Casein phosphopeptide

Casein phosphopeptide is a bioactive peptide derived from casein in milk. It contains phosphorylated amino acid residues and has several properties that make it suitable for dental and nutritional applications. Casein phosphopeptide binds to calcium ions and facilitates the absorption of calcium ions into the enamel, helping to remineralize and strengthen teeth. Additionally, due to its ability to form complexes with these ions, it can enhance the absorption of minerals such as calcium, iron and zinc in the digestive system. Casein phosphopeptide has also been studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
