Xelflex®, a unique solution to help improve joint health.

While searching for bioactive peptides in the mental health field, our researchers discovered a casein hydrolysate with joint health benefits. It was unpredicted yet possible, as several studies showed that consumption of dairy products was associated with lower low-grade systemic inflammation.

Xelflex®, showed in a preclinical study an inhibitory effect on inflammatory markers (cytokines), enabling a significative reduction of oedema.

Xelflex® can contribute to improve joint comfort.

conso Pep2Dia

Pep2Dia® for glucose and weight management

A patented active milk ingredient : Pep2Dia® is a new bioactive ingredient that boosts GLP-1 secretion and blocks carbohydrates.

Pep2Dia® is a patented milk protein hydrolysate containing an AP dipeptide (alanine-proline), which can help control glucose levels and maintain weight.

The AP dipeptide acts as an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. This digestive enzyme hydrolyzes polysaccharides into glucose, allowing them to be absorbed. This inhibition lowers blood sugar levels.

Pep2Dia® is the result of research conducted by scientists at Ingredia and the University of La Rochelle, France.

Pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that Pep2Dia® reduces postprandial blood sugar levels and waist circumference.

Lactium® To manage stress better

A unique bioactive ingredient

Lactium® is a milk protein hydrolysate which contains a unique bioactive decapeptide. This decapeptide, also called α-casozepine, is believed to be naturally released in babies who just consumed milk.

A proven effect on stress

Lactium® is reknown for its soothing and relaxing properties. It significantly reduces stress-related symptoms, both from chronic and acute stress. Lactium®’s efficacy was proven through 9 clinical studies in a total of over 450 healthy volunteers.

Lactium® is an all-natural ingredient and does not induce any side effects. It can be used by adults and children alike with the right dosage.

Lactium® has been used worldwide for over 15 years. It is specifically recommended for people susceptible to stress (pressure at work, exams, tobacco withdrawal, dieting, sleep disorders, etc.).

Immunity-booster

Proferrin® To strengthen immune and digestive health

Proferrin®, a pure and native lactoferrin

Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein in milk and that has iron-binding capabilities. Thanks to Ingredia’s know-how and expertise, Proferrin® is non-denatured, retaining lactoferrin’s native structure in its greatest purity.

Strengthen health

Numerous scientific studies have highlighted lactoferrin’s effects on innate and adaptive immune responses through the stimulation of immune cells. In vitro studies have also shown that Proferrin® boosts the growth and differentiation of intestinal cells; thereby strengthening the immune system and digestive health.

Proferrin® is suitable for people with iron-deficiencies, prone to intestinal disorders or wanting to boost their immune defenses.

Prodiet® Colostrum To strengthen the immune system

Carefully selected colostrum

Prodiet® Colostrum is carefully selected and comes from the first few milkings of our farmers’ cows after calving.

Colostrum is the “pre-milk” produced by mammals in the first hours after giving birth. It is naturally rich in nutrients, growth factors and antibodies. It protects the baby animal against infection in the first days of its life.

Protected biological activity

Thanks to a specific process, Ingredia is able to retain Prodiet® Colostrum’s bioactive composition in immunoglobulins (IgG) and PRP (Platelet-rich plasma). Their biological activity in immune responses is well-known and guaranteed.

Prodiet® Colostrum is an essential ingredient to strengthen the immune system of the whole family, from children to adults and seniors.
