Common questions

Which enzymes form is best absorbed?

Lactase leads at 95% bioavailability. Absorption is the number that decides how much of the dose reaches you, so it matters more than the milligrams on the label.

What is the difference between enzymes forms?

They deliver the same active compound but differ in absorption, tolerance and cost per month. The cheaper forms are usually the ones absorbed least.
