Lactose

Lactose (milk sugar) is an important source of energy for babies. However, as soon as we stop drinking milk, we normally lose the ability to utilise lactose. We become lactose intolerant. Worldwide, about two-thirds of adults are thought to be lactose intolerant. The prevalence and severity of lactose intolerance varies from country to country and from person to person. Our Chiefs^® Milk Protein Drinks and Protein Puddings are lactose-free and therefore well tolerated by lactose intolerant people.
