In concept, Digestive Advantage™
is the same as
DairyCare.
They both contain Lactobacillus bacteria to colonize the intestines with "good"
bacteria that manufacture their own lactase to digest lactose, along with 3000
FCC units of regular lactase.
The difference is that Digestive Advantage™ uses a different Lactobacillus
strain that the makers, Rofay Biomedical L.L.C., claim is
"extremely resistant to wide variations in
temperature and acid pH and other environmental factors" so that it
"easily survives the stomach."
You take two capsules on day one and day two because it takes about
24-36 hours to colonize. After that take one capsule a day, unless you
are extremely sensitive, in which case continue taking two capsules a day. The
capsules, which are kosher and made of gelatin, can just be swallowed, or opened and
the contents poured into a hot or cold drink.
As with all probiotics, antibiotics can block the bacteria's growth and
cause a return of symptoms.
Many, many people have written to me
very favorably about Digestive Advantage.
One very typical example:
After 35+ years of fooling around with various
remedies and prescriptions, this product permits me to eat dairy
and drink milk without ANY problems.... It's great.
I'm not going to post them all here, but I've also received numerous
other reports about how well it works for people. Nothing works for
everyone, of course. You should decide for yourself.
