Description
Anthem Bioscience Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down the milk sugar lactose into glucose and galactose and helps it to be easily absorbed into blood. In certain population groups, the small intestine does not make enough lactase, so they are not able to digest milk, which can lead to diarrhea, cramps, and flatulence. This is referred to as “lactose intolerance“.
