Milk and Lactose — Friend or Challenge for the Body

“I don’t drink milk anymore” — a phrase we hear more and more often today. Some say it out of self-care, others — because of changing dietary habits. But is milk really our enemy, or do we simply misunderstand how it works?

Milk has accompanied humans since childhood — it’s the first food we ever know. It remains an important part of many families’ diets. However, not everyone digests lactose — the natural milk sugar — equally well.

Why milk remains a valuable product

Milk is not just a white beverage but a true source of nutrients. It contains over fifty microelements: calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron. Calcium from milk is particularly well absorbed, making it an essential part of a healthy daily diet.

It also provides vitamins A, D, E, C and B-group vitamins, as well as easily digestible proteins that help maintain the body’s natural balance.
Fermented dairy products such as yogurt, kefir, and buttermilk contain less lactose and help reduce fermentation and gas formation in the intestines while supporting the gut microbiota naturally.

What is lactose intolerance

Lactose intolerance occurs when the body produces insufficient lactase enzyme, which breaks down milk sugar. As a result, bloating, rumbling, or heaviness may occur after drinking milk.

The good news is that today you can enjoy dairy without discomfort — thanks to supplemental lactase in the form of a dietary supplement.

Mamalac — comfort after every glass of milk

Mamalac by Vorwarts Pharma is a dietary supplement containing the lactase enzyme, which helps effectively break down lactose. It reduces intestinal discomfort, supports the natural gut microbiota, and promotes comfortable digestion of dairy products.

The line includes drops for infants and capsules for adults — convenient for the whole family. The product meets international quality standards and is well tolerated.

How to take Mamalac

• Drops can be added to breast milk or formula to help infants digest lactose comfortably.
• Capsules should be taken before consuming dairy products — simple and convenient, even when traveling or at work.

Mamalac is suitable for those who don’t want to give up their favorite foods but value lightness and comfort after enjoying milk, cheese, or ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What should I do if I experience bloating after milk?
   It may indicate that your body doesn’t produce enough lactase enzyme. In that case, consider using products that help break down lactose, such as Mamalac.
2. How is Mamalac different from lactose-free products?
   Lactose-free products are pre-processed milk, while Mamalac helps your body digest lactose naturally. It’s convenient if you don’t want to change your usual diet.
3. Can I take Mamalac with fermented dairy products?
   Yes. Yogurt and kefir contain less lactose, and when combined with lactase, digestion becomes more comfortable.
4. Who can use Mamalac?
   Adults, children, people with lactase deficiency, or anyone who feels discomfort after consuming dairy.

There’s no need to eliminate milk just because it sometimes causes discomfort. The key is to understand your body and help it digest lactose properly.
