Are you or someone you know Lactose Intolerant? For many people being Lactose Intolerant can completely stop people from being able to enjoy the foods they love! There is nothing worse than having to sit on the sidelines and watch your guests enjoy that milkshake or ice cream that you only wish you could have. With the help of Lactaid you can enjoy these delicious treats with everyone else!

Lactose is the major carbohydrate in milk and other dairy foods. Lactose (milk sugar) consists of two simple sugars – glucose and galactose. Lactose must be broken down into glucose and galactose by the intestinal enzyme lactase before it can be absorbed by the body. Most people produce that natural enzyme, lactase, which breaks down lactose. The amount of lactase your body produces will determine how much lactose your body can break down.

Lactaid products are specifically designed to help people who have a lactose sensitivity digest dairy products. Lactaid provides the lactose that the body can’t produce enough of.  Lactaid dairy Products are 100% real dairy just with an added enzyme. Lactaid produces a variety of products such as milk, egg nog, cottage cheese, dietary supplements and ice cream. You can use these products in your everyday cooking even if you are having company over to eat that are not lactose intolerant. Lactaid does have a slightly sweeter taste, but typically no one notices when adding it in a recipe!
