How does Nu-Zymes™ help with lactose digestion?
A. The inability to digest lactose may cause malabsorption and physical discomfort, such as cramping, bloating, gas and diarrhea. Lactase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose. Clinical studies have shown that people who supplement with the enzyme lactase decrease their symptoms of lactose intolerance associated with eating dairy foods. Many people have tried to take lactase supplements only to have poor results. Those people then return to eliminating all dairy products from their diets, which may affect their risks for osteoporosis. A combination of lactase, protease and lipase may be the best solution for these people, as these enzymes address the individual conditions associated with lactose intolerance.
