Benefits

Lactoserum: a gut health super-supplement.

In the context of gut health, some of the most important lactoserum peptides to consider are lactoferrin (Lf), immunoglobulins (Igs), glycomacropeptide (GMP), lactoperoxidase (Lp), and sphingolipids11. These peptides fulfill a complex interconnected range of functions that impacts gut wellness in several ways. Here is a summary of some of the numerous ways in which bioactive peptides support gut health:

Natural antibiotic 

Igs can bind toxins produced by bad gut bacteria and hereby alleviated infection symptoms like diarrhea and dehydration.

Lf hijacks iron from iron-hungry bad gut bacteria while simultaneously providing Lf-found to good bacteria. This causes the population ratios to shift towards a more beneficial gut microbiome11.

Prebiotic

Prebiotics do not contain live microbial strains, but they rather provide a nutrient source to the beneficial microbial strains already present in the gut.

The main carbohydrate in lactoserum is lactose a powerful prebiotic. Furthermore, Lf possesses such prebiotic qualities as well. These compounds support the development of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, both of which are integral strains in maintaining a healthy gut.

Along with several non-carbohydrate components of whey protein, calcium in lactoserum further serves as a powerful prebiotic in the gut12.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action

Many metabolic reactions in the body produce potentially harmful free radicals like reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS are readily disarmed by the body’s antioxidant systems. When there is excessive ROS species present or antioxidant levels become depleted, free radicals can accumulate and cause a state of inflammation that is considered to be the root cause of most illnesses.

Glutathione (GSH) is a powerful ROS-quenching antioxidant that is produced within the body. The amino acid, cysteine, is one of the most prominent rate-limiting precursors to the production of GSH and is abundantly available among lactoserum protein constituents. It has been shown that treatment with hydrolyzed whey peptides could increase GSH levels by more than 60%, thereby dramatically increasing antioxidant activity13.

Given the availability of these and many other potent antioxidants in lactoserum, it can be utilised as an effective anti-inflammatory that can promote gut health and prevent downstream diseases naturally.

Immune-support

Igs, Lp, and Lf all contribute to elevating immunity. This is partially achieved by shifting the microbiome profile to promote the growth of beneficial microbes through the targeted natural antibacterial activity of Lp and Lf, while Igs simultaneously bind toxins produced by gut bacteria11.

From the initial stages of the cheese-making process, Wagawhey ensures the integrity and stability of the renneting process to enhance the bioavailability of the enzymes in the lactoserum. Through this unique addition, the beneficial compounds are more readily absorbed by your dog’s digestive tract.

The natural hydrolysis of the original whey protein is followed by dehydration for ease of use as a powder. The addition of clean, cool water activates the anti-inflammatory, prebiotic, and immune support superpowers of lactoserum for your dogs.

The verdict.

At the core of holistic health lies a balanced gut and skin microbiome in dogs. Diet, genetic predisposition, and various health interventions can worsen gut dysbiosis which may lead to a wide range of ailments. Some of these ailments include persistent, pruritic skin conditions.

Lactoserum, commonly known as whey, naturally contains a range of bioactive peptides and enzymes that can dramatically improve the gut and skin microbiome of dogs suffering from a wide range of diseases, including atopic dermatitis.
