Bioactives for stress and sleep wellbeing
Lactium ® , a natural bioactive for
mental wellbeing praised by its consumers!
How does stress affect
our mental health?
Stress is part of our modern life: 90 % of
the global population regards itself as being
stressed. Furthermore, WHO statistics were
estimating a worldwide 264 million people
to be affected by anxiety disorders. Those
statistics were last estimated in 2017, way
before covid-19 turned our lives upside
down and the global demand for stress-relief
aids sky-rocketed.
95 % of the global population recognize that
stress and anxiety have an impact on health.
With the pandemics, awareness soared
on how stress can impact mental health
conditions including depression, anxiety,
psychosis and post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD).
Lactium ® : a natural ingredient to help
manage stress and sleep disorders
Lactium ® is go-to solution for natural products
lovers. With no addiction or side effects,
this natural milk protein hydrolysate contains
a bioactive peptide with relaxing properties
called alpha-casozepine. Lactium ® acts as
an anxiolytic with an affinity for the GABAA
receptor, more specifically for its benzodiazepine
site.
9 clinical trials on more than 500 volunteers
have already demonstrated Lactium ® efficacy
on stress issues and sleep disturbances, with
a recognition by the scientific community
through several published articles.
In 2021, those were completed by a
consumer study to address a core objective
for all our customers: consumer satisfaction.
8 consumers in 10 are satisfied
with Lactium ®
Our latest study was performed on 300
healthy volunteers, recruited in USA, France
and China for their suffering from moderate
stress and sleep disturbances. They
received a 300 mg dose for 30 days and
their feedbacks were recorded through validated
questionnaires performed by Mérieux
Nutrisciences.
We were proud to receive results showing an
overall 78 % satisfaction, quite evenly split in
78 % for moderate stress and 77 % for sleep
disturbances.
More claims for Lactium ®
As we’ll explain in our conference, this
consumer study enables new claims on
packaging or ad prints for our customers. It
will complete the previously obtained 7 US
FDA structure function claims and 2 South
Korean claims.
Happy consumers’ recognition is now adding
to Lactium ® ’s solid scientific background for
its efficacy on stress and sleep improvement,
in a world where mental health has
become so central to our lives. Incorporated
for more than 20 years in over 300 products,
Lactium ® provides a natural way to regain
plain serenity!
