Independent clinical studies have shown 0.75 mg of lactotripeptides (dairy peptides) is sufficient for positive and beneficial effects in blood pressure control for both prehypertensives and mild hypertensives.
4 European and 14 Japanese human studies 3 different milk derived ingredients
tested, all containing lactotripeptides. 0.75 mg of lactotripeptides (latest
patented formulation) is sufficient to show positive and beneficial effects
in both prehypertensives and mild
hypertensives.
Human
volunteers ingested a yogurt drink enriched with lactotripeptides. Subsequently,
plasma samples were collected and analysed.
- The presence of IPP was demonstrated in measurable amounts
in the circulation.
- IPP survives gastro-intestinal tract

Milk
proteins are known to contain several biologically active peptides. However,
they are inactive within the original protein. To become effective, these
bioactive peptides first need to be released through enzymatic pre-digestion.
