Facts Worth Knowing

Galactose is in the same family as sucrose, fructose and lactose.

Galactose is found in milk and whey, as well as the human body.

Nursing infants obtain the galactose required for their development and maturation from mother's milk.

Galactose contributes directly (as well as through bonds by way of contact points on cells) to vital information and control processes in the body. It also functions as a fundamental and structural substance for cells, cell walls, and intracellular matrix.

Galactose ...

... is in the same family as sucrose, fructose and lactose.

... is found in milk and whey, as well as the human body.

... is obtained from a protein-free distillate of whey and lactose.

... has a laxative effect in high doses; it is otherwise absolutely harmless.

... is produced in two- to ten-gram quantities (per day) by all healthy people. This D(+)galactose has a simple sugar structure and is a basic building block of life.
