About Dairy Peptides
& Their Effects in Controlling Elevated
Blood Pressure
What are
dairy peptides?
The
dairy peptides
used in help:
blood pressure, with Isoleucine~Proline~
Proline (IPP)and Valine~Proline~Proline
as major active components, are derived
from milk protein (lactotripeptides).
When
consumed daily for a minimum of 4 weeks,
dairy peptides have been clinically proven
to be effective in controlling elevated
blood pressure & helping maintain it
at healthy levels.

Whilst
dairy peptides are derived from milk protein,
their beneficial effects cannot be experienced
by simply drinking milk. The functional
benefits are a result of the proprietary
derivation process using natural enzymes.
Elevated blood pressure can be caused
by various factors, one of which is a constriction of
blood vessels triggered by angiotensin 11.
In the angiotensin converting reaction,
called ‘ACE’, this hormone can cause blood
vessels to constrict, or narrow, effectively raising blood
pressure.
Dairy peptides act as a natural blocker
of this reaction. When the constriction is inhibited,
elevation of blood pressure can be prevented and kept
at a healthy level.
Safety and Efficacy
Dairy peptides are a naturally derived, non-prescription
ingredient that have an excellent safety profile. No adverse
side effects or safety issues have been documented in
safety tests during clinical trials. It is effective in
reducing elevated blood pressure but does not adversely
affect normal blood pressure.
Dairy peptides have been evaluated in more than 20 clinical
studies which cited that the ingredient is effective in
lowering elevated blood pressure and maintaining it at
healthy levels. The data indicated a maximum of 15mmHg
reduction in systolic pressure after two to four weeks
of consumption.
Research by the British Journal of Nutrition (2005)
has proven that dairy peptides are effective in the reduction
of systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The study concluded
that food or drink enriched with dairy peptides could
assist in the prevention of hypertension in people with
blood pressure that is above normal.
