Lactase

What Is Lactase?

Lactase, also known as beta-galactosidase, is primarily sourced from microbial fermentation using fungi (such as Aspergillus oryzae), yeasts (like Kluyveromyces lactis), and bacteria. The active ingredient functions as a biological catalyst specifically designed to target lactose, the primary disaccharide sugar found in milk and dairy products.

Product Applications

Alleviating Lactose Intolerance

It effectively breaks down undigested lactose into simpler monosaccharides (glucose and galactose), preventing uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, gas, cramping, and diarrhea.

Enhancing Nutrient Absorption

By facilitating the complete digestion of dairy, it ensures the body can efficiently absorb essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin D without digestive distress.

Supporting Infant Development

It provides galactose, a structural sugar that is essential for the rapid brain development and mucosal tissue growth in infants.

Improving Gut Microbiome

Through transgalactosylation, lactase can generate galactooligosaccharides (GOS), which act as prebiotic fibers to promote beneficial bifidobacteria and maintain intestinal balance.
