Lactium®, a natural and unique solution for stress management

Lactium® is a milk protein hydrolysate that contains a bioactive decapeptide with relaxing properties, a-casozepine. This unique ingredient was discovered by Ingredia in collaboration with the University of Nancy and helps consumers to be calm and better manage their stress for over 15 years.

Thanks to its mechanism of action on the central nervous system, Lactium® reduces stress-related symptoms and helps to cope with occasional (exams, smoking cessation...) and daily stress (stomach aches, anxiety, sleep disorders...). This unique ingredient has shown the same effects as molecules acting on the benzodiazepine (BZD) site of the GABAA receptor in the brain. Lactium® has been shown to act 90 to 120 minutes after consumption in humans. Nevertheless, the real feeling of well-being after taking Lactium® generally appears after 1 to 2 weeks of supplementation, depending on the dosage.

This natural bioactive ingredient is safe for all members of the family, including pregnant women and children, and has no side effects (no addiction, no sedation). People with severe lactose intolerance can consume 7 to 12 g of lactose per day 2. Lactium® contains approximately 0.6% lactose. One 150 mg intake of Lactium® per day corresponds to - 0.9 mg of lactose. Therefore, people with lactose intolerance can consume Lactium® without worrying about their health.

In order to take care of your health, it is also recommended to have a balanced diet and to practice regular physical activity in parallel with the intake of a food supplement containing Lactium®. Lactium® helps to better manage emotions and anxiety so that you feel good in your body and mind, and sleep well.

Lactium® reduces the general increase in cortisol levels on waking.
Cortisol, also called the stress hormone, allows the body to react to a stressful situation. When a person is stressed, cortisol levels in the blood and saliva are higher. This has a number of consequences for the functioning of the body (increased blood pressure, release of glucose, etc.)
