2 Colic caused by Temporary Lactose Intolerance Infant formula and breast milk contain lactose, a natural sugar. Lactase, an enzyme in the body, is required to break down the lactose into simpler sugars (glucose and galactose) so that it can be absorbed. Research indicates that 38% of colic cases can be attributed to Temporary Lactose Intolerance 1 which prevents the baby from fully digesting the lactose in the milk. If undigested, the lactose is broken down by bacterial activity in the bowel which in turn causes discomfort, bloating and wind.

3 Clinically proven Colief The original Lactase Enzyme for treating Colic caused by Temporary Lactose Intolerance Trials at Cork University Hospital published in Sept 1998 established the link between colic and Temporary Lactose Intolerance. 1 Trials at Guy s Hospital, published in October 2001, confirmed that approximately 40% of infant colic cases responded positively to being fed milk treated with Colief Infant Drops, with typical symptoms being reduced by more than 45%. 2 Only Colief has clinical data to support its use as a lactase enzyme treatment for Temporary Lactose Intolerance. Colief has been available in the UK & Ireland for over 15 years. 1 Kearney et al, J.Hum.Nutr.Diet Sept Kanabar et al, J.Hum.Nutr.Diet Oct 2001 Colief Infant Drops 7ml & 15ml Colief is added to the baby s milk or formula before the baby is fed: Colief treats the milk not the baby. Containing lactase, an enzyme that occurs naturally within the body, Colief Infant Drops breaks down most of the lactose in the milk, making it easier for the baby to digest. Using Colief reduces the lactose-load of the baby s feed by up to 70%. The residual level of lactose helps stimulate the baby s digestive system to produce its own lactase enzyme. Lactase enzyme drops are completely natural and can help facilitate continued breastfeeding. Research has shown that the hours of crying may be greatly reduced when babies are fed their usual milk treated with Colief Infant Drops 2. Now in a larger 15ml format to provide more than 2 weeks worth of feeds - great value for Mums. 1 Kanabar D, Randhawa M, Clayton P, Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics 2001;14(5):
