Hilmar 7500
Milk Fat Globule Membrane
One of nature's smartest ingredients.
Providing increased phospholipid fractions, MFGM is essential to the developmental needs of newborns. It is a powerful whey protein fraction that is naturally present in mother’s milk, with dairy MFGM the next best thing. Research suggests that the benefits of MFGM go beyond infant nutrition providing support throughout life, particularly to the aging population. This ingredient has been shown to benefit cognition, cardiovascular health, gut health and mobility in older adults.1
The concentration of phospholipids and sphingolipids in MFGM makes it unique in the world of dairy ingredients.
The Power of MFGM
Hilmar 7500 is a milk fat globule membrane-enriched whey protein concentrate derived from sweet whey using a proprietary process that enables the concentration of the MFGM fraction. It is highly soluble and heat stable, making it applicable for use in varied foods and beverages that are designed to help consumers prioritize prevention of age-related issues.
With 70% protein content and a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1.0, Hilmar 7500 is a high-quality, complete protein. It also has a high level of branched chain amino acids, which stimulate the building of protein in muscle and reduce muscle breakdown. When consumed in sufficient amounts, BCAAs help maintain muscle mass and strength, which is important in healthy aging. Additionally, the bioactive proteins, phospholipids and sphingolipids that make up MFGM spark high interest because of the positive effects they are believed to have on human health.
