Product Description
Colief Infant Drops is a natural product which is added to infant milk and used to treat temporary lactose intolerance (TLI) in babies suffering from colic. The active ingredient is lactase, a safe, naturally occurring substance produced within the small intestine.
Lactose intolerance in new-born babies can lead to digestive discomfort – bloating, wind and griping pain – which results from undigested lactose in food. This can be an important factor in some babies with colic.

What is Colic?
Colic is defined as repeated episodes of excessive and inconsolable crying in a new-born baby who otherwise appears to be perfectly healthy. The condition can affect up to one in five babies.
As any parent with a distressed, crying baby knows, colic affects a whole household, and can be very frustrating and upsetting for all involved.
What can cause Colic?
A lack of lactase in the small intestine results in a baby’s inability to fully digest the milk-sugar lactose. The undigested lactose is then broken down in the bowel, producing lactic acid. This leads to discomfort, bloating and gas.
Colief contains lactase, a substance naturally occurring in our bodies that helps break down complex sugar lactose found in milk, dairy products, breast milk and infant formulas.
