Supercharge Your Healthy Aging Formulas with Science-Backed Ingredients

Over 34 percent of the U.S. population is aged 50 and older, with the numbers for this demographic rapidly growing along with the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. In fact, the oldest Baby Boomers hit age 50 in the middle of the 1990s and, by 2030, one in five Americans will be 65 or older.

Living longer is not the ultimate goal, however — helping consumers live well is the holy grail for nutritional formulators who are developing healthy aging products today.

Market data show that consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of the quality in life than ever before.

Aging-well nutrition encompasses ingredients that boost brain health, tackle immunosenescence, enhance beauty from within, aid energy and metabolism, help with stress and sleep, support cardiovascular health, and more.

MBP® (Milk Basic Protein) is a component of whey consisting of several different biologically active proteins, including high mobility group-like protein, cystatin C and lactoferrin.

Although milk is high in protein, MBP accounts for only a small fraction of its overall protein content, and so it is not feasible for consumers to achieve an optimal dose of MBP through the consumption of dairy products alone.

Human clinical research has shown that MBP maintains normal bone metabolism and structure (3).*

Mechanism of Action
MBP works by:

• • Encouraging healthy bone remodeling.* MBP increases the number of osteoblasts (cells that build bone) and inhibits the activity of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) (4).
• • Promoting collagen formation.* Calcium is needed for bone strength, but without collagen, it has no place to attach to bone. By increasing collagen production, MBP helps calcium stick to bone (5–8).*

Six human clinical studies (including four double-blind placebo-controlled trials) have shown that MBP improves bone mineral density in both young and elderly adults.*

Made from grass-fed, growth hormone-free and steroid-free cows, MBP is perfectly suited for bone-and-joint and strength-support formulations that require optimal levels of high biological quality protein.
