I was sceptical about trying lactase tablets, but as my lactose intolerance has been getting worse I wanted to give it a go. I chose this product because I have an issue with swallowing tablets and the other lactase pills I looked at from other sellers were too big. After scrolling through all the comments and seeing other products described as 'chalky and difficult to swallow' I went with these despite getting fewer for your money. Worth it. You can see in the product picture that they're small - about the diameter of a pencil top rubber - and you can break them in half if you don't need the full dose (which is so high you can take one tablet and not have to worry about taking another during your meal). Trust me when I say I struggle swallowing pills - but I haven't had a problem with these at all.
You take one small, easy to swallow tablet with your meal, and you're done. They actually work! I felt so surprised and, quite frankly, weird, when I ate a whole pizza and suffered no ill consequences. I've had another few meals containing a lot of dairy since then, and it's amazing. I'm no longer stuck with the two non-pizza options when I go with my partner to his favourite pizza place, and if I want ice cream or cheesecake I can have it.
The packaging is really nice - I love the tin. There's a lot of packaging when first opening it up, and the only major downside is that, very unhelpfully, the leaflet that comes with it is in German. Luckily I had a friend who could read it for me, but there's also a lactojoy website, which is in English, and has all the information you need on it (just google 'lactojoy'). You take these pills with your first mouthful.
I'm pleasantly surprised with how well the tablets work, and think that the easiness of use (easy to carry, easy to swallow) and the fact the dose is high enough to not have to worry about doing maths to make sure you've had enough tablets makes these worth choosing over other products.
