DSM has launched Tolerase L, a digestive aid for people who suffer from lactose intolerance. Tolerase L is an acid lactase that converts lactose, a milk sugar naturally present in dairy products, into glucose and galactose. Around half of the world’s population are lactose intolerant and do not produce any or sufficient quantities of lactase, leading to discomfort including bloating, gas, diarrhea and abdominal cramps once the undigested lactose reaches the large intestine. Tolerase L acts at a low pH to digest lactose in the stomach and relieve these symptoms. The science behind acid lactase is supported by a positive opinion from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which has concluded that the "lactase enzyme contributes to breaking down lactose1.”
