It is chemically derived from lactose, the sugar found in milk, and has about 40% of the sweetness of sucrose. Due to its sugar alcohol nature, it contributes fewer calories compared to regular sugar and is often used in sugar-free and low-calorie products. Lactitol is also known for its properties as a laxative in larger doses, similar to other sugar alcohols.
