Nestlé develops low-lactose, high-nutrition milk

Nestlé has announced the development of N3 milk, made from cow’s milk. It contains all the nutrients found in milk such as proteins, vitamins and minerals, as well as prebiotic fibres, a low-lactose content and over 15% less calories than standard milk.

To develop it, Nestlé used a proprietary technology to reduce lactose through specialised enzymes, generating prebiotic fibres. Clinical studies showed that these fibres promote the growth by up to three-fold of multiple types of bifidobacteria, which are capable of delivering gut microbiome benefits in healthy adults.

The milk has been introduced in a range of powdered milks in China under the N3 brand. This includes a full cream and a skimmed milk product, which are high in protein to support a well-balanced diet for the family.

The range includes two products fortified with vitamins, minerals and probiotics to support bone health, muscle growth and strength, as well as immunity.
