Lactium®, a natural origin and unique solution for stress management

Lactium® is a milk protein hydrolysate that contains a bioactive decapeptide with relaxing properties, α-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 12g of lactose per day². Lactium® contains approximately 0.6% lactose. One 150mg intake of Lactium® per day corresponds to - 0.9mg of lactose. Therefore, people with lactose intolerance can consume Lactium® without worrying about their health.

To take care of your health, combine a balanced diet and regular physical activity with a food supplement containing Lactium® which helps better manage emotions and anxiety for physical and mental well-being.

A clinically proven natural origin ingredient for health

Lactium® was discovered by observing the state of calm in which infants find themselves after drinking milk. The bioactive is the result of more than 10 years of research and development!

9 clinical studies, carried out between 1999 and 2018 on more than 500 adults, have proven the effectiveness of Lactium® on the physiological and psychological parameters linked to stress.

Proven effectiveness on the physiological response to stress

Cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, allows the body to react to a stressful situation. When a person is stressed, their cortisol levels are higher in the blood and saliva. This has many consequences on the body's functioning (increased blood pressure, glucose release, etc.). Plasma cortisol levels are significantly reduced after the stress tests in the Lactium® treated group but not in the placebo group.

With Lactium®, there’s a significantly lower increase of blood pressure vs. placebo group, after stress test.

Proven effectiveness on the psychological response to chronic stress (sleep, eating, memory problems, etc...)

Lactium® systematically reduces the perception of stress and anxiety in women. It acts on:
- Digestion (reduces nausea and snacking)
- Cardiovascular system (reduces feelings of oppression)
- Concentration and memory
- Mood and social interaction
