MicroLactin? is 90% lactose free. At these levels, lactose intolerance is not expected to be an issue (see below).

The product contains less than 115mg of lactose per tablet. This contrasts with the several thousand milligrams present in a glass of milk. This small amount of lactose can be a problem to some highly sensitive individuals. If you are in this category, MicroLactin? should be avoided. NOW makes a formula called Dairy Digest Complete, which supplies plant-derived enzymes that help to digest the sugar, protein, and fat naturally found in milk.

Individuals with lactose intolerance should select a pure whey protein isolate, which has less than 0.1 gram of lactose per tablespoon (20 grams). This is less lactose than the amount found in a cup of yogurt and research has shown that most people with lactose intolerance have no trouble taking this very small amount of lactose. Individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid whey protein concentrates as they usually contain lactose and the amount can vary greatly from product to product.

Slim•Fast meal replacements contain skimmed milk that is, unfortunately, unsuitable for you if you are lactose intolerant.

Most people with lactose intolerance do not experience a problem with colostrum, as there is only a small amount of lactose present. If, however you have a severe milk protein allergy, you should consult your doctor prior to taking colostrum, due to its high protein count.

Yes. The large proteins, such as lactose, are filtered out during the extraction process. Are transfer factors made of sugars, proteins or fats? Isolated transfer factors have been determined to be a chain of small peptides consisting of 44 amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The immune system is challenged during times of stress. Because of this, additional support through supplementation may promote a healthy immune system.

Lactic acid producing bacteria should not be confused with lactose which is a milk sugar which can cause intolerance in a small propertion of the population deficient in the enzyme lactase. Some studies have shown that Lactic Acid Producing bacteria can actually help break down dairy products into simple sugars.

The whey protein in Accelerade comes from milk. The maximum lactose content in Accelerade is less than 1%, which may not be of concern to the vast majority of individuals who are lactose intolerant. If you have concerns related to lactose intolerance, we recommend consulting your physician.

Yes. OMNIGEST EZ contains the right amount of the enzyme lactase to aid in the digestion of typical meals containing dairy products.*

Lactose intolerance does not mean dairy intolerance. In fact, research shows that most people who are lactose intolerant can enjoy up to two cups of milk a day, particularly if they drink it with meals. Other tips for reducing symptoms include eating aged cheeses that are naturally low in lactose and drinking lactose-free milk.

People who are lactose intolerant lack the enzyme necessary to digest lactose. This usually results in stomach discomfort after eating dairy products. There are tests that can determine if you are lactose intolerant, so please consult a physician for a complete examination.

Lactose is a sugar that makes up around 2-8% of the solids in milk. Nature intended liquid milk primarily for newborns and the very young. In many species, the adult mammal produces less of the enzyme lactase, used to digest milk. As a result, many adults, unable to properly metabolize lactose, don't tolerate milk very well. However, it is a widely held misconception that there is more lactose in cheese than in other dairy products.

The most likely possibilities are calcium and vitamin D deficiencies, because milk is a major source of these nutrients in the American diet. Fortified soy milk, fortified orange juice, tofu, spinach and most "greens" (collard greens, turnip greens, and kale) are good non-dairy sources of Calcium. Also, many people who are lactose intolerant can eat small quantities of dairy and also tolerate yogurt and ice cream pretty well.

It depends on which one it is. If you are lactose intolerant, it means you cannot digest lactose, and all mammals' milk (human, cow, goat, mouse, dolphin, etc.) contains lactose, so you would respond to goat milk the same way you respond to cow milk. If you are allergic to cow milk, chances are very good that you may be able to drink goat milk. The protein in cow milk is very hard to disgest, because calves go hours between nursing.

Yes. Coconut milk is Not a dairy product and adds a rich creamy texture to Asian, African, Caribbean, Indian, Pacific Islander, and Jamaican cuisines, just to name a few. Coconut milk is high in potassium and saturated fat but its a saturated fat that is actually good for you, according to Mary Enig, fellow of the American College of Nutrition In Silver Spring, Md. The fat in coconut milk contains Lauric and Capric acid which have powerful antiviral and antifungal proprieties.

Chocolate milk may be more easily digested than unflavored milk in people with lactose intolerance. In fact, most individuals with a limited ability to break down lactose can drink two cups of any type of milk a day when consumed in small servings or with other foods.
