webber naturals Lactase Enzyme Extra Strength 140 Capsules, 2-pack 

Description

Lactase Enzyme Extra Strength from Webber Naturals may be a suitable choice for anyone seeking help for the digestion of lactose present in dairy products.
Lactose, a naturally occurring sugar found in milk and dairy products, is digested in the body by the enzyme lactase. (1) Insufficient amounts of this enzyme can lead to an inability to digest lactose – a condition known as lactose intolerance. Gas, abdominal bloating, cramping, and diarrhea are common symptoms of people who have trouble digesting lactose. (1) Lactase Enzyme Extra Strength from Webber Naturals is a digestive enzyme that assists in the digestion of foods containing lactose, and helps prevent the symptoms of lactose intolerance. (2-7)
