LACTEEZE Drops 15.5ml

Lacteeze Drops can be used to reduce lactose in fresh milk, reconstituted milk, canned condensed milk, breast-milk, infant formula, creams, chocolate milk and any other fluid milk products.

Lacteeze drops are suitable from birth and contain no gluten, no dairy, no preservatives, no artificial colours and no flavours.

Directions

Lacteeze Drops can be used to reduce lactose in fresh milk, reconstituted milk, canned condensed milk, breast-milk, infant formula, creams, chocolate milk and any other fluid milk products.

Milk that has been converted with LACTEEZE drops has a slightly sweeter taste although nutritionally the milk is not affected.

Cows milk
Simply add 5 drops of LACTEEZE to one litre of milk, stir well and leave in the fridge for 24 hours prior to consumption. This will convert 70-80% of the lactose.

If you wish to convert more lactose, you can increase the number of drops used or leave the milk in the fridge for longer.

Breast Feeding

Express a few tablespoons of breastmilk into a sterilised container and add 4 drops of LACTEEZE. The foremilk contains most of the lactose. Give this mixture to your baby and then breastfeed as normal. Studies have shown that this method forms a ""coating"" for the babys digestive system which allows the remaining breast-milk to be digested normally.

If your baby is very sensitive you may need to use tablets instead of drops (tablets replace the lactase enzyme directly rather than converting the lactose in the breastmilk).

To use the tablets for breast feeding - crush quarter to half of a LACTEEZE tablet (either Extra Strength or Children's Strength) and mix with a little expressed breastmilk or boiled and cooled water to form a thin paste. Put the mixture on baby???s tongue before breast-feeding. The amount needed will depend on the individual babys needs.

Any excess LACTEEZE is eliminated through the digestive system.

Expressed Breastmilk

Add 4 drops of LACTEEZE per 50ml of warm expressed milk (not hot, approximately 30-40oC), shake well and wait 30 minutes prior to consumption. Do not refrigerate. This will convert approximately 90% lactose.

Alternatively, you can add 2 drops of LACTEEZE per 50mL of warm expressed milk, shake well and wait 5 minutes before refrigerating for 4 hours prior to consumption. This will convert approximately 80% lactose.

Baby Formulas

If the infant is not able to consume a lactose free formula:

Add 4 drops of LACTEEZE per 50ml of warm infant formula (not hot, approximately 30-40oC), shake well and wait 30 minutes prior to consumption. Do not refrigerate. This will convert approximately 80% lactose.

Alternatively, you can add 2 drops of LACTEEZE per 50mL of warm infant formula, shake well and wait 5 minutes before refrigerating for 4 hours prior to consumption. This will convert approximately 60% lactose.

Freezing Breastmilk

Follow the instructions for expressed breastmilk above, making sure that you do not freeze the mixture until after the conversion process has taken place. Then simply thaw and use as needed. Discard any milk that is not used after thawing. Do not refreeze.

*Note: LACTEEZE is an enzyme and works better at warm temperatures. Do not add it to very cold or hot milk.
