Galactose
Galactose is an important component of breast milk and is necessary for the development and maturation of the infant's brain. It coats every cell and ensures good contact between the nerve cells, which is not only beneficial for babies. Although galactose is also used as an energy source, it is primarily necessary for the formation of essential molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and proteoglycans, which contribute to cell communication, the immune system, tissue structure and nerve function. It is essential for infant development (as a component of lactose), can stimulate the brain and, as a low glycaemic index sugar, offers benefits for diabetics and fat burning by binding ammonia and improving muscle performance...

Primary functions of galactose:
- Energy supplier: often converted to glucose and provides an energy source for cells; serves as an alternative for the brain when glucose is lacking.
- Element for cell structures:
- Glycoproteins: Essential for cell communication, blood clotting and the immune system.
- Glycolipids (such as gangliosides): Parts of cell membranes, essential for nerve growth and regeneration.
- Proteoglycans: Stabilise tissue, store water and contribute to joint function.
- Promotion of nerve function: Essential component of nerve cells and for the transmission of signals in the brain.
- Metabolic and detoxification function: Supports the binding of harmful ammonia, which increases muscle performance and relieves the liver.
- Low glycaemic index: Leads to a lower rise in blood sugar than household sugar, relieves the pancreas and can promote fat burning.
Which foods contain galactose?
- The main source is lactose (milk sugar), which is found in milk and dairy products.
- It is also found in small amounts in pulses (such as soya), certain types of fruit and honey.
- The most important component of breast milk to ensure the energy supply of infants.
