Lamberts Lactase Enzyme 9000 FCC 60 Tablets are a food supplement providing 9000 FCC units of lactase in each tablet. Lactase is the digestive enzyme needed to break down lactose, the milk sugar, and the tablet is taken before a meal containing dairy products.

Key Features

• 9000 FCC per tablet: Each tablet supplies lactase at an enzyme activity of 9000 FCC (Food Chemical Codex) units.
• Taken before dairy meals: Take 1 tablet before a meal containing dairy products (lactose).
• Daily limit: Do not exceed 3 tablets per day.
• Suitable for vegetarians and vegans: The manufacturer states the tablets are suitable for both.

Why is lactase strength given in FCC units and not milligrams?

FCC units measure enzyme activity, which the manufacturer says describes the level of activity better than weight in milligrams. Lamberts states that this high potency product can only be compared with other makers products if they also give units of activity, not weight.

How long does a pack of 60 tablets last?

The pack lasts at least 20 days if you take the maximum of 3 tablets every day. It lasts longer when you take fewer, as the directions are 1 tablet before each meal containing dairy products.

Should I take the tablet with meals that do not contain dairy?

The manufacturer's directions cover only meals containing dairy products (lactose), so the tablet is taken before those meals.
