Dr Sarah Brewer talks about dairy peptides and its effects on high blood pressure

Dr Sarah Brewer - lowering blood pressure:

"New research suggests that dairy lactotripeptides (dairy peptides) are the active component to help with hypertension (high blood pressure). These peptides naturally block the action of an enzyme, called ACE, to promote blood vessel relaxation... For those with high blood pressure, a product containing dairy peptides is a natural way to help lower blood pressure...."

Dr Sarah Brewer - The Natural Health Guru says:

Visit the Natural Health Guru website"There's currently a lot of interest in the fact that people with the highest intake of dairy products have the lowest blood pressure. A recent study, involving 2245 people, found those with the highest intake of low-fat milk and milk products were 20% less likely to develop high blood pressure (over a six year follow-up period) than those with the lowest intakes. Originally, it was thought that calcium was the beneficial ingredient. New research suggests that dairy lactotripeptides are the active component. These peptides naturally block the action of an enzyme, called ACE, to promote blood vessel relaxation. This is the same enzyme targeted by ACE inhibitor drugs prescribed to treat hypertension. For those with high blood pressure, a product containing dairy peptides is a natural way to help lower blood pressure."
