When you take the lactase pill in relationship to the lactose in the food you are eating What television program you are watching at the time OK, maybe not that last item. The point is that there is no possible way anybody can compute all the factors that go into this particular equation. Admittedly, for most people the answer is easy. They just need to take a pill or two and their problems are over. They're not the ones asking the question.
Lactase works on most people.
If it doesn't work for you, think of it as a clue. Telling people how much lactase is safe to take is a touchy issue. I have been told, by the proverbial highly placed inside source, that the only reason for this is that their testing did not involve having people take more than 6 tablets at a time, so that the lawyers told them not to make any claims for higher amounts. Lactase in pill form is not even absorbed into the body but stays in your intestines until being broken down into harmless protein fragments. There has never been, to my knowledge, a single medical journal report or even anecdotal evidence of any dosage, however high, causing any problem whatsoever.
