LACTASE (BETA-GALACTOSIDASE) 5000 FCC ALU

•  5000 Lactase Units.
•  Declared enzyme activity.
•  Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

What is Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000 FCC ALU?

Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000 FCC ALU by EssentialSeries is a vegan food supplement in tablet form based on Beta-galactosidase, a food-grade enzyme derived from Aspergillus oryzae.

This enzyme disaccharidase, i.e. the enzyme responsible for 'breaking' the bonds of a disaccharide, in this case lactose, which is the sugar in milk and dairy products.

Our Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000FCC ALU has been developed without the use of animal ingredients, making it a 100% veggie product suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Lactase properties

• Lactase improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose.¹

Concentration

Many companies that market lactase tell you the mass (milligrams) content of their products.

This is an enzyme, and as such has a unique unit of measurement, which are the enzyme activity units, in this case the ALU (Acid Lactase Units) regulated by the FCC (Food Chemical Code).

This unit is the true sign of the quality of a lactase product.

Raw material

In our case we have obtained our Lactase from a fungus called Aspergillus oryzae.

It has another advantage:

Many lactase presentations, when used concomitantly with milk consumption, produce severe alterations in taste and are non-functional if not allowed to stand for at least 24 hours (DiPalma and Collins, 1989).

Vegan

Our lactase has been produced through an extraction process from the fungal microorganism Aspergillus oryzae, and no excipients of animal origin have been used in the composition of its tablets, which means that it has no animal origin excipients:

Which products combine Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000 FCC ALU with?

It goes great with other products containing digestive enzymes such as:

•  Digezyme®, our enzyme preparation with various types of enzymes.
•  Bromelain 500mg, which contains proteolytic enzymes naturally present in pineapple.

¹ Lactase must be consumed with every lactose-containing meal to achieve this effect. Lactose tolerance is variable and advice should be sought on the role of lactose in the diet.
