NOW Foods, Lactose, Encourages Beneficial Gut Bacteria, Product of the USA, 1-Pound (Packaging May Vary)

This is a powerful prebiotic. It took 2 months to go from a tiny pinch daily to my current maintenance dose of 1 teaspoon per day. Gas and extreme bloating were major side effects until about 1/2 of the way through. By the end of those 2 months, my stomach became super flat, and also (embarrassingly, but could be helpful for some), the fire in my tush finally went out. Both bloating and tush issues are sensitive areas for me, and while not a cure, this went a long way in curbing those symptoms. Obviously, this will work only if one is lactose intolerant. I read a paper postulating that the decreasing ability of adults to digest lactose could provide advantage (thus selective pressure?) in maintaining intestinal health into advanced age. Interesting.

I use this lactose in my homemade meads and dessert wines, and it works wonderfully. The quality is excellent, it dissolves smoothly, doesn’t clump, and adds just the right touch of creaminess and sweetness without fermenting out.I especially like how it helps balance out stronger flavors, giving the finished product a fuller, rounder mouthfeel. It’s consistent from batch to batch, so I can rely on it to produce the same results every time. The one-pound bag is a generous amount too, and since a little goes a long way, it lasts quite a while.The packaging is sturdy and resealable, keeping the powder fresh between uses. It’s also a nice bonus that it’s made in the USA and clearly labeled with all the important details, which gives me confidence in the product.Overall, this is a high-quality lactose that’s versatile and dependable. For anyone brewing mead, beer, or dessert-style wines, I’d definitely recommend it.

This lactose milk sugar is nice and fresh, packaged well, and works great when I make my homemade stout. I would purchase this brand again.

I thought these were a great deal. But then I found that you can get an even better deal getting themFrom Vitacost.The quality is good.

Bit of an odd one for me to review, but hubby is a Veterinarian and he needed this to give some medication to cows. Worked as expected, and he was very happy with the price for the quality/freshness.

Wow i didn't know this stuff existed before I started brewing. I learned that to back sweeten my ciders that I need to add a non-fermentable sugar, cue the lactose sugar. I honestly didn't know it had so many different uses.Tastes great in my brews!

A bit pricy but worth it. I bought this product to aid in digestion and regularity for my son. It helps to soften stool and keep you regular without cramps! I rather give my child something I know and grew up with, than medicine I can't pronounce. I trust NOW Foods and use several products from this company. A warning about Lactose Sugar, Do Not Use if you are lactose intolerant!

I ordered 4 of these as I use this almost everyday. 3 of the 4 were delivered perfectly but the 4th one had a tear in the packaging and the cardboard box it came in was covered in lactose powder. Just a heads up if ordering.
