Product Overview
Gentle lactase enzyme drops for babies from birth to help break down lactose in milk and support digestion, reducing colic-related discomfort.
Description
Colief Lactase Enzyme Infant Drops 7ml are a natural food supplement containing lactase enzyme designed to help make breast milk or infant formula easier for babies to digest. For the first few months of life, some infants may have difficulty digesting lactose, the complex sugar found in milk, which can contribute to digestive discomfort and colic-like symptoms.
Colief Drops work by adding lactase enzyme to the baby’s feed before drinking, helping to break down lactose into simpler sugars (glucose and galactose) that are easier to digest. This can help reduce bloating, wind and fussiness associated with lactose understanding, providing a gentle, well-tolerated option to support natural digestion.
Suitable from birth onwards, Colief Drops can be used with both breast milk and infant formula, making them a flexible choice for parents and caregivers.
