Study assesses the efficacy of protein hydrolysis in developing gut-friendly dairy alternatives

A recent Finnish study investigated the effects of A2 milk, marketed as a gut-friendly alternative, and protein-hydrolyzed lactose-free milk on gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammation levels. The study found that protein-hydrolyzed lactose-free milk was as tolerated as A2 milk by lactose-tolerant individuals and better tolerated by lactose-intolerant individuals.
