What are dairy peptides and how do they work?

Dairy peptides (milk protein) naturally occur in dairy food. Scientific studies show that they can actively help you to maintain healthy blood pressure as part of a healthy diet.

Elevated blood pressure can be caused by various factors, one of which is a constriction or narrowing of blood vessels triggered by the hormone angiotensin 11. In the Angiotensin Converting Reaction, called ‘ACE’, this can cause blood vessels to constrict, or narrow, effectively raising blood pressure. Dairy Pepetides from Milk Protein (Lactotripeptides) act as a natural blocker of this reaction.

When the constriction is inhibited, elevation of blood pressure can be prevented and kept at healthy levels.
