Kirkland Signature Fast Acting Lactase, (2 Pack), 360 Ct Caplets

Yay I love this! Since I have become lactose intolerant over the last 6 years, I rely on these to save me when in risky situations. I can have very little cheese, but too much cheese, or milk or anything else, and it is all over for me. These pills were at a very good price, so I thought I would buy them. They have 9000 FCC which is around the highest I have found on the market. Just one of these pills will save me from any dairy I tend to ingest. It does seem fast acting, as I often take a couple bites of food before I realize what I am eating. I then quickly take a pill and hope for the best. So far this has been quick enough to save me. I have even taken it after I have eaten a meal, in hopes that it would counteract some of the dairy I ate. It still saved me, though my dish was fairly light on dairy. These are comparable to Lactaid, which is the other brand I usually buy. I haven't noticed any difference between the two. They are both individually wrapped as well.

When I ordered these, they were the only choice for 9000 units/180 count. Before this, I had ordered the Best Naturals brand, same dose and count, only bulk packed in 1 bottle, which I prefer for everyday use. Those who want to easily take these with them when they eat out (not many doing this right now though), these are probably the better choice. But the Best Naturals 9000 FCC ALU/180 count, when they are in stock, are better priced from what I have seen here on Amazon-and are in fact what I just re-ordered, since they were in stock again. Oh, by the way, you would think that individually packed pills would be better protected, but I have had some of these Kirkland pills break or were broken when I tore open the paper covering. There may have been some dust in the bottom of the Best Naturals bottle at the end, to be fair, but I can't say it was much to be concerned about either. They both work fine-take your pick of price and packaging for what suits you best. Be well!

If your issue is only lactose this does the trick and its quite effective; I can do 16 - 22 oz with one caplet probably more. I have used this for a long time I usually buy in store this time I decided to buy online. I am really surprised at the reviews claiming these do not work, I have been lactose intolerant for 48 years (Since I was 10) and the older products I used when I was young barely worked. These always work as long as you consume right when you initially start intaking food with lactose and do not take a really long time to finish, for example if I mix a protein drink with milk, take a pill but get busy working and realize an hour plus passed and I have most of my shake left, you cannot just drink it then and think that pill will work you, need another, if you take and consume promptly one pill can handle 22 oz of milk at least for me at least. This product is hands down rock solid, it does what is says, breaks down lactose avoiding digestive issues associated with undigested lactose.

Same effect as Lactose aid

They are cheaper at this time bought (05/2017) than the Walmart bottle of 60 pills generic. At the 180 size the price is about the same per pill ($0.11+), this pack (360) they are cheaper (About $0.10+). There is no tax free stuff on Amazon and if you don't have prime shipping it is cheaper to buy it in store locally. The pills comes in an individual wrapper and must be torn out if you want put them in a bottle. The pills are coated better than the Walmart ones which wear away to dust if carried in a bottle in your pocket like i do with spare OTC and prescription meds. They do snap in half easier than Walmart ones. Other than that they are fine generic lactase pills. The 'chewable" ones are full of artificial sweetener/flavoring that causes gas, diarrhea, and bloating. In some folks WORSE then lactose intolerance. so buy these. you are big kids now, you can swallow a tiny pill.

work for me but I missed that they are individually wrapped...thought I was buy them in a bottle...

I overlooked seeing this item in the Costco store I use (70 miles away) so ordered it here. In the future, when needed, I'll replenish my supply at Costco and save shipping costs. I take one of these pills routinely whenever I consume a dairy product (e.g., milk on my morning steel cut oats cereal, or eating a piece of cheese, ice cream, etc.). These pills do a great job in preventing the production of gas that otherwise would occur in us older people if we didn't take them. They're also FAR cheaper to use -- instead of buying the kind of milk enhanced with lactase, I now buy regular grades of milk and just take one of these pills whenever I consume any. 90% of the time I think Costco offers better quality merchandise often for a lower price than one finds elsewhere. And these lactase enzyme pills are no exception in my experience. E.g., Consumer Reports rates Costco's (their house Kirkland) Glucosamine & Chondroitin tabs as the best for quality and price. That's typical for so many Costco/Kirkland products that I'm very satisfied in relying on them.

It works great. I can now eat ice cream again!

Funziona bene come de-lattosante

Have used these for a couple of yrs, good quick action...

very good

Having suffered lactose intolerance I tried many other similar products (the worst being Holland & Barrett’s lactase enzyme capsules) but these are by far the best. Just pop one in your mouth as you eat, suffer no bloating, no more stomach ache etc. these quite literally have changed my life. You can have as many as you like, they are small, individually wrapped, like chalk if you chew alone, but with food are tasteless. No need for a drink. I just keep a few in my pocket and discreetly take one every time I have dairy.

Excellent product for lactose intolerant persons. It has lactase in sufficient dose of 9000 units. Dairy items can be consumed with freedom from worries of flatulence.
