Benefits of Lactose free milk: People with a Lactose intolerance don’t make enough of the enzyme LACTASE, which is found in your digestive tract. The enzymes job is to break down milk sugar (Lactose) into its components – Galactose and Glucose – so they can be absorbed.
People who cannot digest Lactose (Lactose Intolerant) cannot properly break down the lactose into glucose and galactose. This can lead to gas, bloating, cramps, diarrhea and other symptoms which can be extremely uncomfortable.
Al the carbohydrates in cow’s milk comes from Lactose. Lactose Free milk is made from cow’s milk but has been treated with a lactose enzyme, so there is no remaining lactose. This means you can enjoy a cup of milk or a bowl of cereal without having to worry about any digestive issues.
