It is well known how stress can impact mental health with depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but also very clear how it negatively impacts sleep.   Sleep-deprivation is more common than one thinks: 62% of adults around the world say they don't sleep as well as they'd like*.  

 Lactium®: a natural ingredient to help manage stress and sleep disorders

Lactium® is a 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 GABA_A 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, a consumer satisfaction study on 338 volunteers also showed an overall 78% satisfaction, quite evenly split in 78% for action on moderate stress and 77% for action on sleep disturbances.   Read our press release on Lactium
