Understanding Lacprodan® BLG-100 (Whey Protein Isolate)

What Is It?

Understanding Lacprodan® BLG-100 (Whey Protein Isolate)

Lacprodan® BLG-100, a purified beta-lactoglobulin that is derived from bovine whey, represents a groundbreaking development in whey protein technology. Produced by Arla Foods Ingredients, this innovative protein isolate offers a unique nutritional profile with exciting and results-driven applications in sports, active, and medical nutrition, in addition to dietary management for various specific health conditions.

How It Works?

How Lacprodan® BLG-100 (Whey Protein Isolate) Works?

Lacprodan® BLG-100 is a whey protein isolate composed of 100% pure beta-lactoglobulin (BLG). BLG is a major component of whey protein, and it is known for its high content of essential amino acids (EAA’s), particularly, the essential amino acid leucine, which is a key and powerful essential amino acid involved in muscle protein synthesis and crucial to the muscle-building process (short- and long-term). Compared to standard whey protein isolates, Lacprodan® BLG-100 contains:

45% MORE leucine
26% MORE EAA’s
40% MORE branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s)

Overall, these specifications make Lacprodan® BLG-100 a superior choice for facilitating, maximizing, and optimizing muscle performance, recovery, growth, and maintenance. Lastly, it is produced via advanced crystallization techniques that ensure unprecedented purity and minimal mineral content, making it ideal for general, holistic, and specialized nutritional needs.

Its low viscosity is ideal for clear, ready-to-drink beverages (e.g., KRE18 Muscle Fuel & Recovery).
It also tastes better than single amino acid supplements like leucine.

Clinical and Medical Nutrition:

High-quality protein with low mineral levels makes Lacprodan® BLG-100 valuable for various health conditions.
CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease): Minimal phosphorus content supports CKD dietary management.
Malnutrition and Muscle Loss: The high leucine content helps older adults or recovering patients maintain muscle mass.

Holistic and General Dietary Supplementation

Can be added to foods, providing high protein in small servings.
Versatile for sports nutrition, functional foods, and medical foods (e.g., protein-enriched snacks, beverages, or ready-to-drink products).

Proven and Science-Backed Results

High leucine content stimulates muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and supports muscle growth in diverse populations.
Low phosphorus content meets CKD patient needs.

Supplementation Safety and Possible Side Effects

Genotoxicity studies and a 13-week oral toxicity study in rats showed no adverse effects, with a NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg/day.
Approved as a novel food in the EU (2022), GRAS in the US, and received ADPI’s 2022 Breakthrough Award for Dairy Ingredient Innovation.

Overall, Lacprodan® BLG-100 stands out as a safe, research-backed, high-protein ingredient suitable for a wide range of nutritional products.
