Vitakruid Lactase enzyme OptiFerm 3,000 FCC 90

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. During the breakdown of lactose, the sugars galactose and glucose are released, which are easily digestible for the body.

70% have insufficient lactase
Approximately 70% of adults worldwide have insufficient intestinal lactase, which means they have difficulty digesting lactose. If your body produces little or no lactase, the milk sugar remains undigested in the large intestine. Here, the bacteria in this environment cause the fermentation of lactose, leading the body to emit various unpleasant signals.

3000 FCC per capsule; suitable for children and adults
When you eat lactose products, it is helpful to estimate how much lactase you need to digest the consumed lactose. We indicate the strength of the lactase with the unit FCC. Our lactase OptiFerm® contains 3,000 FCC, a relatively low dosage that makes this supplement flexible to dose. Moreover, the low FCC content makes this lactase product suitable for children. The capsules can be opened when swallowing pills is difficult.

How to use lactase
When you have difficulty digesting lactose, you generally need 2 – 5 capsules to digest one glass of milk. However, this depends on how well you can digest lactose. Therefore, we recommend starting with a low dosage and building up from there to see how much you need.

OptiFerm® lactase for the best stability and activity
OptiFerm® lactase is produced through controlled fermentation of a fungus called Aspergillus oryzae. This ensures that the product has a wide pH value range. As a result, the content remains stable in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing the lactase to be maximally effective. Additionally, OptiFerm® lactase is pure and free from contaminants due to a fully sterile filtration process.

Lactase from sustainable developer OptiFerm®
The company OptiFerm®, a high-quality nutrient developer specialized in enzyme development, is based in Germany. Sustainability is a top priority for them. They take into account renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and heat recovery. With their in-depth and detailed knowledge of lactase, the company is known as a lactase specialist.

Without added sweeteners (low FODMAP)
An additional benefit is that our lactase is low FODMAP. FODMAPs are carbohydrates, or sugars, that occur in various foods. They are also often found in lactase products that may contain sweeteners. Our lactase OptiFerm® can therefore be labeled as low FODMAP, without added sweeteners.

Lactase in capsules for more 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 in relation to lactase drops. The capsules make it easy for you to dose the right amount, with a maximum of 20 capsules per day. You can sense how much lactase your body needs per lactose-containing meal.
