Amino Acid Bioavailability

Milk proteins are made up of high-quality amino acids and milk is one of a few foods that contains all 20 amino acids and is considered a source of ‘complete protein’. Milk protein is also rich in essential amino acids such as leucine, lysine and phenylalanine – amino acids which we must get from our diet and cannot be synthesised by our body. Therefore, consumption and absorption of these nutrients is essential - to life!

Milk proteins become more digestible through Haelen®. This means once consumed, the proteins are more comprehensively broken down to amino-acids, which are then more readily available for absorption by the body.
