Galactose is a naturally occurring monosaccharide (simple sugar) and is structurally closely related to glucose. Unlike glucose, galactose leads to a slower increase in blood glucose levels. Its metabolism is largely independent of insulin, making it a popular choice for people who value a more balanced and steady energy supply.

How does galactose differ from other types of sugar?

In contrast to table sugar (sucrose) or glucose, galactose has a significantly lower glycaemic index (approximately 20 compared to 65 for glucose). Due to this slower metabolism, the body is supplied with energy more evenly, without pronounced fluctuations.
Galactose has a mild, natural sweetness that is comparable to the taste of dextrose. Compared to conventional table sugar (sucrose: sweetness = 100%), its sweetness is approximately 45-60%.

Where is galactose found?

Dairy products are considered the primary dietary sources of galactose. Naturally, galactose is also consumed through foods such as tomatoes, dates, bananas, legumes and fermented products. Breast milk also contains this valuable sugar.
