About MBP
MBP is a component of whey consisting of several different biologically active proteins, including high mobility group-like protein, cystatin C and lactoferrin. Six human clinical studies (including four double-blind placebo-controlled trials) have shown that MBP increases bone mineral density in both young and elderly adults.
Although milk is high in protein, MBP accounts for only a small fraction of its overall protein content. Therefore, it is not practical to ingest a therapeutic dose of MBP through the consumption of dairy products.
