Lactose Pharma Grade

Pharmaceutical grade lactose is produced by concentrating whey or permeate (a co-product of whey protein concentrate production) to over saturate the lactose, then removing, refining, drying and milling the lactose crystals. Pharmaceutical grade lactose is produced to meet rigid specifications, such as specific form and size distribution-monohydrate, crystalline, 40 mesh to 325 mesh, and a spray-dried mixture of crystalline and amorphous lactose for all applications. All products meet the requirements of the U.S., European and Japanese Pharmacopeia.
