Frequently Asked Questions

What is D-Galactose used for?

D-Galactose is primarily used as a sugar source in food, beverages, and nutritional supplements, as well as in pharmaceuticals.

Is D-Galactose safe for consumption?

Yes, it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when consumed in appropriate amounts.

How does it compare to other sugars?

D-Galactose is less sweet than sucrose and is primarily metabolized differently due to its role in lactose metabolism.

Can it be used in diabetic formulations?

While D-Galactose is a sugar, its use in diabetic formulations should be approached with caution, and individual dietary needs should be considered.

Do you provide samples for testing?

Yes, samples of D-Galactose are available upon request for potential customers.
