Summary
This milk product is processed, incorporating ultra-filtered milk and added vitamins, which enhances its nutritional profile by increasing protein content and reducing lactose. While it contains beneficial ingredients like skim milk and ultra-filtered milk, the processing level limits its score. The inclusion of lactase enzyme and vitamins A and D3 supports nutrient intake, but the processing level prevents it from achieving a higher rating.
Key ingredients 5
Ultra-filtered MilkGood
Ultra-filtered milk undergoes a filtration process to concentrate protein and reduce sugar content. This process enhances the nutritional profile by increasing protein content and reducing lactose. It is beneficial for those seeking higher protein intake with lower sugar levels.

Lactase EnzymeNeutral
Lactase enzyme is added to milk to break down lactose, making it suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals. It is a natural enzyme that aids in the digestion of lactose without altering the nutritional content of milk. This addition is beneficial for improving digestibility for those with lactose intolerance.
Benefits
Improves digestibility of milk for lactose-intolerant individuals, allowing them to enjoy dairy without discomfort.
Vitamin A PalmitateNeutral
Vitamin A palmitate is a synthetic form of vitamin A added to fortify milk. It helps maintain vision, immune function, and skin health. While beneficial, it is important to consume in moderation to avoid potential toxicity from excessive intake.
