What Is MBP®?
MBP® is contained in trace amounts in bovine milk. Although milk contains protein in abundance, MBP accounts for only a small portion of milk’s overall protein content.
MBP consists of lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, angiogenin, cystatin C, kininogen fragment, and high-mobility group proteins that have an influence on bone structure via an effect on both osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Lactoperoxidase, angiogenin, and cystatin C in MBP all independently suppress bone resorption through different mechanisms.
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.
There is a reason our bones are re-born not only during the growth stage, when bones grow rapidly, but also after we reach adulthood. The reason is to rejuvenate aged bones. Even healthy bones lose their resilience when they grow old. As our bones are reborn, their supple bone strength and bone density are sustained.
