(More customer reviews)Started using this product for my son about a month ago. It's working quite well. He is back to drinking milk as you'd expect with a pre-teen. I do not question the efficacy of this products, however I do have some questions about how this product is delivered and the dosing.
The product was purchased through an Amazon 3rd party seller, but the fulfillment was through Amazon. It arrived quickly, and was well packaged. The bottles had a white SKU label placed over the manufacturers label which obscured most of the information (e.g. dosing) provided by the manufacturer. The extra label is not easily removed. This isn't a huge deal, but I'm not a big fan of a manufacturers information being obscured. I don't know if this extra label comes from the reseller or Amazon, but it is unwelcome.
My second concern comes from the supplied bottle cap dropper and dosing instructions. As others have mentioned, the manufacturer recommends 5 drops/pint. The label also states that a serving size is 5 drops with 60 servings per bottle (15 ml) or 300 drops per bottle which would treat 7.5 gallons of milk. On my second bottle of Liquid Lactase I decided to keep track of how many drops I was getting out of a bottle. My bottle ran empty after about 200 drops, or about 1/3 less than the manufacturer states. The scientist in me decided to experiment. Using a syringe I injected 15 ml of water back into the empty bottle. The fill level was similar to unopened bottles so I'm not questioning the amount of product supplied. I then used the bottle cap dropper to count how many drops made up a bottle and repeated the procedure twice. I counted around 200 drops which would only treat about 5 gallons of milk. It turns out a standard drop size doesn't exist, and is dependent on many factors which would vary depending on the liquid being dispensed and the dropper itself. My guess is that at some point Pharmax may have changed suppliers for their droppers and ended up with one that had a different spec. For me the 5 drops / pint recommendation is actually overdosing a fair amount and no harm comes from this other than from your wallet. It is worth checking your own bottles as this could be different depending on the manufacturing lot. I've switched from using the supplied dropper to using a 3CC oral syringe. 2 ml of liquid lactase would match the recommended dose of using 40 drops to treat 1 gallon of milk.
