How ameal bp® works

Biochemical reactions in your body can cause your blood vessels to narrow, making your blood pressure rise. AmealPeptide®, the naturally-derived, key ingredient in ameal bp®, blocks these reactions so your blood pressure is maintained at a healthy level+.*

AmealPeptide® – the key ingredient in ameal bp®

AmealPeptide® is the proprietary name for the two lactotripeptides Valyl-Prolyl-Proline (VPP) and Isoleucyl-Prolyl-Proline (IPP). Clinical studies have shown that it requires the combination of both VPP and IPP to produce optimal benefits for your blood pressure.

AmealPeptide® is derived from casein, which is a milk protein that is also found in dairy products. However, it is difficult to eat enough of these dairy products on a daily basis to obtain the blood pressure benefit that you can get from AmealPeptide®. Calpis' proprietary enzymatic technology hydrolyzes the milk protein to unlock the lactotripeptides (AmealPeptide®) responsible for helping you maintain healthy blood pressure.* Since it is purified and contains no lactose, AmealPeptide® is safe for people who are lactose intolerant or have milk allergies. Numerous studies have also shown no adverse effects. Talk to your doctor to see if ameal bp® is right for you.
