Lactaid
Lactaid is a dietary supplement used by people with lactose intolerance to help them digest dairy products. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, gas, stomach pain, diarrhea, and cramping. Not only can Lactaid provide lactose intolerance relief, but it can also help people take in calcium and vitamin D by allowing them to consume milk products again. These products are recommended for those over four years of age. Lactaid also manufactures Lactaid milk (lactose-free milk) in many different flavors.
