Lactase para Lactose Intolerance

A Evidências Vários grandes ensaios clínicos mostram de forma consistente benefícios significativos.

Exogenous lactase enzyme (6,000-9,000 FCC units with dairy) effectively hydrolyzes lactose, reducing symptoms (gas, bloating, diarrhea) by 70-80% in lactase-deficient individuals.
