Seeking Health Lactase Drops - Liquid Supplement with Dairy Intolerance - Support for Digestion - Lactase Enzyme Supplement - 0.50 Fl oz, 52 Servings

One of the unpleasant realities of getting older for many people includes losing the ability to digest the natural sugar in milk, lactose. Most children and young adults produce an enzyme, lactase, that breaks down milk so our bodies can use it. But as we age, many people don't produce lactase in sufficient quantity to digest lactose. If you have wondered why eating some foods gives you gas when they didn't bother you in your youth, read the labels and look for milk products within. You know that ice cream, cheese and yogurt contain milk, but also most desserts, baked goods, and other manufactured foods contain either milk, cream, butter or lactose. Lactose is sometimes used as an alternative to sucrose (sugar) to sweeten foods. There are two ways that lactose-intolerant people can eat milk products without gas discomfort: by adding lactose to the food, or taking a lactose pill while eating the food. The problem with the pill is it does not have sufficient time to break down all the lactose when it is already in your stomach. However, if you add lactase 24 hours in advance to any kind of milk (e.g., whole, 2%, 1%, nonfat) or cream, the enzyme has time to break down the lactose. I just made ice cream by adding Liquid Lactase to the milk and cream before putting them in the ice cream maker, and I enjoyed ice cream without any discomfort! Homemade ice cream is also all natural--no gums, stabilizers and fillers that many commercial ice creams have. You can also make lactose-free butter using cream. Butter is simply churned cream, so you can add Liquid Lactase to cream and shake it into butter in about 20-30 minutes. It helps to have a partner share this exercise if your arms tire easily. If you like salt in your butter, add it to the cream before shaking it. Another bonus to making your own lactose-free milk is that it is less expensive than buying pre-made brands!

Bought for baby opossums because they are unable to tolerate lactose. It worked, kept them healthy and they never got ill from the milk

We have a lactose intolerant in the household. It isn't terrible, but its not good either. I think the instructions say to use like 18 drops per quart or something like that. We started off at 18 per half gallon and slowly started to reduce until problems started to happen. I am now at about 12 per gallon with no ill effects. I have to say this stuff is awesome. I can taste it, but its not bad. It is nowhere near as bad as the popular Milk brand is. With this we are able to save money by buying regular organic milk and treating it. It is a good deal overall. We use this to treat half and half and heavy cream when making ice cream, and while I usually forget to do it the night before, it still helps reduce the effects for home made ice cream. I have been using this for about 1 year now. really good stuff.

I mixed the correct ratio into half 'n half ahead of time to cool in fridge. It worked well with my coffee; no stomach upset. Today, I used two drops into my coffee that already had the cream and I had an upset stomach. Right now, six hours after drinking it, I have an upset stomach/bowel. Thus, mix it ahead of time.

I started adding this to kefir (cultured milk) and it definitely makes it easier to digest. It also works for yogurt. The cost is less than buying the lactose free versions of kefir and yogurt, which are sometimes out of stock anyway. I didn't write a review until I'd used an entire bottle and purchased another one because I wanted to be certain that it made a difference.

I put 14 drops of lactase enzymes in regular milk - 1 quart. I waited for 3 days before consuming. I had abdominal pain and my lower abdominal began to expand larger and larger as if I were pregnant and it was around 1 am in the morning when things started to get worrisome. I was hoping to sleep off the pain. I couldn't sleep and was tossing and turning in pain. The pain was so bad that I thought my internal organs were going to burst! I was in so much pain. Thankfully, I remembered that I had just bought probiotics, (RAW garden of Life for Women). I stopped using probiotics for many years and decided to get back on them again. Shortly after taking only 1 capsule, the bloating went down and the pain subsided and eventually stopped. THANKFULLY I recently bought probiotics and remembered that it might have lactase. Maybe enzyme drops work for other people but it did not work for me. I will never try this again. I'm sticking to store bought lactose free milk.

Completely changed the way i buy dairy now and it has helped a ton!!! completely worth it if u r lactose intolerance.

Of the different Lactase suppliments you can take, I prefer drops by far. The bottle fits in your pocket (much smaller than pill bottle), and counting drops is not difficult. Wtih Lactaid pills, for example, it was all trial-and-error to find the right number of pills to take, how long before eating you should take them, and after using it for a while, it seemed like it stopped working. Of the liquids, I have the most trust in this product. I was going back and forth between Milk Aid (which are fine drops, too) and seeking health. The seeking health costs twice as much per bottle, but the bottles are 1 oz instead of 1/2 oz, so that cancels. What persuaded me is that Milk Aid directs you to use 10 drops for a pint of milk. Seeking Health tincture is only 7 drops per pint. So Seeking Health is actually a better value. To my surprise!

Buen producto. Es la segunda vez que las compro. Si bien, han ayudado ha disminuir los cólicos en mi hijo de 5 años al tomar lácteos, aún tiene problemas de gases, pero definitivamente ya no sufre al tomar la leche. 100% recomendable.
