Lactose intolerance

When the microvilli in the small intestine fail to produce adequate amounts of lactase or when the activity of lactase is insufficient, the body struggles to metabolize lactose, which is the primary sugar in milk.

Lactase enzyme deficiency is a condition known as lactose sensitivity or commonly Lactose Intolerance

Lactase belongs to the β-galactosidase enzyme family,
and is released within the microvilli of the small intestine, serving as a glycosidic hydrolase.

  • Inflation
  • Feeling of fullness or swelling in the abdomen
  • Shortness of breath
  • Abdominal pain and abdominal cramps
  • Diarrhea
  • Gases
  • Nausea or flatulence

We choose to consume Lactose Free or Low Lactose foods. 

We carefully read the ingredients listed on the product labels.

If a product label contains any of the following terms, it indicates the presence of lactose, and consequently, it should therefore be avoided:

"Milk"
"Lactose"
"Whey"
"Cheese Curd"
"Milk by-products"
"Milk solids"
"Skim milk powder"

It is estimated that approximately 70% of adults worldwide have reduced lactase production.

The Low Lactose or Lactose-Free product market has firmly positioned itself on supermarket shelves. This proximity is maintained due to dairy factories prioritizing consumer well-being and aiming to provide a diverse range of high-quality and delicious options tailored to special dietary needs, all in compliance with legislative standards.
