α-Lactalbumin is a protein that regulates the production of lactose in the milk of almost all mammalian species. It plays a crucial role in lactose synthesis
Alpha-lactalbumin is a natural whey protein containing a naturally high content of all essential and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), making it a unique protein source. The most significant amino acids in alpha-lactalbumin are tryptophan and cysteine, together with the BCAAs; leucine, isoleucine and valine.
As the second-highest protein found in whey protein isolate, it has all of the well-known benefits of whey proteins such as clean flavour, high solubility across a broad pH range, high branched chain amino acid content, and a complete essential amino acid profile with high bioavailability.
