The 30-second dose check
What’s your dairy number?
Every dairy meal has a lactase number, measured in FCC units: how much enzyme it takes to break down the lactose on your plate. Most lactase pills don’t tell you theirs. Answer two questions and find yours.
Two questions
Find your dairy number
Question 1 of 2
What’s on the plate?
Question 2 of 2
How does dairy usually hit you?
Your result
Your dairy number is an estimate based on typical lactose content and self-reported sensitivity. It isn’t a medical measurement, and individual needs vary.
The honest table
Every major lactase pill, by the number
FCC units per standard pill, from lowest to highest. We’d rather you see the whole board.
Most real-world dairy meals land well under 18,000 FCC, so one DairyPill covers them, and for the heavy plates that don’t, take two. What you get with it is a single clean ingredient with no mannitol, a keychain Key Pod so the pill is actually with you, American manufacturing, and a 100-day guarantee.
Is a bigger number always better?
Not by itself. Lactase you don’t have with you breaks down nothing, and extra enzyme beyond what the meal needs is simply unused. The dose that matters is the one on your keychain when the plates arrive. That’s the problem DairyPill was designed around.

From the herd
People who found their number.
My life has changed
“My lactose intolerance is a 13 out of 10, per my gut doctor. Lactaid stopped working and I hadn’t had dairy in over a decade. After these, I ate pizza and a milkshake. This pill works.”
The only one that worked
“I couldn’t tolerate a teaspoon of milk. I’ve tried so many products out there, the DairyPill is the only one that worked. Now I can eat anything I want.”
We’re eliminating the hassle and embarrassment around lactose intolerance.
Straight answers
FCC, doses, and your number
What is an FCC unit?
FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) units are the standard measure of lactase enzyme activity, effectively how much lactose a pill can break down. It’s the number that lets you compare lactase products directly, which is why we publish ours and show everyone else’s.
How many DairyPills should I take?
One 18,000 FCC pill right before dairy covers most real-world meals. For very heavy dairy loads, a cheese-forward holiday plate, a big milkshake on top of dinner, take two.
Isn’t a higher-FCC pill better?
Only if the meal needs it and the pill is with you. Most meals land under 18,000 FCC, extra enzyme beyond the meal goes unused, and a pill left at home does nothing. We built DairyPill around a strong everyday dose plus the Key Pod, so your dose is actually there when the food is.
How accurate is my dairy number?
It’s an estimate based on typical lactose content for each meal type and your self-reported sensitivity: useful for choosing a dose, but not a medical measurement. Individual needs vary, and the 100-day guarantee exists so you can test yours in the real world.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
You’re covered by a 100-day money-back guarantee. If DairyPill doesn’t work for you, we refund you. No questions asked.
Know your number. Carry the answer.
One 18,000 FCC pill on your keychain beats any number sitting in a drawer. Try it on your real meals; the 100-day money-back guarantee means the test costs you nothing if it fails.
