SUPPLEMENT DIRECT

Now, there is a new direction in joint care supplements. A direction which, like glucosamine and chondroitin, is based upon good clinical science. But, unlike these popular supplements, Microlactin is found to be much more effective at supporting the body's natural antiinflammatory system. This means a noticeable improvement in overall joint function in a much shorter duration of use. This new direction is a dietary supplement called MicroLactin.

MicroLactin, as its name implies, is comprised of micronutrients found naturally in cow's milk. Scientists have discovered a small, low-molecular weight fraction of milk that carries unique properties associated with the human inflammatory response system. Through a unique process, these bioactive micronutrients are superconcentrated so that they can be delivered in a convenient dietary supplement form. Modern science has simply harnessed Mother Nature's own approach for optimal joint function.

Scientists and medical doctors, working together, have conducted in-depth clinical research into the effectiveness of MicroLactin for improving overall joint function. Two independently conducted clinical trials have confirmed that it is highly effective at improving joint function in a short period of use. One recent trial, published in the July, 2002 edition of Current Therapeutic Research, compared the use of MicroLactin to glucosamine sulfate. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study revealed that MicroLactin, had a significantly better treatment effect versus placebo than did glucosamine. In fact, this treatment effect, which measured the overall improvement over six weeks in joint function scores, was 60% greater for MicroLactin, than for glucosamine.

What does MicroLactin do?
MicroLactin is a revolutionary new dietary supplement clinically proven to promote healthy joint function. This unique product has been shown in published clinical trials to significantly decrease temporary joint pain and stiffness and significantly improve mobility and range of motion. It is well tolerated and easy to take.

What are the active ingredients in MicroLactin?
The active ingredients in MicroLactin are concentrated milk proteins. These proteins are found naturally in cow's milk and are comprised of unique antibodies and other bioactive micronutrients. Using a patented process that isolates and concentrates these natural proteins in sufficient quantities, MicroLactin? can be encapsulated.

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

What is the recommended dose of MicroLactin?
Clinical studies support using a loading dose of two (2) grams twice daily for the first 7-10 days followed by a maintenance dose of one (1) 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, joint stiffness and 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.

Does MicroLactin have any side effects?
No. In clinical studies, no reports of serious adverse events were recorded. Also, Humanetics 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?
Yes. MicroLactin? is 90% lactose free.

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 maintaining blood pressure and healthy cholesterol levels. 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

Hear you go, just give me some time to get them all:

Double-blind Controlled Trial on the Effect of Stolle Milk on Recovery after Exercise in Highly Trained Runners
Investigators: George H. Krick, MD, Cedar Medical Center; Dr. Roberta Wilson, Professor of Exercise Physiology, University of Puget Sound; Ms. Karen Wilbur, Study Coordinator, Tacoma, Washington, U.S.A.

The objective of the study was to compare the safety and efficacy of milk powder containing MicroLactin with a commercially obtained (placebo) milk powder as an ergogenic aid to performance enhancement in non-seasonal, highly trained runners.

Methods: Twenty highly trained, non-seasonal, distance runners who had been consistently running for three or more years were recruited to participate in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial. After a 4-week baseline period during which all runners consumed 45 gm of placebo nonfat dry milk reconstituted in water twice daily, runners were randomized into MicroLactin Milk (n=10) and control milk (n=8) groups and followed for a period of six months. Runners were asked to record their performance, recovery times, training satisfaction, and other comments in daily diaries. Muscle Flexibility: Technical Basis June 8, 2000 Page 2 of 2 S ? M ? B ? I Additionally, blood samples were collected for clinical chemistry including creatine kinase (CK), an enzymatic marker of muscle breakdown.

Results

Safety. Both MicroLactin Milk and control milk were well tolerated. No changes in vital signs or clinical chemistry parameters, or differences between treatment and control groups were detected.

Efficacy. After the six month treatment period, 75% of the MicroLactin Milk runners reported overall improvement in training and racing versus 20% of the runners on control milk. "Overall improvement" correlated with improvement in recovery times between training or racing episodes. To test whether improved recovery was real or imaginary, blood samples collected before and after competitive races were analyzed for CK as an index of muscle recovery. Twenty-four hour post race CK activity was decreased significantly over time (p = 0.003) in the SMBI Milk runners but showed no change in control milk runners, demonstrating a steady improvement in muscle recovery throughout the six month study period. These findings provide laboratory verification that Milk containing MicroLactin has the effect of reducing muscle damage and enhancing recovery following strenuous exercise.

