Weight Management

IdaPro and IdaPlus 1085 milk proteins are an excellent ingredient for weight loss products. Give your weight management formula the upper hand.

Studies have shown1 that when included in weight loss products, milk proteins provide satiation and stimulate enhanced fat burning. The feeling of satiation with milk protein lasts hours longer than with other proteins because of the stomach clotting properties of milk proteins and because glycomacropeptide (GMP) is released when the stomach begins digestion of the casein protein in milk proteins. GMP has also been shown to stimulate certain areas of the brain to provide a sensation of satiation.

Milk proteins and weight loss

People on calorie-restricted diets have less desire2 to eat when they consume products containing milk proteins because of the satiating properties of the casein micelles in milk proteins. Milk protein-bound calcium has also been shown to increase fat loss for people on calorie-restricted diets by as much as 22% in comparison with proteins without bioavailable calcium. This is because the calcium bound to the casein micelle in milk protein is more bioavailable—it absorbs more efficiently into the blood and is used more efficiently by the cells to help burn fat.
