Because everyone should be able to enjoy cheese, ice cream, yogurt and other dairy!
Our dual-action formula is packed with the enzymes lactase and protease to help break down problem-causing lactose and casein, providing support for dairy intolerances.* Experiencing discomfort and bloating after eating dairy shouldn't hold you back. With the right help, you can go back to enjoying the dairy products you love.
When it comes to dairy intolerance, the problem isn’t with what we eat. It’s with how we digest it.
What causes dairy intolerance, and how can enzymes help?
If our bodies have difficulty digesting dairy, the root cause comes from a lack of lactase, a lactose-digesting enzyme, in our guts. Enzymes are designed to break down a specific kind of food or compound, so the more or less lactase we have, the better or worse we can digest lactose. This enzyme works by breaking down lactose, which is difficult to digest, and turning it into the sugar glucose, something easy to digest.
When we don’t have enough enzymes to digest the dairy we eat, the body retains water in the gut, resulting in uncomfortable symptoms like occasional bloating and irregularity. There are a number of reasons why someone may be lactase deficient, from age and genetics, to being born without the ability to produce lactase, but the bottom line is that many Americans experience this—as many as 50 million of them.
This is where supplements come in. While DairyAssist comes with lactase for digesting lactose, it also includes protease for complete dairy digestion.* Protease, a protein-digesting enzyme, helps break down casein and dairy proteins, so that every part of the dairy product is easily digested.

Melanie’s Health & Nutrition really began with Auminay Naturals which was formerly SkinTastic Creations. This product line took root over twenty years ago as Melanie faced cancer. After becoming aware of alternative therapies she worked to change to a healthier lifestyle and learn about herbs. She developed what is now the Auminay Naturals product line by eventually learning to infuse these herbs into products that used natural ingredients to provide skin care products for a healthier lifestyle. In 2017, as a newly certified Master Herbalist, Melanie opened Melanie’s Health & Nutrition to provide a resource for the Tooele community. The Auminay products are now made in the back section of the store. Melanie and her staff love to serve the community and provide opportunities for learning, as well as products that empower people to be healthier.
