Lactose-free products

Low lactose products make it easy for people who are sensitive to lactose to benefit from dairy – without the downside. These low lactose dairy products are easy to digest and still contain the same amount of protein, vitamins and calcium. With low lactose products, for example adults can benefit from dairy in preventing osteoporosis. As age progresses, the activity of the lactose-splitting enzyme declines inside the human body. With low lactose products these consumers are able to digest and benefit from dairy products.
