Moderate Evidence

Evidence Summary

Lactase is a naturally occurring digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose — the sugar found in milk and dairy products. People whose bodies don't produce enough lactase experience bloating, gas, and diarrhea after consuming dairy; taking supplemental lactase before meals can reduce or prevent these symptoms. Clinical trials in infants and preterm newborns show it significantly reduces crying, vomiting, and gastrointestinal distress caused by lactose intolerance, with effects seen within the first week of use.
