What is Scitec Nutrition Lactase Enzyme?
Scitec Nutrition Lactase Enzyme is a digestive enzyme supplement for people who have difficulty digesting lactose, the natural sugar in milk and dairy products. Each capsule provides 5000 FCC units (Food Chemicals Codex) of lactase, also called β-galactosidase. Lactase breaks lactose down into two simple sugars, glucose and galactose, which the body can absorb easily.
Lactose intolerance happens when the body does not produce enough of its own lactase. The supplement does not change that. It supplies the enzyme at the moment you eat, directly before a meal containing lactose. Scitec’s guidance is 1 capsule immediately before each lactose-containing meal. One capsule is generally sufficient for 20 to 25g of lactose, which corresponds to about 400ml of whole milk.
For athletes, the practical interest is simple. Whey concentrate, casein, caseinate and other milk proteins are among the most effective and widely used protein sources in sports nutrition, but they can be hard to tolerate for people who are sensitive to lactose. Scitec presents Lactase Enzyme as the supplement for those who want the benefits of these milk-based proteins despite lactose intolerance.
The enzyme is a microgranulated lactase (Tolerase™ L) in a gelatin capsule. Each capsule provides 5000 FCC units, which is above the 4500 FCC threshold associated with the EU-authorised claim that lactase enzyme improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose.
Available in a single 100-capsule format, which provides 100 servings.
The enzyme your body is missing. One capsule before the dairy.

🥛 5000 FCC units of lactase per capsule
Each capsule delivers 5000 FCC units of lactase, which is above the 4500 FCC units required for the EU-authorised claim: lactase enzyme improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose. The beneficial effect applies when the capsule is taken at the moment of consumption of lactose-containing food.
🍽️ Works at the meal, on the lactose present at that meal
Lactase acts on the lactose you are eating right now. That is why the capsule is taken immediately before a lactose-containing meal and not at a fixed time of day. One capsule covers about 20 to 25g of lactose, roughly the amount in 400ml of whole milk.
💪 Keep milk proteins in your routine
Whey concentrate, casein, caseinate and milk proteins are staples of sports nutrition. For people sensitive to lactose, taking a capsule before a shake or a dairy-based meal makes it easier to keep these protein sources in the diet.
🧪 A named, microgranulated lactase (Tolerase™ L)
The enzyme is a microgranulated β-galactosidase with a named source, so the 5000 FCC units per capsule are declared transparently on the label.
💊 A simple daily routine — 100 servings per pack
One capsule per serving, no powder to measure, nothing to mix. It is easy to carry and take whenever dairy is on the menu, and one pack provides 100 servings.
🎯 Goal guide
🏋️ Athletes using milk-based proteins: 1 capsule before a whey, casein or gainer shake if lactose gives you trouble.
🍕 Dairy-rich meals: 1 capsule before a meal with milk, cream, soft cheese, yoghurt or ice cream.
⚖️ Everyday comfort with dairy: 1 capsule whenever you choose to eat lactose-containing foods.
Serving suggestion
Take 1 capsule immediately before each meal that contains lactose, with a little water. One capsule is generally sufficient for the digestion of 20 to 25g of lactose, about 400ml of whole milk. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children. Food supplements do not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Best times to take it
🍽️ Immediately before a lactose-containing meal (primary recommendation)
Lactase works on the lactose present at that meal. Take the capsule right before you eat, so the enzyme is available when the lactose arrives.
🥤 Before a milk-protein shake
Take 1 capsule just before a shake made with whey concentrate, casein, caseinate, milk protein or a milk-based gainer, or one mixed with milk.
🍨 Before dairy desserts and snacks
Use it before ice cream, creamy desserts or a cheese platter when you want to enjoy dairy without the usual discomfort.

Ingredient list
Lactase enzyme (microgranulated β-galactosidase, Tolerase™ L), bulking agent (microcrystalline cellulose), capsule shell (bovine gelatin).
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | Role |
|---|---|
| Lactase (β-galactosidase), 5000 FCC | Breaks lactose into glucose and galactose |
| Microcrystalline cellulose | Bulking agent |
| Bovine gelatin | Capsule shell |
Allergens
No allergens declared in the formula. This is not a treatment for milk allergy: lactase breaks down lactose, not milk proteins. The capsule shell contains bovine gelatin, so the product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Always refer to the current product label for the most up-to-date allergen information.

Q1 — What does lactase actually do?
Lactase (β-galactosidase) is the enzyme that splits lactose, the sugar in milk, into glucose and galactose. These two simple sugars are absorbed easily by the body. People with lactose intolerance produce too little of their own lactase, so the supplement provides the enzyme at the moment of the meal.
Q2 — Is lactose intolerance the same as a milk allergy?
No. Lactose intolerance is a difficulty digesting the milk sugar, and lactase helps with that. A milk allergy is an immune reaction to milk proteins, and lactase does not help. People with a milk allergy must avoid milk products and should not rely on this supplement.
Q3 — How many capsules do I need?
Scitec’s guidance is 1 capsule immediately before each lactose-containing meal. One capsule is generally sufficient for 20 to 25g of lactose, about 400ml of whole milk. Follow the directions on the pack and do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you regularly eat more lactose than that, or symptoms persist, ask a physician or dietitian.
Q4 — Can I use it with my protein shakes?
Yes, that is one of its main purposes. Whey concentrate, casein, caseinate, milk proteins and many gainers contain lactose, as does milk if you mix with it. Take a capsule just before the shake. Whey isolates contain much less lactose than concentrates, so you may need it less often with those.
Q5 — Do I still need it with lactose-free products?
No. Lactose-free milk, yoghurt and other lactose-free products already have the lactose removed or broken down, so there is nothing for the enzyme to act on.
