This natural, dairy-derived protein has a calming effect on the nervous system.At a dose of 150 mg per day, it has been shown to reduce the effects of stress such as mood swings and tension. The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported a double-blind, randomized, crossover, placebocontrolled trial involving this protein derivative. It included 63 female volunteers who suffered from at least one disorder related to stress such as anxiety, sleep problems, and general fatigue. Those who took alpha-casein hydrolysate for 30 days had decreased stress-related symptoms.
