FAQ's about MicroLactin™

 

MicroLactin^™ works by making the “tight junctions” of the blood vessels even tighter. This in turn significantly reduces the emigration of neutrophils to the affected site (i.e. sore joints). As a result, the cycle of pain is broken, resulting in better feeling joints, increased flexibility and quicker joint recovery.

Clinical studies support using a loading dose of two grams twice daily for the first 7-10 days, followed by a maintenance dose of one gram twice daily thereafter.

Do I need to take MicroLactin^™ every day?
Yes, a continuous daily supply of the concentrated micro-proteins found in MicroLactin™ is necessary to maintain its positive effects.

Should I take MicroLactin^™ before or after a meal?
For maximum benefit, MicroLactin™ should be taken twice daily - once in the morning and once in the evening. You may take it with or without food.

When will I start to feel the benefits of MicroLactin^™?
In the MicroLactin^™ clinical trials, participants experienced significant improvement in joint health in just 1-2 weeks. Many users report benefits in the first few days of use.

What age do you have to be to take MicroLactin^™?
To date, MicroLactin^™ has only been clinically tested in adults. Use by individuals under the age of 20 should be done under the care of a health care provider.

What clinical work has been done with MicroLactin^™?
Two clinical trials have been completed and published evaluating the efficacy and safety of MicroLactin^™. In each of these studies, MicroLactin^™ was found to deliver significant relief of joint pain and joint stiffness and to improve mobility in patients with osteoarthritis. Nine out of ten patients who were assigned to the MicroLactin™ group had significant relief of joint symptoms. It was also found to have a 60% greater treatment effect than glucosamine for overall improvement in joint function.

No. In clinical studies, no reports of serious adverse events were recorded. Also, Humanetics, the company providing this ingredient, has not received reports of side effects by consumers who have used the product since its commercial launch in 2001.

Are there any health conditions or medications that interact with MicroLactin^™?
Only 2 to 5% of the population have an allergy to cow's milk protein. Those individuals should avoid taking MicroLactin^™. In addition, milk proteins in MicroLactin^™ may interfere with the activity of tetracycline-type antibiotics. Please consult your physician.

Can I still use MicroLactin^™ if I'm lactose intolerant?
MicroLactin^™ is 90% lactose free. At these levels, lactose intolerance is not expected to be an issue (see below).

Can MicroLactin^™ be taken with other joint health products?
Yes, MicroLactin^™ can be taken with any other joint health product. Please consult your physician if you are taking any prescription medications.

Couldn’t I just drink regular cow’s milk and get the same effect?
The bioactive ingredients found in MicroLactin^™ are also found in regular cow’s milk, but in concentrations that are much too low to be practical. In addition, MicroLactin^™ is derived from milk that is obtained from specially treated and cared for cows in New Zealand. This milk then undergoes a patented isolation and concentration process to give you the most beneficial active ingredients in a convenient capsule form.

How long has MicroLactin^™ been around?
The technology to create MicroLactin^™ was discovered in the late 1950’s. Over the past 40 years, this technology has been further refined to the high level it is today. The first commercial sale of MicroLactin^™ started in 2001.

Does MicroLactin^™ have any benefits other than joint care?
Yes. Interestingly, there have published clinical trials illustrating the benefit of the active ingredients in MicroLactin^™ in supporting healthy blood pressure and healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range. There are potential benefits in sports recovery that is supported by a clinical trial showing improved recovery times in long distance runners. Finally, MicroLactin^™ is also rich in antibodies, which may play a role in promoting good intestinal health.

 

The product contains less than 115mg of lactose per tablet. This contrasts with the several thousand milligrams present in a glass of milk. This small amount of lactose can be a problem to some highly sensitive individuals. If you are in this category, MicroLactin^™ should be avoided.

 

NOW makes a formula called Dairy Digest Complete, which supplies plant-derived enzymes that help to digest the sugar, protein, and fat naturally found in milk.  You may wish to consider using this product if you are somewhat intolerant to milk products.
