HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dairy Digestant by GNC Natural Brand
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product has two active ingredients. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, the natural sugar in milk and dairy products.
Rennet is the other active ingredient. The tablet also contains dicalcium phosphate as an inactive ingredient (a binder).
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance — the trouble digesting dairy that causes bloating, gas, or cramping. We don't have enough evidence to rate whether it helps with colic in infants or prematurity.
If you're taking it for lactose intolerance, the research supports its use.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lactase is generally well tolerated when used as directed. A rare case of contact dermatitis and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis has been reported in a worker exposed to powdered lactase, suggesting allergy is possible but very uncommon.
Because lactase acts only in the gut, the risk to you is low — but talk with your doctor or pharmacist before regular use during pregnancy, and let them know first if you have any history of allergies to enzymes or dairy-related sensitivities. We don't have safety data on file for rennet.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Dairy Digestant is a straightforward option if you have trouble digesting lactose. If you're pregnant or planning to be, or if you've had allergies before, check with your pharmacist first.
Otherwise, it's generally a low-risk choice.
