Did you know that around 75% of the world’s population suffers from lactose intolerance?
- Lactose intolerance refers to gastrointestinal symptoms resulting from undigested lactose being present in the large intestine.
- These symptoms occur when a lactose intolerant person consumes too much lactose.
- Symptoms include bloating, cramps, production of excess gas and diarrhoea.
- There are several tests available to determine if someone is lactose intolerant. The most widely used method is a hydrogen breath test.
Even in countries where the prevalence of lactose intolerance is low, lactose-free products enjoy the popularity of a broad group of consumers.
- These consumers purchase low lactose products for all sorts or reasons, for example easy digestibility.
- Dairies all over the world are discovering the opportunities of the lactose-free product market, by using Maxilact®.
- This leads to increased availability of lactose-reduced products around the world, thereby serving a growing group of consumers.
