BONE STRENGTH
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 ingest 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.* It 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).
- 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.*
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.
MBP® is FDA GRAS-notified, gluten-free, non-GMO, Kosher and Halal.
