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

There has been a shortage of the only brand in the country that makes an organic lactose free cottage cheese. So I decided to try making cottage cheese lactose free with an after market product. After a lot of research, found that drops were better for this than powder in capsules. This brand came up as one of the top 3 drops. I looked at the other 2 brands. The first said it's only recommended for liquid dairy and not advised to use in more solid dairy such as cottage cheese. The second brand said nothing about cottage cheese. When I went to the website for this brand, in the comments somebody asked about using for cottage cheese and the company confirmed it would work in cottage chase and gave instructions for how many drops. Tried it a few times now and it does work. The instructions were for 5 drops for the pint sized container and to let sit for 24 to 48 hours. I have erred on the side of caution, allowing at least 36 hours to pass.

I have not used it yet, but I like the packaging and the presence of an expiration date and clear instructions as to usage. I use lactase drops because as an 84 y/o guy I know the lactose intolerance is not unusual, and milk tends to last longer when lactose is removed, it is also sweeter, and adding the drops to the little 1/2 pint containers I get with Meals on Wheels is no big bother. Lack of indigestion (i.e. feeling fine) makes it hard to assess how effective lactase drops are,, bur I just go ahead with them on "general principles".

It is so convenient to be able to eliminate lactose from any dairy when lactose free dairy is 35 miles away.

I purchased these drops because I had used lactase drops about 20 years ago when I discovered them in the dairy section of a larger grocery store. Then the store quit carrying them. I tried other solutions and some were a big hassle and others didn't work that well and some were more money than I wanted to spend weekly. I like drinking milk so I wanted something that tasted like milk. I found lactase drops online and ordered them. This has simplified my life. I always have milk on hand. It is so simple to make your own "lactaid" milk and cheaper. The only problem I have is with measuring the drops. I did the math and 40 drops are needed for a gallon of milk. Using the dropper in the bottle is not very accurate. The "drops" are not uniform in size. I remember the old bottles had a line on the dropper showing how full to fill the dropper to get to 20 or 40 drops. I tried a syringe as suggested in another email but it doesn't fit into the bottle and I ended up spilling the drops. The lactase drops will not result in 76 servings because of the problems with measuring the drops. I would like to see a more accurate measure of the drops and also a chart on the bottle with the amount required for more common measures of milk (really, who buys a pint of milk to use in their home?). Using quart, half-gallon & gallon would make more sense to me.

My daughter is extremely lactose intolerant tolerant. She can’t take those huge lactose horse pills because they are hard for her to swallow and make her feel ill. She puts these drops in everything and they work great…….to the point that she takes a bottle to school and keeps one at home. Highly recommend.

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!

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.

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.
