NOW Real Food Lactose Specialty Sweetener - 1 lb. NOW Foods

The Importance Of Lactose
Lactose is crucial in one’s diet. Aside from being necessary for the absorption of Calcium and Phosphorus, it is needed to build the right environment in the gut so that undesirable organisms cannot grow. This means that lactose creates an acidic environment in the stomach to promote fermenter bacteria such as Lactobacilli can flourish and inhibit the growth of bad bacteria. This does not only promote health in the intestines but also on the overall health.

Sourced From Whey
In general, lactose is obtained from galactose and glucose. Both galactose and glucose are joined together by an acetal oxygen bridge. Before becoming too scientific, lactose can be sourced using very simple techniques. In fact, lactose is a by-product of cheese production particularly the whey. For this particular lactose supplement, it is extracted from the whey thus it has a naturally sweet taste to it. The milk used to create the whey (and cheese) is organic thus it is devoid from growth hormones and other compounds that may compromise the health.

Creative Way Of Using The Supplement
Because this supplement has a delicate and balanced sweetness and sourness to it, it can be used creatively. Instead of mixing it in a glass of water and taken straight, it can be mixed into different kinds of recipes. Put it in pies, pancakes, and cakes to fortify sweet treats. It can also be put in soups and stews for added extra flavor. The thing is that there are so many creative ways to use this lactose supplement and one only has to use his or her creativity.
