It is precisely with these kinds of meals that standard lactase pills reach their limit. These \u003cstrong\u003elactase 22,000 FCC\u003c\/strong\u003e tablets by Vit4ever are the strongest step in the range and release the enzyme gradually instead of all at once. You can choose between a bottle of 120 or 365 tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy your gut sometimes leaves lactose behind\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLactose is the sugar in milk and dairy. It consists of two smaller sugars attached to each other, glucose and galactose, and your gut can only absorb them when they are separate. That cutting work is done by lactase, an enzyme located in the wall of your small intestine. If your body produces too little of it, some of the lactose passes through undigested to your large intestine, where bacteria turn it into gas. In many people, this natural production gradually decreases after childhood. \u003cstrong\u003eLactase enzyme improves the digestion of lactose in people who have difficulty digesting lactose\u003c\/strong\u003e. This applies when taking at least 4,500 FCC units with each meal containing lactose, together with the lactose; this tablet provides 22,000 FCC. How much lactose someone tolerates varies from person to person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 22,000 FCC units mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFCC stands for Food Chemical Codex and measures the activity of the enzyme, not its weight. With enzymes, weight says very little, just as the strength of a cup of coffee cannot be determined by the amount of water in the cup. It is an international standard, so you can compare the activity of different manufacturers side by side. Dutch lactase tablets usually contain between 3,000 and 4,500 FCC per piece, which according to the dosage instructions on those packages covers approximately one glass of milk. With lactase 22,000 FCC per tablet, you are five times above that, so where you previously placed four or five pills next to your plate, here you stick to one. Vit4ever states that a tablet of 13,000 FCC breaks down approximately 21 grams of lactose and a tablet of 22,000 FCC approximately 37 grams, roughly the lactose in three-quarters of a liter of milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSepismart SR releases the enzyme gradually\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference is not only in the dosage. Dosage and duration of action are two separate properties: a tablet with direct release is largely used up after half an hour to three quarters of an hour, no matter how high it is dosed. This tablet uses Sepismart SR, a combination of xanthan gum and gum arabic that slowly releases the lactase enzyme while the tablet moves through your digestive tract. Vit4ever speaks of a depot effect of up to 6 hours, making this one of the few lactase slow-release tablets in this dosage range. In practice, this means coverage over an entire dinner with multiple courses or a brunch that runs late, without having to take a second tablet halfway through. What many people do not know: precisely with this type of tablet, swallowing it whole is very important, because chewing or breaking it removes the delayed release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMini-tablet of 8 mm and few fillers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tablet is only 8 mm large and weighs approximately 0.31 grams, so it slides down easily with a sip of water. Besides the lactase enzyme, it only contains microcrystalline cellulose, gum arabic, corn starch, and stearic acid, of which the gum and starch are part of the Sepismart SR raw material. No magnesium stearate, flavorings, colorings, gelatin, or preservatives. The tablets are vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free, and the composition is the same for both bottle sizes. With 120 tablets you have a bottle for the dairy moments you can foresee, with 365 tablets a supply for those who use one daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore FCC is not automatically better. It is about the coverage fitting what is on your plate, and that is what this lactase 22,000 FCC tablet with delayed release is designed for. For a cappuccino in between, it is heavily dosed, for a cheese fondue exactly what is intended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"22,000 FCC (Slow-release) \/ 365 tablets","offer_id":49672032321874,"sku":"vit4-396","price":26.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"22,000 FCC (Slow-release) \/ 120 tablets","offer_id":49672032289106,"sku":"vit4-397","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-lactase-22000-depot-tabletten-lactose-in-365-tabletten-1.jpg?v=1793631168","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/lactase-22000-depot-tabletten-lactose-intolerantie-vit4ever","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
