Serplus 60 Tablets

Serplus

Food supplement of α-lactalbumin, useful when the gut, worn down by stress, medicines and food additives, cannot obtain from the diet all the tryptophan needed for serotonin synthesis.
The bioavailability of alpha-lactalbumin is maximal: the whole orally ingested dose is rapidly broken down into peptides, which are completely absorbed by the gastrointestinal system. A distinctive feature of this protein is its high tryptophan content, the only precursor of serotonin. Alpha-lactalbumin is the most abundant whey protein in breast milk; in colostrum it accounts for as much as 40% of the proteins. Its actions in the gut are fundamental for the newborn's brain development, since brain development depends on the availability of brain serotonin. A very recent study¹ shows that repeated daily oral intake of alpha-lactalbumin can increase brain serotonin synthesis, thus acting in a natural way. Alpha-lactalbumin increases brain serotonin synthesis.

Ingredients
Each tablet contains 0.75 g of ultrapure alpha-lactalbumin extracted from cow's milk.

Directions for use
Take 2-3 tablets a day spread throughout the day, on an empty stomach and at least half an hour before protein-containing meals. Taking carbohydrates at the same time or shortly before or after does not interfere with the absorption of alpha-lactalbumin.

Warnings
It contains neither lactose nor the other whey proteins responsible for milk allergies. It is also suitable for people with milk intolerance, coeliac 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, reducing its effectiveness. Alpha-lactalbumin, on the other hand, does not precipitate in the stomach and is completely absorbed after 20 minutes.

Format
Bottle of 60 chewable tablets.

Code SER0060
