It is also an important component of human breast milk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMore specifically, it is a carbohydrate, a type of organic molecule known as a monosaccharide. Its chemical formula is C6H12O6 and it consists of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is an aldohexose, meaning it is a monosaccharide with six carbon atoms. It is similar to glucose and fructose, the other two aldohexoses. D-galactose is the D-form of galactose, which is an epimer of glucose. All three aldohexoses are important components of cells and are used for energy production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe main source of D-galactose is the human diet, but it is also found in certain dietary supplements. However, it can also be synthesised in the body from glucose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the body, galactose is converted into glucose. Glucose is then used to produce energy or stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. Some of the glucose is broken down further to produce energy or to build other molecules in the body, such as fatty acids and amino acids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD-galactose is also involved in certain metabolic processes, such as the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Glycoproteins and glycolipids are important components of cell membranes, providing protection and recognition for the cell.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD-galactose is produced through various processes. The most common method is the hydrolysis of lactose, which is found in milk and other dairy products. During hydrolysis, the lactose is broken down into its two components: glucose and galactose. The galactose is then further processed to produce a powder form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe process of producing galactose powder begins with the isolation of galactose from lactose. This is usually done using a process called centrifugation. In this process, the lactose is separated from the galactose, which is then further processed. The galactose is then dissolved in water and heated to remove the water content and form a dry powder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGalactose powder is a very useful product. It is a white, odourless, crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water. It is used in a range of products, such as food, drinks and dietary supplements. Galactose powder is also used in the production of milk and other dairy products, as well as in the manufacture of infant formula.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs well as being used in food and drink production, the powder is also employed in a range of medical applications. It is used as a preservative in medicines and as an energy source in some sports drinks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntake via food\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFruit and vegetables generally contain little galactose, with a few exceptions such as apricots, apples, peaches and plums, which contain more of this sugar than other fruit and vegetables. Wholemeal cereals such as oats, rye and wheat also contain relatively little galactose, with the exception of maize, which contains more of this sugar than most cereals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDairy products such as milk, yoghurt and cheese are the richest sources. For example, a cup of milk contains around 4 grams of this sugar, whilst a cup of yoghurt contains around 3 grams. Cheese, on the other hand, contains much less of this sugar, averaging 0.6 grams per 100 millilitres.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA practical dietary supplement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTaking D-galactose in powder form, as offered on VITALOVE, is very simple and can be done in various ways. The powder can be mixed with water and taken as a drink, or mixed with a small amount of food such as yoghurt or porridge. It can also be taken in capsule form, either in an empty capsule or mixed with food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe recommended dosage for galactose powder varies from person to person. If the body tolerates the supplement well, the dose can be increased as required. \u003c\/span\u003eIt is important to bear in mind that, whilst galactose powder can be beneficial, it is not intended to replace regular medical treatment, and that taking too much can cause side effects. If you experience any adverse side effects such as nausea, abdominal pain or diarrhoea, you should stop taking the supplement and consult a doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"d-galactose-vita-200g-im-glas","title":"D-Galactose Powder (Vita)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eD-Galactose Vita - Natural Simple Sugar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"350\" data-end=\"658\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"350\" data-end=\"374\"\u003eWhat is D-galactose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"374\" data-end=\"377\"\u003eD-galactose is a natural simple sugar that occurs mainly as a component of milk sugar (lactose).
