Milk in general (and bovine milk in particular) arguably contains more growth factors than any other single food source. Growth factors are specific proteins which act as intra cellular signaling molecules. Scientists in Japan have isolated a fraction from whey protein which they have determined to have positive metabolic effects on bone health. It is called Milk Basic protein, or MBP, and it is the active ingredient in Osteo-Bone Protection (OBP) from AOR.
MBP stimulates the activity and proliferation of osteoblasts (bone-building cells) while simultaneously suppressing the activity and proliferation of osteoclasts (cells responsible for the breakdown of bone). MBP is particularly effective at supporting the production of collagen as well as the retention of calcium.
Science In Action: What The Studies Say
As with all promising nutraceutical innovations, early in-vitro research revealed encouraging indications of what would later become identified as MBP. Indeed, such indications at the in-vitro level need to be encouraging in order to secure further, in-vivo studies. This preliminary research identified whey protein as having an exemplary influence on the relationship between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. It was discovered that in addition to fortifying osteoblasts, whey protein was also shown to suppress osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoclast cell formation. This began a lengthy scientific process to isolate the fraction of whey protein that scientists believed was responsible for these bone-reinforcing effects. MBP was the eventual result of that process.
The human studies with MBP have reflected the success of the preliminary research. In one study among healthy menopausal women, the MBP group reported a bone mineral density (BMD) increase of 1.21% while the placebo group recorded a 0.66% BMD decrease. Another study among healthy adult women saw the MBP group gain approximately 70% more bone mineral density than the control group. Finally, the MBP in Osteo-Bone Protection from AOR comes in small, convenient capsules that can be taken with or without food and have no interactions with calcium or any other nutrients.
