Why People Avoid Potassium Caseinate
People avoid potassium caseinate primarily because it is derived from milk, making it unsuitable for individuals who are lactose intolerant or following a dairy-free diet. Additionally, those with a milk allergy must avoid it to prevent allergic reactions. As it is a protein from milk, it contains lactose, albeit in very small amounts, which can still be problematic for sensitive individuals.
