Dairy Ease
Dairy Ease is an over-the-counter dietary supplement containing the lactase enzyme. It is used by individuals with lactose intolerance to help digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and other dairy products, thereby preventing digestive discomfort.
Dosage by Body Weight
Take with the first bite or sip of dairy products. Dosage can be adjusted based on the amount of dairy consumed, but typically starts at 1 to 3 tablets per dairy-containing meal. Consult a pediatrician before giving to children under 4 years of age.
