I've been lactose intolerant since 1984. I've used Lactaid and its generic equivalent with mixed results. They worked if I took 2 or 3 before eating milk products. Problem was I didn't always remember to take them with me on the road and some things I ate, like some cakes, contain milk products that really bothered me. Since taking Digestive Advantage, I've discarded the Lactaid and haven't had a single problem with food or side effects. This stuff has taken away my problems to the point where I can eat a bowl of ice cream at 8:00 at night with no problem! I highly recommend you try them.

I have pretty severe lactose intolerance. I used the product as instructed for over a week. I noticed almost no positive effect. Perhaps I should have used it longer, or perhaps my intolerance is stronger than average. The package does say that some people need two tablets per day. But I decided not to go that route and am back to my chewable Lactaid tablets (and avoiding dairy most of the time).

Lactose Defense Formula used to work

Pros

  • Easy To Administer
  • No Side Effects

Cons

  • Not Effective

  • Everyday

Comments about Schiff Digestive Advantage Lactose Defense Formula, Capsules, 32 ea:

It used to work great. I took it for nearly a year. My doctor used to prescribe it to all his patients, but he has changed his mind. The old instructions said to take it every morning and it would work all day, which it did. Perhaps they changed the ingredients because my doctor says that every patient to whom he has prescribed it lately comes back to complain that it does not work. I notice that the new instructions state to take it when you consume dairy. This makes it no different that all the other similar products. It is cheap so I would still recommend it.

Comments about Schiff Digestive Advantage Lactose Defense Formula, Capsules, 32 ea:

It seemed to be working at first, then I had some terrible gas and bloating after trying this product for the first time. I usually take a regular Digestive Advantage, but thought I might try the lactose defense version to see if it would help, but I think I'm just better off avoiding dairy products altogether. Maybe you have to take it regularly to get used to it.

    Comments about Schiff Digestive Advantage Lactose Defense Formula, Capsules, 32 ea:

    Because my lactose intolerance is severe, I take 2 capsules a day. I'd tried everything on the market -Lactaid, etc. - to almost no effect. This is a total success. I can eat/drink anything in any amount except for sauces, such as caramel, made with dry milk - then I take one extra. No side effects whatsoever; it's just an enzyme replacement.I've been using it for more than 5 years.

        works great for every day use. I have lactose intollerance and it helps me to digest small amounts of items containing lactose. I would recommend a fast acting chewable for meals that contain large amounts of dairy.

          Comments about Schiff Digestive Advantage Lactose Defense Formula, Capsules, 32 ea:

          After trying a variety of products for lactose intolerance such as a lactase enzyme and several digestive pro-biotics, this is by far the best product I have tried. Since discovering it 2-3 years ago, I sometimes had a hard time finding it locally so i was thrilled to find it on this website. I simply order a 3 month supply at a time and reorder shortly after I open the last box so I never run out.

          It is so much more convenient and discreet to take this in the mornings and not have to worry about needing to take a product in public immediately before putting lactose-food in my mouth. And, Digestive Advantage - Lactose Defense Formula is very effective. If I eat an abundance of cheese or milk products in a short amount of time, I may feel a little bit of intolerance symptoms, but it is still much better than it would be otherwise.

          The product comes in punch-out packaging so you may carry Digestive Advantage with you if needed.

              This product is very easy to use and does what it is supposed to do. I would not be able to tolerate most lactose products if it weren't for
              this product.

                This is the best solution to lactose intollerance I have found. I am now able to eat things that are made with dairy products. I do still use the lactaid fast acting pills if I know I will be eating a meal that is dairy heavy. but for day to day this product works great. I did experience bloating when taking 2 a day but when I take 1 a day it works wonderful.
