Answers: what does it really do? where in the body does it come from?
Lactase is found in the small intestine of the body. Its main purpose is to break down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products, for digestion. People with lactose intolerance don't have this enzyme in thier bodies, or they don't have enough of it.
lactase is an enzyme, usually we have it in abundance when we are younger and stop producing it when we get older. This is why many people become lactose intolerant. Lactose is a simple sugar found in dairy products, and it takes lactase to break it down for use in the body. Lactase is produced in the small intestine.
