Until recently, there has been no effective treatment for lactose intolerance, which can improve the body's ability to produce its own lactase. At most, people suffering from this disorder could only control the symptoms through a monitored diet, namely avoiding milk and dairy foods. However this meant that they were also depriving their bodies of the health benefits derived from important nutrients contained in milk and dairy foods such as Calcium and Vitamin D. Avoidance of dairy should not be an option as according to a publication from the National Library of Medicine, "a new study suggests that lactose intolerant individuals who often restrict dairy and calcium intake, have reduced peak bone mass and increased incidence of osteopenia, and are at a greater risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures." [3] (To learn more about dairy foods, go to About Dairy).

Furthermore recent clinical studies have shown that lactose is hidden in many other foods aside from dairy, making it almost impossible for lactose intolerant suffers to consume a healthy balanced diet while avoiding lactose.

While there is a limited range of low lactose products available in the market, like low lactose milk, keep in mind that low lactose does not mean no lactose. Some may be able to tolerate a glass of low-lactose milk but not more, while others who have severe lactose intolerance may not be able to tolerate it at all.

Alternatively there are lactase-replacement supplements available (although not readily available in Singapore) which need to be taken prior to each meal as it temporally provides your body with the lactase enzymes it needs to digest lactose. This can therefore be inconvenient, costly, and may not relieve all the unpleasant symptoms effectively.

Unlike these short-acting lactase-replacement supplements, DairyCare does not simply offer temporary relief but it actually helps the body naturally produce its own lactase enzymes in the small intestine where it is needed to digest lactose. A once a day digestive supplement, DairyCare effectively relieves lactose intolerance by efficiently delivering Lactobacillus Acidophilus cultures to the body through its patented enteric coated capsules which protect the probiotic from being destroyed by the stomach acid.

Now everyone whether a growing child or adult who wants to avoid the dangers of osteoporosis, can enjoy the goodness of milk, dairy and other lactose-containing foods, with the ideal once-a-day lactose intolerance remedy, DairyCare! There is no reason to feel sick or uncomfortable after drinking milk or eating the foods you love!
