Lactase (also known as ß-D-galactosidase), which is normally produced by the lining of the small intestine, hydrolyses ('cuts') lactose into its corresponding monosaccharides, glucose and galactose. The body can then more easily digest these two monosaccharides. Thus, lactase aids in the digestion of lactose.

What is lactose?
Lactose is a milk sugar found in all dairy products derived from milk. Some people cannot properly break down lactose due to a lactase deficiency, leading to unpleasant symptoms such as diarrhoea, flatulence, and bloating.

What does 3000 FCC stand for?
3000 FCC (Food Chemical Codex) in a lactase supplement refers to the amount of lactase enzymes present in the supplement and is a measure of enzyme activity. It means that the supplement can digest the amount of lactose equivalent to 3000 units of the FCC standard. 3000 FCC is a relatively low dosage and can therefore be used by adults and children. You use the number of capsules you need to digest a certain amount of lactose. This can vary from person to person, and it is best to test for yourself at which amount no symptoms occur after consuming a food containing lactose.
