Up to 50 million Americans may have difficulty digesting dairy products. Lactose, a milk sugar, is partly to blame since the enzyme lactase necessary to digest it is lacking in many adults. However, other constituents, namely beta-lactoglobulin from whey protein, are also difficult to digest. Beta-lactoglobulin occurs primarily in the whey fraction of milk and may not be broken down sufficiently by pepsin and pancreatin. Most products are designed to support lactose digestion only, and therefore offer only half of the support needed for optimal digestion of dairy products.

Dairyzimes™ is an innovative blend of lactase and proteases developed to support the digestion of both lactose and proteins for enhanced dairy product digestion. In laboratory studies, Dairyzimes demonstrated lactase activity comparable to a leading brand and provided significant beta-lactoglobulin digestion activity, while the other brand had no such activity.
