Lactase is an enzyme. Like other enzymes, it is needed for a specific biochemical reaction
in the body. The biochemical reaction that involves lactase breaks down lactose, a sugar in
milk and milk products. Some people's bodies do not make enough lactase, so they are not
able to digest milk well. They can take supplemental lactase to help them break down lactose
and tolerate milk. In these people lactase can prevent symptoms of lactose intolerance
including cramps, diarrhea, and gas.
Function:
Lactase's function is to break down lactose into the two simple sugars it is made up of,
glucose and galactose. Breaking down lactose into its simple sugars makes it possible for
it to be absorbed via the small intestine and used by the body. If lactose is not broken
down, it will pass through the digestive tract without being absorbed.
