how much lactase your body needs per lactose-containing meal.
