For those who struggle to digest lactose, this can be unpleasant. These \u003cstrong\u003elactase\u003c\/strong\u003e tablets contain 13,000 FCC units of pure lactase enzyme per tablet. You can choose between a bottle of 120 or 365 tablets. Convenient for home and on the go, so you don't have to avoid dairy by default but can adjust as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat lactase does in your body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLactose is the sugar in milk and dairy, made up of two smaller sugars: glucose and galactose. Your body normally breaks down this sugar with its own enzyme: lactase, which is found in the wall of your small intestine. If your intestine produces too little of this enzyme, the lactose remains undigested and travels to your large intestine, where bacteria get to work on it. That is where a lactase supplement comes in. The lactase enzyme improves the digestion of lactose in people who have difficulty digesting lactose. This effect is achieved with at least 4,500 FCC units of lactase per meal containing lactose; one tablet contains 13,000 FCC. You take it at the time you eat or drink dairy, so that the enzyme and the lactose arrive in your intestines together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e13,000 FCC, what does that number mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFCC stands for Food Chemicals Codex, the standard by which the amount of active enzyme per tablet is expressed. The higher the number, the more lactose a tablet can handle. One tablet with 13,000 FCC breaks down approximately 21 grams of lactose, roughly the amount in half a liter of milk. In the Netherlands, most lactase pills contain between 3,000 and 4,500 FCC. These lactase tablets are therefore in the higher segment. Convenient if you have a larger meal with a lot of dairy ahead of you, for example a pizza or a creamy dish, and don't want to swallow multiple pills every time. Many people wonder how many they need; that depends on how much lactose is on your plate and how sensitive you are yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSlow release with Sepismart SR\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder why this tablet is called a depot. The difference lies in the release. According to the ingredients list, the bottle of 365 tablets contains the branded raw material Sepismart SR (xanthan gum and gum arabic), a slow-release excipient that prevents the lactase enzyme from being released all at once, but gradually. The bottle of 120 tablets has a different composition, with gum arabic as a coating agent and corn starch as a filler, without Sepismart SR. Therefore, check the ingredients list of the respective bottle when making your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall tablet, few fillers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tablets are only 8 mm in size and easy to swallow, even on the go without water at hand. They are 100% vegan and contain no magnesium stearate, flavorings, colorings, or gelatin. Also lactose-free and gluten-free. Produced in Germany and Europe, filled according to the HACCP, GMP, and ISO 22000:2018 standards, which says something about the way production is organized and controlled. And because there are few fillers in them, the tablet remains compact and contains a relatively large amount of enzyme in a small size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you choose the small bottle of 120 or the year's supply of 365 tablets, you get the same 13,000 FCC per tablet every time. These lactase tablets are a practical choice for anyone who wants to continue eating dairy without having to think too much about it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"13,000 FCC (Slow-release) \/ 365 tablets","offer_id":53893631967570,"sku":"vit4-371","price":26.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"13,000 FCC (Slow-release) \/ 120 tablets","offer_id":53893632917842,"sku":"vit4-348","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-lactase-13000-depot-tabletten-lactose-in-365-tabletten-1.jpg?v=1793631168","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/lactase-13000-depot-tabletten-lactose-intolerantie-vit4ever","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
