Lactose Intolerance
Lactose content has a great influence on allergic-like responses experienced by some individuals. Lactose intolerant individuals (regardless of body weight) can usually tolerate up to about 77 mg. lactose before a response is likely to occur. (Ley) Dry Synertek colostrum (such as in the powder and lozenges) is about 11.5% lactose. A lactose intolerant person should be able to use two lozenges (200 mg each) at a time, or 1/4 tsp (about 400 mg) of the powder at a time, or 1/2 tsp of the liquid without a reaction. Some persons with lactose intolerance can use larger amounts without experiencing lactose intolerance symptoms.
Dairy Allergies
Some persons with dairy allergies report symptoms with the lozenges and the powder and some do not. Persons with dairy allergies may want to try the liquid since it has the casein removed.
Synertek Colostrum is Tested Organic
Synertek colostrum is free of heavy metals, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, hormones and antibiotics. Each dairy is required to sign an affidavit that they do not feed animal parts or by products.
