An enzyme called lactase is needed for the breakdown of lactose.
Individuals with lactose intolerance do not make enough lactase and hence do not respond well to lactose. Undigested lactose leads to several gastrointestinal symptoms.
Lactose intolerant people can switch to other sources of protein instead of dairy to build and strengthen muscle and supplement their training.
Variations in the MCM6 gene, which is needed for lactase production, can increase one's risk of lactose intolerance.
