Common Questions About Galactose

What is galactose?

Galactose is a monosaccharide sugar that is found in milk and dairy products. It is one of the building blocks of lactose, the sugar found in milk. Galactose is also naturally present in certain fruits, vegetables, and grains.

What does galactose do for the body?

Galactose is a monosaccharide sugar that is used by the body to produce energy. It is a component of lactose, a sugar found in dairy products, and is also important for the synthesis of glycolipids and glycoproteins, which are essential for cell membrane structure and function in the body.

How much galactose do I need?

Galactose is not considered an essential nutrient, as our bodies can convert glucose to galactose when necessary.

Can galactose be harmful?

In individuals with a condition called Galactosemia, which is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to process galactose, the consumption of galactose can indeed be harmful. For most people, however, galactose is not harmful and is found naturally in certain foods like dairy products and fruits.
