The Active Ingredient Is: Lactose (Milk Sugar)

Lactose is a disaccharide carbohydrate (sourced from) whey, used as a low-glycemic sweetener. This product contains lactose as the (main) ingredient, dairy-origin and produced in the USA, (providing) a (gentle) milk-derived sweetness without adding fat or protein components.

This formulation is dairy-derived, kosher dairy certified and non-GMO, (giving) (a carbohydrate base) that (you can use) as a sugar substitute in beverages and recipes.

What Does Lactose Do?

Lactose can help support mineral absorption, contributing to the normal utilisation of minerals in the body. Scientific research suggests lactose may (boost) the intestinal (absorption) of calcium and magnesium, which supports normal bone and mineral balance.

Dr. Romero-Velarde of the University of Navarra found that lactose can enhance mineral absorption, aligning with EFSA-style understanding that carbohydrates aid in mineral utilisation.
