The Science Behind Cheater Eater and Dairy Digestion
The Science Behind Cheater Eater™ and Dairy Digestion
Cheater Eater™ contains the enzyme lactase, which is essential for breaking down lactose—the sugar found in dairy products. Lactase supplementation has been shown to improve lactose digestion and reduce symptoms such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea in individuals with lactose intolerance.^(1^) Additionally, the inclusion of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) aids in the breakdown of beta-casomorphin, a peptide derived from casein in dairy. Beta-casomorphin can exhibit opioid-like activity in the digestive system, potentially leading to discomfort in sensitive individuals. DPP IV helps hydrolyze these peptides, reducing their activity and alleviating associated digestive issues.^(2^) By addressing both lactose and casein sensitivities, Cheater Eater™ offers comprehensive support for comfortable dairy consumption.
