Lactium®: recognized benefits

Identified thanks to babies

Lactium^® was developed after 10 years of Research and Development with several partners including University of Lorraine in France. However, its discovery was originally thanks to babies! By observing that recently ingested milk provided babies with soothing and serenity, Ingredia researchers tried to understand why. They identified a decapeptide contained in milk proteins with soothing properties: alpha-casozepine.

Developed by Ingredia

After many years of work, Ingredia researchers went on to develop an innovative process to reproduce the baby’s digestive mechanism. They used a well-known digestive enzyme to isolate the milk protein hydrolysate containing the bioactive peptide – alpha-casozepine – from casein. Named Lactium^®, this all natural-origin food ingredient acts gently on the body. Lactium^® is your ally in any number of stressful situations; whether you are under pressure at work, having trouble sleeping, eating irregularly, suffering from mood swings while quitting smoking, when your libido is low or when you are having problems with your concentration or memory just before an exam.

Recommended for the whole family

Long before it reached the market, Lactium^® was the subject of numerous assessments on toxicity or side effect according to OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) guidelines and Good Laboratory Practices. These demonstrated that Lactium^® presents no health risks at the recommended doses:

No acute or chronic toxity,
No undesirable side-effects:
– No memory loss
– No habituation
– No addiction
– No sedation
– No disinhibition

Lactium^® is a hydrolyzed milk protein which contains little lactose (<1%) and therefore presents low risks of intolerance. Unlike benzodiazepines, which belong to the anxiolytics family, Lactium^® does not have any toxic effect on the body, even at high doses. It is completely natural-origin, and therefore totally harmless.

According to Marc Dellière, M.D, General Practitioner (discover his interview), as a natural-origin ingredient, Lactium^® can be used by all ages – both children and adults. It is also recommended for active people and athletes.

Lactium^® already has a large number of satisfied consumers around the world.

How does Lactium^® work?

Thanks to its selective affinity for certain receptors in the central nervous system, the GABA-A receptors, Lactium^® optimizes their capacities, resulting in an enhanced feeling of relaxation.

Unlike benzodiazepines, Lactium^® does not create any addiction, even at a high dosage. It therefore acts effectively and naturally.

Approved by regulatory authorities around the world

Lactium^® is a unique and innovative food ingredient. Its effectiveness and safety have been approved according to regulations enforced around the world (Food grade). It has obtained the necessary permits in Europe, the United States as well as in other countries including Australia (Therapeutic Goods Administration), South Korea (Korean Food and Drug Administration) and China.