Anti-inflammatory activity

We have described and verified that MicroLactin has anti-inflammatory activity (AIF) in addition to its immunological effects. Pharmacologically, AIF inhibits mobilization of neutrophils2, an integral part of the inflammatory response, as evidenced by significant (p < 0.01) suppression of neutrophil accumulation in the Arthus reaction and dose-dependent suppression of neutrophils in subcutaneously implanted sponges.

So what were your experiences with MicroLactin?

I did notice a reduce in DOMS. I'm much much more experienced and in-sync with my body, so I picked up some more of it yesterday here at bb.com from SDirect. I'll definitely type up some sort of review, and let you know how it goes.

I had a major knee reconstruction about 2 years ago, was a 6 hour surgery. Lately it's been really giving me hell, even just walking up stairs. So if this can help alleviate any pain, and even reduce some DOMS I'd be very happy.

Good to finally see the bulk Microlactin on the BB.com store. I've been using NOW's Microlactin caplets for about 6 months as part of a stack to help with some serious shoulder problems. I will definitely look at the bulk product when I run out of my current supply.

To the SD rep,
What type of daily dosage do you guys recommend? I am assuming this is free of any fillers?

[italianplaya30]

To the SD rep,

No there are no fillers! I recommend .0247g per kilogram of body weight as a starting point. You would then double the dose for the loading phase as indicated by the study for the first 10 days. This would result in 0.0494g per kilogram of body weight. You then determine your total training volume per day and times the grams per kilo by the following:

5-10 tons: 0.8
10-15 tons: 0.9
15-20 tons: 1.0
20-25 tons: 1.1
25-30 tons: 1.2
30-40 tons: 1.3

This number is then multiplied by the degree of pain using the following scale:

No pain, Preventative Maintenance: 0.8
Slight Pain in the Morning Only: 0.9
Slight Pain Only during Warm up: 1.0
Pain during Indirect Training: 1.2
Pain during Direct Training: 1.3
Debilitating Pain: 1.5

Hear is how it the math goes

10 Week Loading Period
(Body weight in Kilos X 0.0492g)(Total Training Volume)(Degree of Pain)= Total dosage divided into two servings.

Maintenance Phase
(Body weight in kilos X 0.0247g)(Total Training Volume)(Degree of Pain)= Total dosage divided into two servings.

This takes more time than the usual 4 grams per day for 10 days followed by 2 grams a day, but it tailors the dosage to your personal training volume, weight and pain!

Thanks for the indept answer!

I think the nutritional panel on the BB.com page may be incorrect. 1g of Microlactin has ~0.8g of protein and there should be 250 of these 1g servings.

[eldawg]

Shouldn't each gram of the product have a gram of Microlactin?

So either the serving size should be 2g if there are 125 servings per package or there should be 250 servings per package.

[Serpens Aeon]

FYI: Microlactin is awesome stuff. I experienced a significant reduction in joint pain, while also seemingly improving my recovery from training, all but eliminating DOMS. It's too bad it gives me terrible gas and cramps because it definitely seems to be one of those hidden gems of the industry. I stuck with it for 2.5 weeks until my girlfriend threatened to leave me on account of my foulness.

There are 250 one gram serving sizes. The product will last 125 days if you follow the 2 grams a day dosing procedure done in the study. Thanks for picking that up and clarifying it as it looks like someone messed up. I will forward the information in and hopefully it will be corrected soon!

does it heal tendons?

That is a hard question to answer accuracy. If it is due to inflammation then yes. If it is due to a structural balance then no. Hear is an example: The proximal tendon of the long head biceps is one of the most commonly injured structures of the shoulder joint due to the fact that it rides in a small grove on the front of the shoulder. It's highly susceptible to overuse and inflammation. Some times they even rupture if the degeneration is allowed to proceed or if extreme exercise like flat bench variation of the incline curl is performed. Given the long head of the biceps' interaction with the highly important glenoid labrum, you want to be very careful to avoid irritating this tendon. Microlactin would help hear.

Tendons with a history of trauma don't typically like to be taken to extremes, especially under load like with Incline Curls.

If you have scar tissue look for an Active Release Techniques? (ART)active release guy around your area. Hope this helps
