Nutricost Lactase Powder 500 Grams - Non-GMO, Gluten Free

This product has really been amazing for mitigating my lactose intolerance symptoms. Being able to premix into foods or just add as needed on the spot is a huge benefit that products in a pill or chewable form are severely lacking. This is the best solution I’ve found and the math says it’s also the most economical. Perfect.

I prefer the Quality of lactase powder over capsules or tablets, just need to take the time to mix it in milk or Greek yogurt, If you want it to work faster, let it sit on counter, warmth wakes up the enzymes for ease of digestion, then refrigerate, I also shake before use. If I'm having something cheesy, I will mix the recommended two scoops in a big coffee, not like I need to cover up the taste, it's neutral. Then I can enjoy lasagna, pizza, mulitas, ect...key is to get them in your gut first, then consume. I don't get any bloating, gas or discomfort. I think the pills are just hit and miss, and I don't like to chance a miss.

In short: when I take lactase pills with dairy, I'm fine. When I take this powder (even a LOT of this powder) with dairy, I get pain, bloating...all of it. The best explanation I can pass along is that the lactase needs to actually make its way into your small intestine to work: in powder form the lactase itself is digested in your stomach; a pill takes longer to break down. I can't fully vouch for the science behind that, but it certainly lines up with my experience. This product doesn't work at all (for me).

If you are lactose intolerant, no matter how bad or mild, this stuff is a blessing! I have been using it for, well I guess a couple of years now. I was skeptical because the lactase pills never worked for me. Using this I have been able to add it to heavy cream to make whipped cream, cream cheese to make cheese cake, basically any ingredient that is not a full on solid, and it neutralizes the lactose in the product. I add what I deem is an appropriate amount of the powder to the product, stir or shake and put in the fridge. I usually give 3 days or more, shaking/stirring at least once a day. I have told several other people about it and everyone has had the same results that I have had.. This vendor gets the product to me on time and never an issue. I've been contemplating trying to make my own cheese using this, maybe someday I'll give it a try.

Love how easy this is t use. I make a lot of milk protein shakes and I am massively lactose intolerant. I use a double dose because I hate the bathroom trips....a little insurance is nice! It blends perfectly with cows milk but I prefer it with goat milk as it has less lactose to begin with. One noticeable side effect is that when lactase converts lactose in to other sugars (Glucose and Galactose) the milk will often be sweeter tasting to me. It is actually science, but surprised nobody mentions it. Also it does not make anything taste like the smell of motor oil like one reviewer alleges...not does it contain Bromalain or any other enzymes besides lactase. Yes there is a filler but that is minimal and is added to make dosing easy to calculate (not a conspiracy). As for folks that say it doesn't work...I don't think they have problems with just lactose...it could be the A1 Casein protein found in most grocery stores commercial dairy sources..try A2 milk or even better.. goat milk (less lactose and is A2 protein) A2 Casein protein is WAYYYYYYY easier to digest and also doesn't irritate your gut lining like A1 Casein does. Try adding the correct amount of powder to A2 milk and it is smooth, sweet, sailing! I love Nutricost. The only thing I do not like? The paper and glue cover to the jars they use are too hard to open...literally every Nutricost product seems to have them..but you only remove them once.

I have a terrible time digesting dairy, so after doing some research I ordered this to help with that. Well it didn't work for me, but it has nothing to do with the lactase powder. My understanding is that lactase breaks down dairy sugars, but the issue for me is the dairy proteins. Instead, after investing in protease (the enzyme that breaks down dairy proteins) capsules, my problem is solved. So take my review as a reflection of my own experimentation, not reflective of the products quality, good or bad. PS - I use quite a few of Nutri-Cost products and they've been greet.

I am lactate intolerant. If I have dairy during the day at night, I pay the price with muscle cramps and spasms in my feet and lower legs. Until it wakes me up and then I take one scoop in water and it’s almost instant this is a very, very good product. I highly recommend it

I was tired of paying a high premium for lactase-treated milk. This was my first time trying a powder, and I was skeptical, considering some of the other reviews, but I decided to give it a shot. Here's what worked for me, keeping in mind that the longer you give, the more the powder works. The enzyme keeps eating the lactose. It doesn't stop working. Nature is cool. First, I treated a gallon of milk around 4 days before my current milk was finished. That would give the enzymes plenty of time to work. I found the latest date available in the store. Then, I mixed in 2 heaping scoops in instead of just one. While I'd prefer to use just one scoop, I can live with $0.50/gallon. I mixed it with a little milk from the new bottle before pouring it in. No lumps. Finally, I shook it. I actually shook it once a day for a couple of days. Might have been unnecessary, but I felt better. Anyway, it's worked out great! I've used it for several gallons, so far. The powder means it will last without spoiling. I have also started adding it to my homemade hot cocoa mix, since I use whole dry milk powder to make it. Another use is in my homemade granola. That way, I'm ready if I only have untreated milk to drink. My tummy is pleased.

Works flawlessly, cheaper to make lactose-free milk with this powder than to buy it from a store.
