Lactaid

Lactaid is a leading consumer healthcare brand specializing in products for individuals with lactose intolerance. Originally founded as an independent company by Alan Kligerman, it pioneered the use of the lactase enzyme to break down lactose in dairy products, making them digestible for those with lactase deficiency. The brand's portfolio includes dietary supplement caplets and drops, as well as a wide range of lactose-free dairy products such as milk, ice cream, and cottage cheese. Currently owned by Kenvue, the independent consumer health company spun off from Johnson & Johnson, Lactaid remains the most recognized name in the lactose-free dairy market. Its business model focuses on providing over-the-counter digestive aids and modified food products to manage metabolic enzyme deficiencies.
