D-Tagatose Vita 500 g Powder in Bag
D-tagatose is a natural simple sugar with a fructose-like structure and a low absorption rate in the body. Only about 20% of ingested tagatose passes through the small intestine and is then processed through similar metabolic pathways as fructose, while the remaining 80% reaches the large intestine. There, tagatose can serve as nourishment for intestinal bacteria and be fermented.
With a sweetness similar to household sugar but significantly fewer calories, tagatose is a natural sugar alternative.
This simple sugar occurs naturally in certain fruits and processed dairy products such as apples, pineapples, oranges, heated cow's milk and fermented products such as yogurt. It is about 92% as sweet as sucrose but has only around 38% of the calories.
Since the human body does not require tagatose, there are no deficiency symptoms if it is not consumed. Excessive intake may have a laxative effect and cause digestive discomfort.
For diabetics, tagatose can be an interesting sweetening alternative due to its low glycemic index of GI=3, as it has little effect on blood sugar levels.
Tagatose is also tooth-friendly because it is not metabolized by caries-causing bacteria and therefore does not contribute to acid formation in the mouth.

Health Claims Regulation on D-Tagatose
The EU health claims regulation states the following for foods and drinks that contain tagatose instead of sugar:
- Blood sugar levels: Consumption of foods containing tagatose instead of sugar causes blood glucose to rise less after consumption compared with sugar-containing foods.
- Tooth friendliness: Consumption of foods containing tagatose instead of sugar contributes to the maintenance of tooth mineralization.
