FAQ's lactase capsules and tablets

We recommend starting with 3 capsules of lactase 3000 or lactase 10,000, 4 tablets of lactase 2500 or 2 tablets of lactase 20,000 prior to lactose-containing meals. This way, enough of the digestive enzyme lactase enters the body, which helps digest lactose. Should this amount be sufficient, you could try a lower dosage. How many tablets or capsules are sufficient may vary from person to person.

Our lactase capsules and tablets are safe to use several times a day. We do recommend that you stick to the maximum set number of tablets or capsules per day. For the lactase 2500 this is a maximum of 20 tablets per day, for the lactase 10,000 this is a maximum of 15 capsules per day. For the lactase 20,000, the maximum is 10 tablets per day.

With the lactase tablets and capsules, we have different strengths available. This strength is expressed in FCC per capsule. You can choose from 2500, 10,000 and 20,000. If it is your first time trying one of our lactase products, we generally recommend trying one of the higher strengths first, for example the 10,000 or 20,000. Starting higher will give you a clearer indication of whether it will work well for you or not when you first try it. At a lower dose, it may be unclear if it helps or not, or it may be that the dose wasn't high enough. If you have a milder degree of intolerance or only want to use the capsules or tablets for smaller amounts of lactose, you can choose the 2500 tablets. If you are more sensitive to lactose or want to consume larger amounts of lactose you may want to choose the 10,000 or 20,000.

Yes, also kids can use our lactase capsules and tablets. The products are also suitable for young children. You only need to think about if they can swallow the size of the capsule or tablet. The capsules also can be opened and then you can only give the lactase enzyme powder to your child with some drink, or spread it over the food. (be careful with hot food, then the enzymes can become ineffective).

Lactase 20,000 contains in addition to the lactase enzyme the filler: cellulose and as an anti-caking agent: silica and magnesium stearate. Lactase 2500 contains in addition to the lactase enzyme the filler: dextrose and cellulose, and as an anti-caking agent: magnesium stearate.
