Our assessment
The evidence shows that the product you are asking about, Bronson Laboratories Lactase Enzyme, has very limited data available for a full clinical review. Based strictly on the provided information, the primary ingredient data pertains to Calcium, not lactase. Our assessment is that we cannot make a meaningful recommendation for this specific product as a digestive aid because the core active ingredient data is missing. Data not available for the mechanism of lactase enzyme.
How it works
Based on the data provided for the ingredient Calcium, it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, this is not how a lactase enzyme supplement is intended to work. A lactase enzyme product is designed to break down lactose, the sugar in dairy products, to prevent symptoms of lactose intolerance. The data provided does not include information on how lactase works. Data not available for the specific mechanism of this product.
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements [FDA data]. For the ingredient Calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for side effects specific to lactase enzyme.
Our recommendation
Because the provided data does not contain specific information on the lactase enzyme ingredient, we cannot confidently recommend Bronson Laboratories Lactase Enzyme. The data available focuses on Calcium, which is a separate supplement with its own risks and benefits. For a lactase enzyme product, you would need to consult a different evidence source or speak with your healthcare provider. Data not available to form a recommendation for this product.
