Between 30 and 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant.
Lactose intolerance is a condition caused by a lack of an
enzyme called lactase. Certain ethnic and racial populations are more widely
affected than others. As many as 75 percent of all African Americans and
American Indians and 90 percent of Asian Americans are lactose intolerant. The
condition is least common among persons of northern European descent.
Lactase is the enzyme in the small intestine that digests
lactose (A dairy sugar). Normally, lactase breaks lactose down into a form that
can be easily absorbed by the blood. When there is not enough lactase to digest
the amount of lactose consumed, water is retained in the bowel, which, results
in bloating and diarrhea. Lactose that passes into the large intestine is
fermented by bacteria. This produces carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane. This
may lead to bloating, cramping and gas.
Lactose Intolerance Indications
Symptoms include cramps, gas and diarrhea. They usually
occur 30 minutes to two hours after ingesting lactose containing foods. The
severity of symptoms usually depends on the amount of lactose ingested and how
much of the enzyme, lactase, remains in the intestinal tract.
Component Benefits of the Lactase Enzyme
Supplementation of lactase allows for lactose to be more
readily digestible and absorbed. By taking Lacto with meals that contain
lactose, you are providing your body with the enzymes needed for proper
digestion of not only dairy sugar (lactose) but fats, carbohydrates, meat
protein and fiber.
