Description
Serplus
Food supplement of α-lactalbumin, useful when the intestine, worn out by stress, drugs and food additives, is unable to obtain from the diet all the tryptophan necessary for the synthesis of serotonin.The bioavailability of alpha-lactalbumin is maximum: the entire dose taken orally is rapidly broken down into peptides, which are completely absorbed by the gastrointestinal system. A peculiar characteristic of this protein is its high content of tryptophan, the only precursor of serotonin. Alpha-lactalbumin is the whey protein most present in breast milk; in colostrum it represents as much as 40% of the proteins. Its actions at intestinal level are fundamental for the brain development of the newborn. In fact, brain development depends on the availability of cerebral serotonin. A very recent study 1 shows that repeated daily oral intakes of alpha-lactalbumin are able to increase the cerebral synthesis of serotonin; acting, therefore, in an absolutely natural way and without any side effects. Alpha-lactalbumin increases the cerebral synthesis of serotonin.
Ingredients
Each tablet contains 0.75 g of ultrapure alpha-lactalbumin extracted from cow's milk.
How to use
It is recommended to take 2-3 tablets a day spaced out during the day, on an empty stomach and at least half an hour before protein meals. The simultaneous or close intake of carbohydrates does not interfere with the absorption of alpha-lactalbumin.
Warnings
It has no contraindications or side effects, does not contain lactose or other whey proteins, responsible for milk allergies. It is also suitable for people with milk intolerance, celiac disease or diabetes.
If the product is taken with other proteins (for example: meat, milk or dairy products), these precipitate in the stomach and can trap part of the alpha-lactalbumin, decreasing its effectiveness. Instead, alpha-lactalbumin does not precipitate in the stomach and after 20 minutes is completely absorbed.
Format
Bottle of 60 chewable tablets.
Cod. SER0060
