Lactose (milk sugar) is digested in the intestine by lactase. This enzyme “cuts” the lactose into small particles. In most cases, the body has enough of this enzyme to digest this sugar for a lifetime. However, in some people, its activity is abnormally low, and the unfragmented lactose ferments in the intestine, causing various transit problems (bloating…) and therefore poor digestion.

BJORG plant-based drinks are naturally lactose-free and therefore suitable for people with lactose intolerance. To start the day off right, you can drink them at breakfast. For example, the BJORG Almond and Calcium Drink, both delicious and a source of calcium, will be your morning partner!
