How Lactium works
Lactium is a bioactive decapeptide derived from the protein casein found in cow's milk.
It works by modulating the activity of GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter in the brain that regulates mood and promotes relaxation. By enhancing the binding of GABA to its receptors, Lactium increases GABA activity, leading to a calming effect on the brain.
Additionally, Lactium has been shown to reduce levels of cortisol, a stress hormone released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. Elevated cortisol levels can contribute to anxiety, sleep disturbances and other health issues. By reducing cortisol, Lactium may help manage stress-related symptoms.
