Interactions with Dietary Supplements
Calcium
Dairy products are rich in calcium. Lactase-deficient people may not consume milk and
therefore have fewer dietary sources of calcium available to them. Lactase products allow
lactase-deficient people to digest milk products, increasing their sources and intake of
dietary calcium.
