One of the major components of dairy products is the sugar lactose. For most people consuming dairy does not present a problem since their bodies produce sufficient amounts of enzymes to effectively digest these products. Lactose intolerance results when the body is deficient in lactase, the enzyme which breaks down lactose. When a person who is lactose intolerant consumes milk or other dairy items, the body cannot properly break it down. The undigested food ferments in the colon leading to mild to severe nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Thirty to fifty million Americans are lactose intolerant. The condition is more prevalent in some ethnic groups than others. Up to 80% of African-Americans, 80-100% of American Indians, and 90-100% of Asian Americans are lactose intolerant.
Ultra Dairy Support can help relieve the symptoms of lactose intolerance and allow you to enjoy dairy again without the uncomfortable side effects. Ultra Dairy Support provides relief in a two step process. A proprietary enzyme blend helps break down food in the stomach. In addition to the sugar lactose, dairy products contain fats and proteins. The enzyme blend works to break down all three components. Lactase enzyme works specifically to break down lactose converting it to glucose and galactose which the body can then absorb and utilize. Protease enzyme is needed to break down proteins. Proteins provide amino acids which are important to a wide variety of body needs. Lipase breaks down fats. While excessive fats are detrimental to health, your body does require some fats to function properly. Lipase makes fat available to the body.
The second step to helping break down dairy products occurs in the intestines with bacteria. Not all bacteria are bad and in fact some are necessary to digestion. Ultra Dairy Support includes two types of Lactobacillus bacteria. Lactobacillus helps produce lactase and aids in dairy digestion. The Lactobacillus bacteria are microencapsulated to protect it as it passes through the harsh stomach environment.
For maximum effectiveness take Ultra Dairy Support at the same time you consume a dairy product. One vegetarian capsule helps the body digest 8 ounces of milk or yogurt, 4 ounces of ice cream, cottage cheese, or cheese, or 2 tablespoons of butter.
