LACTAID(R) Fast Act Dietary Supplement for the lactose intolerant

23/03/05 The United States, LACTAID(R) Fast Act Dietary Supplement, a new supplement that starts working quicker to help those who are lactose intolerant, is being shipped to stores nationwide this month. The new LACTAID(R) Fast Act goes to work twice as fast as any other Ultra strength dietary supplement available to help prevent the symptoms of lactose intolerance.

Lactose intolerance, a condition that refers to the inability to digest milk sugars, is estimated to affect approximately 30-50 million Americans.

For those suffering from this condition, enjoying dairy products is often a challenge, especially when dining out.  Many often shun dairy items altogether to avoid the discomfort commonly associated with lactose intolerance.

Like other dietary supplements, LACTAID(R) Fast Act contains a natural lactase enzyme to make dairy foods easier to digest.  However, because it works faster than any other Ultra strength lactase supplement available, a single LACTAID(R) Fast Act caplet taken with the first bite of dairy helps prevent common lactose intolerance symptoms such as gas, diarrhea and bloating before they can start.

LACTAID(R) Brand Milk and Dietary Supplements are marketed by McNeil Nutritionals, LLC, a Johnson & Johnson company.  LACTAID(R) Brand products allow people with dairy digestive problems to enjoy dairy products once more.

LACTAID(R) Dietary Supplements, which are available in both caplets and chewables, naturally break down the milk sugar, lactose.  LACTAID(R) Milk is perfect for drinking, cooking and baking and is available in whole, 1%, 2%, fat-free and calcium-fortified varieties.
