When do I take lactase tablets?

To understand when to take lactase tablets, you need to know that the enzyme lactase only works when it comes into direct contact with lactose. If the lactose has already been absorbed by the body, the lactase can no longer break it down.
It is therefore recommended to take the lactase tablets shortly before or at the beginning of a meal. The lactose can then be broken down by lactase as soon as it enters the stomach. This can ensure that the enzyme is available when foods containing lactose are consumed.
