Blood Pressure-Lowering Peptides From Milk: Casein and Whey-Derived ACE Inhibitors
Multiple antihypertensive peptides derived from bovine casein and whey proteins inhibit ACE and lower blood pressure, with some (IPP, VPP) showing clinical benefit — functional food peptides for cardiovascular health.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Casein-derived (IPP, VPP, alpha-casein fragments) and whey-derived (alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin peptides) ACE-inhibitory peptides lower blood pressure in animal and human studies — the most validated functional food peptides for cardiovascular health.
