Premium Finnish milk with 100 % taste, 0 % lactose
Do you feel abdominal pain, flatulence, bloating or rumbling after consuming milk? You might suffer from lactose intolerance, one of the most common reasons why some people have problems enjoying dairy products. Valio was the first company in the world to resolve this with its revolutionary and unique lactose free technology.
Lactose intolerance is a condition in which unabsorbed lactose causes digestive problems, such as diarrhoea, flatulence and bloating. These symptoms can vary greatly between individuals – and even in the same person between meals. The symptoms disappear when lactose is decreased or completely eliminated from the diet.
Lactose intolerance is a hereditary characteristic that usually develops during the growth. It can also be caused by diseases that destroy the intestinal mucosa. In this secondary type of lactose intolerance, when the intestinal mucosa heals, the ability to produce lactase is returned.

Watch Dr. Matti Harju explain what lactose intolerance is.
Lactase enzyme deficiency is most commonly a hereditary characteristic. In many populations, lactase deficiency is a prevalent characteristic. Only in populations where people are accustomed to drinking milk have the majority maintained a tolerance to lactose.
