LactoZYME is a digestive enzyme formulation that works to help breakdown the main components of dairy products (lactose, protein, and fats).

In most cases, problems digesting dairy products are due to trouble breaking down 'lactose', a component in all dairy products. This is due to the body not producing adequate levels of the enzyme lactase.

This inability to breakdown 'lactose' can cause painful gas, bloating, diarrhea, and other digestive upsets. LactoZYME contains the enzyme lactase to help with this problem. 

However, for many people, lactose is not the only problem. As dairy is a complex food that includes carbohydrates, protein and fats, there are some who find that adding the lactase enzyme is not enough to help their digestion of dairy based foods. This is because they are also having difficulty breaking down the fats and proteins contained in dairy.

LactoZYME also contains the digestive enzymes lipase and protease that work to enhance digestion of the fats and proteins contained in dairy. This makes it a highly effective product for those who suffer from lactose intolerance.

Are you lactose intolerant? Does it seem that every time you eat dairy products, such as milk and ice cream, you get indigestion, gas, cramps or even loose stools? Many people lack the ability to break down lactose, the sugar found in milk and some other dairy products. Only one third of all people reaching adulthood continue to produce the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the lactose sugar. To complicate the matter, many people also lack the ability to properly digest the fat found in dairy foods. This can be due to a lack of production of the enzyme lipase which digests fat. Without the proper amount of lactase and lipase, eating dairy foods can result in very uncomfortable digestive disturbances.

Get relief with LactoZYME™ an advanced plant enzyme blend formulated specifically for breaking down dairy foods.* It contains a higher amount of lactase to properly digest the lactose molecule, lipase to digest the fat found in dairy and papain to increase protein digestion and soothe indigestion.* Taken with meals that contain dairy, LactoZYME™ can provide the relief you are looking for.

Why Take Enzymes? Enzymes break down and digest food so the body can use it. Fresh, raw foods contain plenty of enzymes to help with digestion, but with today’s diet of cooked and processed foods, many of the natural enzymes are cooked out. Without the enzymes needed for proper digestion, the body may not digest the valuable nutrients it needs. In addition to depriving you of important nutrients, incomplete digestion can lead to intestinal toxemia (a toxic condition in the bowel), as undigested foods can p u t refy and ferment in the digestive tract.

Support Healthy Digestion By:

Maintaining Intestinal Health

Many foods that we eat, other substances we consume and our lifestyles contribute to intestinal disorders.  Highly processed foods, alcohol, medications and tobacco are difficult for our body to break down and may also physically damage the digestive lining. Processed foods are also deficient in nutrients so not only does the body have to work extra hard to digest the food, but it also gets depleted of the things it needs to do its work. Water and fibre intake is important to have proper moisture and bulk in the stool and make bowel movements regular.

Stress, anxiety and other emotional concerns put our nervous system in an excited state.  Our digestive processes are only fully functional when our nervous system is relaxed.  Sedentary lifestyles decrease movement throughout the digestive tract.  As our transit time slows there is more opportunity for the re-absorption of processed toxins and greater chance of microbial overgrowth.  Slow transit time also dries the stool and makes it more difficult to pass.  Our body is designed so that each time we eat a meal we have a bowel movement.  Many individuals can be considered constipated and have bowel movements less than once daily. One can eat the most nutritious food but if the intestinal membrane is not in good working order the body will not be able to absorb the nutrients.

Some of the most important players in intestinal health are not part of our own body.  Friendly intestinal bacteria, often called probiotics, are an essential part of digestion.  They break down food particles, manufacture vitamins and prevent the infection of the tract with other microbes.  Each bowel movement actually contains millions of these friendly bacteria; they are in a constant state of renewal. Many concerns like indigestion, gas, bloating and constipation can be due to an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria. It is easy to upset this balance by improper diet or taking medications like antibiotics.

Food that support intestinal health are vegetarian protein, raw vegetables and fruits, whole grains, brown rice, potatoes, carrots, turnips, soy products and green drinks.  Consume fermented products (if you have healthy digestion) like yogurt, kefir, quark, buttermilk and natural cheeses to replenish the friendly bacteria that assist with nutrient digestion. Broil or bake fish and meats instead of frying.  Steam vegetables lightly. Limit or avoid: sugar, refined foods, alcohol, nicotine, coffee and other intestinal irritants.

Directions: Take one capsule per serving of dairy products (1 serving = 250ml or 1 cup).

Warning: Do not use after recent surgery. Do not exceed recommended dose. Keep out of reach of children.
