When consumed daily for a minimum of 4 weeks, dairy peptides have been scientifically proven to be effective in helping to maintain blood pressure at healthy levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
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 helping to maintain blood
pressure at healthy levels.
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.
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.
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.
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.
