How does Lactase 6000 work? The lactase enzyme contained in Lactase 6000 breaks down lactose and takes over the function of the body's own lactase, which is lacking in lactose intolerance. Lactase 6000 enables the enjoyment of milk and milk products without any problems. This also ensures that the body is supplied with the essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins contained in milk. These include protein, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin D. Where does the lactase contained in Lactase 6000 come from? The lactase enzyme contained in Lactase 6000 is not of animal origin. It is produced using the microorganism Aspergillus oryzae, which has been used for decades to produce food enzymes. How is Lactase 6000 used? You should test individually which amount of Lactase 6000 is sufficient for you. This depends in particular on the body's own lactase production and the amount of lactose contained in the meal. As a rule, 6000 FCC units of lactase (one capsule of Lactase6000) allow the consumption of approx. 5-10 g of lactose. The capsules should be taken immediately before or with food or drinks containing lactose. Alternatively, you can open the capsules and add the capsule contents to food or drinks that are up to 50C warm. This is particularly useful when used by children. The capsules are easy to open. Simply press the capsule together slightly and pull the two halves apart at the same time.
