Can milk be non-lactose?
Milk naturally contains the sugar lactose. Lactose-free milk is made by 'pre-digesting' the lactose in the milk. This is done by adding the enzyme lactase to the milk. The enzyme breaks down the lactose and people who can't digest lactose properly (lactose intolerance) can drink the milk without side-effects.
What Enzyme is Present in Lactaid?
The enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar) is called lactase, and a deficiency can prevent the body from digesting lactose.The Lactaid supplements provide lactase. However the Lactaid brand dairy foods have already been processed to break down the lactose sugar, and do not provide the enzyme.
What sugar is responsible for lactose intolerance?
Galactose is involved with lactose intolerance, but is not responsible for lactose intolerance. The enzyme that is missing or is not found in great enough quantities in the body, lactase, is responsible for not breaking down lactose. This is how the intolerance comes about. The body cannot properly break down lactose without the enzyme lactase present.
How do use enzyme in a sentence?

How does lactid help with lactase intolerance?
It helps with lactose intolerance because contains the enzyme Lactase which if you are Lactose intolerant you body doesn't produce this enzyme and the enzyme lactase in Lactaid pills breaks down the milk sugar(Lactose) making it easier for your body to digest dairy foods.

What is a lactose?
Lactose is a sugar found in milk (particularly cow's milk). Some people can not digest this sugar - they are genetically unable to make the enzyme lactase!. The sugar therfore remains in the gut where gut bacteria and fungi feast on it causing stomach problems. When this happens the person is said to be "lactose Intolerant".
