In the case of food supplements formulated for people with lactose intolerance, the FCC identifies the capacity of lactase<\/a> to break down lactose<\/a> to digest it better. If you are lactose intolerant, you should therefore use this standard as a guide when choosing your lactase supplementation method.<\/p>\n To understand the function of lactase<\/a> within the body, you first need to understand what's behind lactose.<\/p>\n Lactose is the milk sugar.<\/strong> This complex sugar is only digestible when broken down into 2 simple carbohydrates: glucose and galactose. This is precisely what lactase<\/strong> produced in the small intestine, which dissociates the lactose to make it available to the digestive tract.<\/p>\n However, the body's production of lactase decreases with age<\/strong>. It reaches a residual level of 5 to 10%, on average, in adulthood, which is why around 75% of the world's population is actually affected by lactose intolerance.<\/p>\n This food intolerance<\/a> is manifested by digestive discomfort of varying degrees linked to the consumption of lactose-rich foods (dairy products, cold meats, processed products, etc.).<\/p>\n In this context, lactase supplementation<\/strong> by means of targeted food supplements helps to compensate for the lack of lactase in the body to improve the quality of life of lactose intolerant people. The CFC plays a central role here, enabling individuals to find the supplements best suited to their level of digestive discomfort.<\/p>\n As a general rule, people prone to alactasia (the other name for lactose intolerance) can consume up to 12 g of lactose<\/a> per day<\/strong> without suffering the inconveniences of intolerance: bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhoea, etc.<\/p>\n To support all lactose intolerant profiles, our laboratory has developed the following food supplements, for example LACTOLERANCE 4500<\/a> and LACTOLERANCE 9000<\/a>. The numbers \"4500<\/strong>\"and9000<\/strong>The term \"lactose\" refers here to the FCC and, by extension, to the amount of lactose that can be assimilated by the body.<\/p>\n As a guide, 1,000 FCC corresponds to 5g of digestible lactose.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n A LACTOLERANCE 4500 supplement can therefore assimilate 22.5 g of lactose, while a LACTOLERANCE 9000 supplement offers the possibility of consuming up to 45g of lactose per capsule!<\/strong><\/p>\n In other words, the former is suitable for moderate intolerants, while the latter is aimed at individuals with a very high sensitivity to lactose.<\/p>\n Please note: FCC remains a theoretical figure measured in vitro in the laboratory.<\/strong> It is necessary to adapt the number of capsules to the level of intolerance and the quantity of lactose to be absorbed. Our top 10 foods richest in lactose<\/a> will help you to identify the food most likely to cause adverse reactions, particularly if you are planning a meal in a restaurant or with friends.<\/p>\nWhat is the role of the enzyme lactase?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
