So, what is laktaasi?

Laktaasi is a crucial enzyme that breaks down lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products, into simple sugars that the body can easily digest. This enzyme is naturally produced in the small intestine of humans and animals, but some individuals may lack sufficient levels of laktaasi, resulting in lactose intolerance. Laktaasi supplements are commonly used by those who experience lactose intolerance symptoms such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea. These supplements come in various forms, including tablets, drops, and powders, and can be taken with dairy products to aid in digestion.
