LATEST TRENDS

"Increasing Number of Lactose-Intolerance Infants to Propel Market Development"

Lactose intolerance is a clinical phenomenon that can result in gastrointestinal pain, diarrhea, flatulence, and bloating after consuming lactose-containing foods. Lactose permeability is the underlying physiological problem, which is caused by a discrepancy between the proportion of lactose consumed and the enzymes’ capacity. These conditions necessitate medical attention and the use of lactose-free baby formula. Lactose intolerance is related to lower quality of life in children. As a result, health and nutrition companies focus on the creation of cow milk alternatives that can give infants the necessary and acceptable nourishment and protein. This was a brand-new approach to food and kid nutrition. For example, lactose intolerance affects around 65.0 percent of the human population, according to the United States National Library of Medicine. This disorder is most frequent in Finland, where it affects approximately 1 in every 60,000 babies and is rapidly rising.
