MBP is a complex of more than 100 basic proteins prepared from bovine milk. It was found that MBP improved the bone metabolism and there are many reports of in vitro studies using osteoblast and osteoclast, animal studies using osteoporosis model and human studies. In human study, oral administration of MBP modulate the balance of bone formation and resorption and improve bone mineral density regardless of age. Research on active component and safety of MBP has been conducted. MBP is used for the variety of commercial foods, such as dairy products, supplements and so on.
