Instead of avoiding dairy products if you are lactose intolerant, simply pop a tablet and enjoy.
There are a variety of lactase pills on the market that allow consumers to enjoy dairy products without worry by supplying the body with the missing enzyme lactase. This is what the body needs to break down lactose, or milk sugar.
But what are the differences between the various tablets and brands? And which one should you choose?
Let's compare Milktab and LactoJoy
Next to LactoJoy another brand, Milktab, is promoting "the most powerful lactase pill ever made". Therefore, we want to take a closer look at the tablets of the two brands now:
| LactoJoy | Milktab | |
| Activity | 14,500 FCC-units lactase per capsule. | 27,000 FCC-units lactase per capsule*, as well as 22,000 FCC units of protease and 1,000 FCC units of lipase, two supporting enzymes. |
| Dosage | One capsule before each lactose-containing meal. The number can be increased or decreased thanks to the breaking edge, depending on the lactose content of the meal and your degree of lactose intolerance. |
One capsule before each meal containing lactose. If the meal lasts more than 30 minutes, you need to take another capsule. However, it is recommended not to take more than 2 pills of milktab per day. |
| Intake | The tablet can be both swallowed and chewed. | No specification. |
| Purchase options | Online | Online |
| Costs | $17.99 for 45 capsules (equivalent to approx. 45 applications) | $ 29 for 45 capsules (equivalent to approx. 45 applications) |
| Packing | Refillable metal package in elegant design | Classic cardboard packaging with plastic blisters, but in credit card format |

Choose Your Favorite Lactose Intolerance Pill
So in a direct comparison of the two brands, LactoJoy offers many advantages:
- LactoJoy consists only of plant-based ingredients and is free of unnecessary additives.
- Even if the amount of lactase in LactoJoy is lower in direct comparison, just one tablet helps reliably against digestive problems when consuming dairy products. And if you need less, you can simply reduce the dosage thanks to our predetermined breaking edge. The good thing about it: you can take up to 10 tablets a day and therefore consume foods containing lactose more often.
- Thanks to the practical metal packaging, you can not only take your Lactase pills to every business lunch or café date without worrying, but also refill your tin. This makes LactoJoy a particularly environmentally conscious alternative.
- And best of all: LactoJoy's cheaper and you can test whether it meets your needs with our free trial.
I hope that I could help you a little bit with your decision with this small comparison.
