When people avoid dairy to manage symptoms, they risk calcium deficiency, weakened bones, reduced immunity, and nutritional gaps. While conventional lactase enzyme supplements attempt to address this problem, their inconsistent effectiveness has limited their real-world impact.This presentation examines the long-term health consequences of lactose intolerance and explores why current solutions have limitations. We then introduce BioCapsule—a pH-responsive oral delivery system designed to release lactase in the small intestine, where it's most effective. By improving delivery reliability, BioCapsule aims to provide a more dependable option for the billions managing this condition.This is how targeted innovation can address a widespread health challenge.
