Lactium® is a natural molecule from milk. More specifically, it is a milk protein hydrolysat which has been filtered in order to is anolate only a single bioactive peptide.


This stripper, the alpha-casozepine, was discovered, Because it is he who calms and makes babies sleep who have just consumed milk. Apart from babies, several studies have shown that taking milk before bedtime improves sleep in some people (12). Similarly, taking Whey Protein, in the evening can help to sleep better (13).

The proteins that make up lactium® are the most effective for sleeping thanks to their relaxing properties (14-15) . For example, for 4 weeks, people with sleep disorders took 1 Lactium® capsule, 1 hour before going to bed (16). Sleep profits appeared obvious after 2 weeks of continuous use. They manifest themselves by faster falling asleep and more restful sleep. On the other hand, lactium® does not seem to extend the sleep time, which suggests that this food supplement acts more on sleep quality than on its quantity. No side effects or addiction has been revealed (16).

The action of lactium® is gradually developing, over its use, day after day. On the other hand, it continues more than 2 weeks after stopping the use of the supplement. This distinguishes him from sleeping pills, which produce addiction effects that make sleep deteriorate even more when you stop taking these drugs. A second 12 -week study confirms that 300 mg of lactium® (2 capsules) improve the quality of sleep in people who find it difficult to sleep (17). Here again, the effect develops over time, being stronger at the end of treatment than after 2 weeks of use.

One of the actions of the lactium® is to moderate the level of the Cortisol, the stress hormone. It is this hormone, which, when rising, wakes us up in the morning (18). This explains why, when we are stressed, we have the greatest difficulty sleeping. The excess of secretion of cortisol keeps us awake and/or wakes us up in the middle of the night. This soothing action of lactium® could be induced by the activation of GABA receptors (18).

Lactium® Nutrimuscle is aimed:

To athletes who wish to improve their sleep and reduce their stress as a competition approaches;
To the sedentary people who seek to reduce their stress whether chronic or linked to an event such as an exam.
