About Nature’s Sunshine Lactase Plus
Enjoying your favorite dairy foods shouldn’t come with uncomfortable digestive consequences. Nature’s Sunshine Lactase Plus provides a comprehensive solution for those who have difficulty digesting dairy products by combining essential enzymes with soothing herbs. This thoughtfully formulated supplement goes beyond basic lactase supplementation to address the full spectrum of dairy digestion challenges.
Lactase is the enzyme naturally produced in the small intestine that breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products, into simpler sugars (glucose and galactose) that can be easily absorbed. When your body doesn’t produce enough lactase, consuming dairy can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like bloating, gas, and digestive upset. For many people, it’s not just the lactose in dairy products that causes discomfort; the proteins and fats can also be challenging to digest.
The Complete Dairy Digestion Solution
What sets Lactase Plus apart is its comprehensive three-enzyme approach. Each serving provides 2400 LacU of lactase enzyme, 9000 HUT of protease, and 80 LU of lipase. This powerful combination works synergistically to break down all the challenging components of dairy foods. The protease helps digest milk proteins, while lipase assists with fat breakdown, ensuring more comfortable digestion of everything from ice cream to cheese.
Traditional Herbal Support
Beyond enzymes, this formula includes a carefully selected blend of traditional digestive herbs in a 987mg proprietary blend. Caraway seed has been used since ancient times for its carminative and anti-flatulent properties, helping to reduce gas and digestive discomfort. Fennel seed provides gentle digestive support with its sweet, warming properties, while ginger rhizome offers its well-known stomach-soothing benefits.
The formula also includes beet root, which contains dietary fiber and compounds that support gut health and may help promote the growth of beneficial digestive bacteria. Dandelion root has been traditionally used to support digestive wellness, while gentian root is valued in herbal traditions for its bitter properties that may help stimulate digestive function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike basic lactase supplements that only address lactose digestion, Lactase Plus provides a comprehensive three-enzyme approach. It includes protease to help digest milk proteins and lipase for dairy fats, plus a proprietary blend of traditional digestive herbs for added comfort and support.
Start with 1-2 capsules before eating dairy-containing foods. The amount you need may depend on your individual sensitivity level and the amount of dairy you’re consuming. You can take up to 2 capsules up to 3 times daily as needed. It’s best to start with the lower dose and adjust based on your response.
Take Lactase Plus just before consuming dairy-containing foods or beverages. The enzymes work best when they’re present in your digestive system as the dairy foods arrive. Taking them too early or too late may reduce their effectiveness.
Lactase Plus can generally be taken with other digestive supplements. However, if you’re taking multiple enzyme products, consult with a healthcare professional to ensure you’re not exceeding recommended enzyme levels for your individual needs.
This product is designed to help with various levels of dairy sensitivity.
