Galactose
Looking for an easy way to test and monitor your Galactose?
It's included in the HealthieOne Complete test.
Galactose
Explanation: Galactose is a type of sugar that comes mainly from lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. The body breaks lactose into galactose and glucose. Galactose, metabolized in the liver, is then further processed to provide energy or stored for later use. It is an important energy source.
Test purpose:
- Detect galactosemia: is a genetic condition where there's a deficiency in the enzymes needed to metabolize galactose, leading to its accumulation.
- Evaluate liver function: High galactose levels can indicate problems with the liver, as it plays a key role in processing galactose.
