Casein Peptides

Casein peptides are a casein hydrolysate and may contain casein phosphopeptides and lactotripeptides, used in intestinal mineral binding and blood-pressure-related research.

Primary

Promotes intestinal mineral solubilization and transport

Casein phosphopeptides carry phosphoserine clusters that bind mineral ions such as calcium and iron in the gut, keeping them soluble and reducing calcium-phosphate precipitation. Cheese ripening also produces this class of peptide naturally; already-hydrolyzed peptides start binding earlier in the intestine.

Primary

Helps maintain comfortable blood pressure

Lactotripeptides from beta-casein hydrolysis inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme in human trials; people with mildly high blood pressure are often put into this set of observations. Fermented milk or casein hydrolysates are common sources of this proline tripeptide set.
