Dairy Peptides

What are dairy peptides?

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.

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 helping to maintain blood pressure at healthy levels.

How do dairy peptides work?

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.

Are dairy peptides safe?

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.

Have dairy peptides been clinically tested?

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.

Why can't I just drink milk to control my blood pressure?

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.
