Kirkman BioCore Dairy 100 caps

Kirkman’s Dairyzimes™ have a new name. It has become BioCore Dairy™. The ingredients remain the same as does the efficacy in dealing with lactose intolerance and digesting whey proteins.

The National Enzyme Company reports that 70% of the world's population cannot digest lactose properly. They estimate that between 30 and 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant. Many of these individuals begin avoiding dairy products or turn to lactase enzyme over-the-counter products such as Lactaid® to address the problem. Though this type of product does help in digesting lactose, the entire problem is not really addressed. Dairy products contain not only lactose, but also whey proteins, Beta-lactoglobulin, and other dairy proteins which may contribute to the sensitivity to dairy products in general. So lactose intolerance is only part of the problem which more correctly probably should be known as dairy intolerance. Many health care practitioners confirm that lactose intolerance and dairy intolerance are not necessarily interchangeable terms. Kirkman's BioCore Dairy™ addresses the entire problem by digesting lactose, whey proteins, Beta-lactoglobulin and other complex dairy proteins. It just might be the product you need to give you the freedom to enjoy dairy products again.

Although milk and dairy products are the only natural sources of lactose and dairy proteins, individuals must be aware that they can be found in many other products made with dairy products. A few examples of "hidden" lactose and dairy proteins are:

The National Enzyme Company created BioCore Dairy™ to help dairy intolerant individuals around the world be able to enjoy dairy products again.

How Does BioCore Dairy™ differ from Lactaid® or similar products?

The active ingredient in Lactaid® is lactase enzyme which does act on and digest lactose. Lactase supplements alone, however, do not offer any help in the digestion of milk proteins. The normal symptoms of dairy intolerance such as nausea, cramping, bloating, gas, or diarrhea may be construed by individuals self diagnosing themselves, as lactose intolerance when in fact dairy proteins are part of the problem. Kirkman BioCore Dairy™ contains not only lactase to digest lactose present, but also specific protease enzymes to target the whey protein Beta-lactoglobulin. There is scientific data which indicates that this dairy protein is resistant to breakdown by pepsin and pancreatic enzymes in the body.

What are the contents of Kirkman's BioCore Dairy™ ?

The non-animal based enzymes present in BioCore Dairy™ are obtained by the controlled fermentation of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae, which means that they are plant based fungally derived enzymes.

The amount of this proprietary enzyme blend present in one capsule is specifically formulated to digest the lactose (12 grams) and the dairy proteins (8 grams) found in one cup of milk. Of the 8 grams of dairy protein in a cup of milk, 6.4 grams is casein and 1.6 grams is whey. The enzyme system in BioCore Dairy™ will efficiently hydrolyze all milk proteins including casein and b-Lactoglobulin.

The BioCore Dairy™ Difference

Based on a National Enzyme Company laboratory study, BioCore Dairy™ not only broke down lactose, but Beta-Lactoglobulin as well. Lactaid® did not. See the graph below!
