The development of Colief® Infant Drops two decades ago was a milestone in baby care, offering a unique solution that empowered parents to manage colic naturally. Designed to support babies with colic and lactose intolerance, Colief® Infant Drops provide a natural alternative for easing digestion by using the lactase enzyme to break down lactose, helping parents manage the discomfort caused by colic. As the first product of its kind, it addressed a critical need for a safe, gentle solution to alleviate colic symptoms caused by lactose intolerance. The inclusion of lactase enzyme in the drops marked an innovation in baby digestion care, offering an effective, natural remedy without the need for medications or synthetic alternatives. It relieves digestive discomfort, bloating and wind caused by undigested lactose in food.
Used by millions of parents worldwide, Colief® Infant Drops has earned a loyal following due to its gentle and effective nature. Adding a few drops to a baby’s usual milk (both breast milk and infant formula) it reduces the amount of lactose, making the milk easier to digest.

Colief Infant Drops’ clinical studies, particularly its effectiveness in reducing colic symptoms through the lactase enzyme, have been a key factor in its credibility and trust among both healthcare professionals and parents. The product has been recognized by healthcare professionals for its safe, natural, and effective approach to baby care.
