What is lactose intolerance?

Discover Pack: Lacteeze Childrens — Lactose intolerance is a common digestive condition that affects many people, including children. It occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough lactase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. Without enough lactase, undigested lactose reaches the colon, where bacteria ferment it, leading to bothersome symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, or diarrhea. This condition can appear at any age, but it is especially relevant in childhood, where dairy products are often an important source of nutrients. Fortunately, lactase supplements like Lacteeze Childrens offer a practical solution for children to enjoy dairy products without discomfort. These chewable tablets contain the lactase enzyme in a dose adapted for little ones, allowing for proper digestion of lactose.

How does lactase help?

Lactase is an enzyme that plays a fundamental role in the digestion of dairy products. As recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA): “Lactase improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose”. By taking a lactase supplement just before or during a meal containing dairy, the enzyme acts directly on lactose, breaking it down into glucose and galactose, two simple sugars that the body can easily absorb. This prevents lactose from reaching the large intestine intact and causing the typical symptoms of intolerance. Lacteeze Childrens provides high-quality lactase in a presentation specially designed for children: chewable tablets with a pleasant natural strawberry flavor, gluten-free, dairy-free, and free from artificial preservatives or colors. Its formula is designed for children aged 2 to 12, offering a convenient and effective way to accompany the consumption of milk, yogurt, cheese, or other dairy products.

Benefits of lactase supplements

Lactase supplements offer several benefits endorsed by EFSA. The main one is that they help digest lactose, allowing people with intolerance to include dairy in their diet without suffering the associated discomfort. This is especially important in children, as dairy provides essential calcium, vitamin D, and protein for their growth. By using a supplement like Lacteeze Childrens, parents can offer their children a more varied and balanced diet, without having to completely eliminate dairy products. Furthermore, these supplements act exclusively on lactose, without interfering with other digestive processes, and their use is specific: they are only taken when dairy products are consumed. It is important to remember that food supplements do not replace a balanced diet, but they can be a very useful tool to improve the quality of life for those with lactose intolerance.

How to take lactase?

The method of administering lactase supplements depends on the product. In the case of Lacteeze Childrens, these are chewable tablets that should be taken just before or during the intake of foods containing lactose. The recommended dose for children aged 2 to 12 years is 1 to 2 tablets per meal, depending on the amount of dairy consumed and the degree of intolerance. It is important to chew the tablet well so that the enzyme mixes with the food. If desired, it can also be crushed and mixed with soft food. Each package contains 200 tablets, and the 2-unit pack offers a generous supply for daily use. For best results, it is advisable to follow the instructions on the package and consult a healthcare professional in case of doubt, especially if the child has other medical conditions or is taking medication. Remember that lactase is a food supplement, not a medicine, and its effect depends on its correct use.

Possible side effects

Lactase supplements are generally well tolerated and do not usually cause significant side effects. As a natural enzyme present in the body, its consumption is safe at the recommended doses. In very rare cases, some people may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as gas or bloating, especially if the dose is exceeded. To avoid this, it is important not to exceed the indicated amount and to adjust the dose according to individual needs. If the child experiences any persistent adverse reaction, discontinue use and consult a doctor. As with any food supplement, it is essential to keep it out of reach of children and store it in a cool, dry place. Lactase is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and its use should complement, not replace, a varied and balanced diet.
