Delictase is a food supplement with lactase, which is the enzyme necessary for the breaking down and absorption of lactose and under normal circumstances exists in the small intestine.
Delictase is a natural product which assists in transient lactose intolerance that occurs in babies with colics as well as in children with gastroenteritis and diarrheas.
The inability to break down lactose - due to the reduced production of lactase - leads to the release of gases causing abdominal pain, bloating and diarrheas, known as "osmotic diarrheas".
Delictase is suitable for all situations of inability to absorb lactose, following always the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist
Baby Colic
Delictase acts naturally directly to the cause of baby colic offering an immediate relief to babies !
Colic is a common problem from which 20% - 25% of babies suffer from and affects substantially the entire family due to the fact that it is a very stressful situation for parents when the baby cries for hours with limited solutions to calm it down. There are many colic causes but many scientists agree that the transient lactose intolerance - due to insufficient production of lactase - is one of the main cases of baby colics**.
How transient lactose intolerance leads to baby colic; Learn below!
Milk, the main source of nutrition for babies during the 4th - 6th month (image 1α) contains lactose, which is a carbohydrate.
Lactose is made by the condensation of the monosaccharides - glucose and galactose (image 1β) - which have to be broken down in order to be absorbed.
Lactose goes through the stomach onto the small intestine (image 1γ) so that it will be broken down and absorbed.
The break down of lactose occurs in the small intestine (image 2α) by an enzyme called lactase.
The break down (image 2β) is of great importance in order to absorb the nutrients of lactose.
However, during the first months of their lives, babies might show limited production of lactase (image 2γ), which causes transient lactose intolerance.
The insufficient production of lactase results to allowing lactose to pass unbroken from the small to the big intestine (image 3α) where it comes in contact with the intestinal microflora.
This causes a fermentation process that results to the production of gases (image 3β) causing bloating, cramping and flatulence, while it is quite possible that diarrhea will occur.
Delictase is a food supplement with lactase that acts naturally directly to the cause of baby colic (image 4), offering instant relief to babies!

Gastroenteritis/ Diarrhea
Delictase assists the body to break down and absorb lactose and subsequently to stop "osmotic diarrheas"!
During gastroenteritis (viral or bacterial), diarrhea and, in general, gastrointestinal infection, there is a disintegration of the intestinal villi and, as a consequence, it results in limited or no lactase production. This is called "secondary lactose intolerance" which is usually a temporary condition since lactase production returns to normal levels after 2 weeks to 2 months.
The disintegration of intestinal villi in the small intestine results to eliminating lactase production and consequently to the inability of breaking down lactose (image 2).
This has a consequence for the unbroken lactose to go from the small intestine to the large (image 3α).
In the large intestine, due to the unbroken lactose, water is attracted in the intestinal lumen (image 3β) causing the so called "osmotic diarrheas".
Delictase, by providing the appropriate amount of lactase, assists on the correct digestion of lactose (image 4) and, as a result, on stopping osmotic diarrheas!
It's very simple! Delictase oral drops is a natural food supplement and due to its unique formulation is ready for use.
Just follow the steps below:
Step1: Shake the vial well (before every use).
Step 2: Give Delictase directly to the baby's or kid's mouth (2α) or a sterilized spoon (2β), right BEFORE every meal.
Step 3: You can now breastfeed or feed the baby and kid!
*If you wish to mix with infant formula, make sure that the milk is lukewarm or at room temperature.
**Stopping Delictase has to be gradual, always following the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist.
