For more than 70 million Americans who experience lactose intolerance symptoms, acceptance of dairy could only be managed through diet control or the use of supplements that need to be taken daily or with every serving of dairy.  

   After completing the Lactagen program, lactose intolerant sufferers in the study were able to reintroduce dairy products into their diets without fear of symptoms such as gas, diarrhea and cramps.  

   The results of the three-month trial showed that subjects on the program dramatically reduced their symptoms after completion of the 38-day program, while those on the placebo showed little to no effect.  

   One-month follow-ups found that 83 percent of subjects can continue to consume dairy with little to no symptoms, and without the need to take lactase supplements, according to Chris Landon, M.D., executive director of the Landon Research Institute in California, and lead physician for the Lactagen study.

   This new research shows that Lactagen is the first long-term, one-time method that helps the digestive system adapt to digesting dairy.  Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, which is found in such foods as milk, cheese and ice cream.  

   The condition results from a shortage of the digestive enzyme lactase, which breaks down the sugar in dairy to ease digestion.  If an individual’s body does not produce enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose consumed, they will suffer from symptoms of lactose intolerance. 

   “The 64-subject clinical trial observed symptoms of subjects claiming discomfort from dairy products associated with the condition of lactose intolerance,” said Landon.  “Participants in the study were randomly given Lactagen or a placebo product. We found that subjects showed substantial and dramatic reduction in their symptoms of gas, diarrhea and cramps after following the Lactagen program, while those on the placebo program showed little improvement.”

   According to Landon, the study provides clinical results that suggest that the Lactagen program acts to promote the growth of indigenous micro flora needed to metabolize lactose so it can be easily absorbed into the digestive system. Further follow-up showed that Lactagen not only alleviates symptoms, but it also allows consistent adaptation and digestion of dairy long after completing the Lactagen program.  

   “The results of the study confirmed what others have been reporting since turning to the Lactagen solution,” said Andrew Ritter, president and founder of Lactagen, and a former sufferer of lactose intolerance.  

   “The Lactagen program was designed to work in three phases. First, it calms down and reconditions the digestive system, soothing and reducing inflammation in the digestive tract.  Next, it retrains and strengthens the digestive system to handle dairy foods. In the final stage, the body is now ready to accept dairy foods.  After the 38-day Lactagen program is successfully completed, no further supplements or dietary aids are needed.” 

   Ritter, with the help of leading researchers and doctors from across the country, developed and perfected the effectiveness of the program over the last decade. 

   Today thousands of people have successfully completed the Lactagen program and have been able to reintroduce dairy into their lives.

   “The Lactagen program really worked and it was extremely easy to follow,” said Larry Stein of Oak Park, ILL, who has undergone the program.  “I no longer need to stuff my pockets with pills that only provide temporary relief.  I can now walk out of the house knowing that I can eat any dairy product I want, any time I want, without worry of suffering from my former lactose intolerant side effects.”
