"LACTAZAR FOR CHILDREN" - helps improve digestive processes.

1 capsule contains no less than 700 units of the enzyme lactase.
Nutritional and energy value of 1 capsule: protein 0.1 g, fat 0.1 g, carbohydrates 0.2 g; 3 kcal/15 kJ.

A deficiency of the enzyme is most commonly observed in infants during the first year of life with infant colic, in most premature and low-birth-weight children, as well as in children during or after intestinal disorders and in congenital lactase deficiency.
Taking the lactase enzyme allows for the continuation of breastfeeding and eliminates the cause of colic in cases of enzyme deficiency in the intestine. Clinical studies conducted by the State Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences on the dietary supplement LACTAZAR® FOR CHILDREN showed that in children aged from 2 weeks to 3 months with manifestations of their own enzyme deficiency (colic, bloating, unstable stool), the use of the dietary supplement LACTAZAR® FOR CHILDREN led to the elimination of symptoms of functional digestive disorders.

Additional information
The lactase enzyme breaks down and facilitates the absorption of the carbohydrate lactose from food.
Lactose is necessary for the establishment of healthy intestinal microflora, which is involved in the synthesis of B vitamins; it aids in the absorption of calcium and magnesium, which are required for timely teething and bone growth; it serves as an energy source, ensuring the normal development of the nervous system and visual apparatus of the growing child.
In cases of lactase enzyme deficiency in the intestine, part of the disaccharide lactose is not broken down and accumulates in the intestinal lumen, leading to fermentation processes and increased gas production, resulting in bloating, abdominal pain, and stool problems shortly after consuming milk and dairy products.
The condition characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme in the intestine is called lactase deficiency (LD) and is divided into primary and secondary.

Primary includes:
Transient (temporary) LD is more common in newborns with an "immature" digestive system, which may be associated with complicated pregnancy or childbirth, in premature or low-birth-weight children. It manifests as intestinal colic, abdominal bloating, stool problems (diarrhea/constipation), crying, and restlessness of the infant after feeding, and insufficient weight gain. Transient lactase deficiency usually occurs at 2-3 weeks of age and resolves by 3-4 months as the child's digestive system matures. Currently, transient LD is considered one of the main causes of so-called "infantile colic," occurring in every 3rd full-term newborn and in most premature and low-birth-weight children.
Congenital LD - genetically determined, manifests from the first days of life.
Secondary LD - occurs against the background of infectious, immune, or inflammatory changes in the intestine, including in children with signs of food allergies, atopic dermatitis, suffering from dysbiosis, parasitic invasions, during recovery after infectious and viral intestinal diseases.
