What is Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000 FCC ALU?
Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000 FCC ALU from EssentialSeries is a vegan tablet supplement made from Beta-galactosidase, an enzyme intended for human consumption derived from Aspergillus oryzae.
This enzyme is a disaccharidase, meaning it’s responsible for 'breaking' the bonds of a disaccharide, in this case lactose, which is the sugar in milk and dairy products.
Our Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000FCC ALU has been developed without using any animal-derived ingredients, making it a 100% veggie product suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Properties of lactase
- Lactase improves lactose digestion in people who have trouble digesting it.1
Why take Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000 FCC ALU?
Did you know that…
Between 65 and 70% of humans lose the ability to break down lactose in the intestine during the first years of life and develop a variable intolerance to this sugar?
(Bayless et al., 2017)
Why buy Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000 FCC ALU at HSN?
Concentration
Many companies selling lactase state the content of their products by mass (milligrams).
This is an enzyme, and as such it has a unique measurement unit, which is enzymatic activity units, in this case ALU (Acid Lactase Units) regulated by the FCC (Food Chemicals Codex).
This unit is the real sign of quality in a lactase product.
Our Lactase has 5000 units per tablet, while other good-quality options on the market have 3000–3300 units per tablet.2 That’s 60% more!
Raw material
In our case, we’ve sourced our Lactase from a fungus called Aspergillus oryzae.
It also has another advantage:
Many lactase products, when taken alongside milk, cause severe changes in its taste.
On the other hand, our lactase works simply by taking it 15 minutes before consuming dairy, no need to let it sit, and it doesn’t alter the natural sweetness of the food.
Vegan
Our lactase is produced through an extraction process from the fungal microorganism Aspergillus oryzae, and no animal-derived excipients are used in the tablet composition, so:
Our Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000FCC ALU is a product suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
What products can I combine Lactase (Beta-Galactosidase) 5000 FCC ALU with?
With other products containing digestive enzymes like:
- Digezyme®, our enzyme blend with several types of enzymes.
- Bromelain 500mg, which contains proteolytic enzymes naturally found in pineapple.
