Calpis' AmealPeptide lowers blood pressure in 2 placebo-controlled trials
Date:5/16/2008

New Orleans, LA, May 16 Two new clinical trials presented by Calpis Co., Ltd. at the American Society of Hypertension (ASH) Twenty-Third Annual Scientific Meeting and Exposition (ASH 2008) in New Orleans show that the milk-derived dietary supplement AmealPeptide reduces blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The studies, called AHEAD (Achieve Hypertension Efficacy with AmealPeptide Dietary Supplement ) II, and the PROBE (A Prospective, Two-phase Randomized, Open-Label, Blinded End-Point) Dose Response Study confirmed the safety and efficacy of AmealPeptide for patients with Stage I and Stage II hypertension.

The AHEAD II study found that the milk-based product produced a mean drop in daytime, ambulatory systolic blood pressure of 3.6 mmHg for the active group after 6 weeks of treatment. The change was both statistically and clinically significant. According to JNC 7 (The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure), just a 2 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure results in a 6% reduction in mortality due to stroke and a 4% reduction in mortality due to coronary heart disease (CHD).

Results of the PROBE study showed AmealPeptide to have a dose dependent blood pressure lowering trend and a reduction of daytime ambulatory blood pressure of 7.6 mmHg ( 8.7) in the 75 mg a day group and also a significant reduction in 24-hr systolic blood pressure in the same group of 6.2 mmHg ( 8.4) from the baseline after 8 weeks of treatment. A lower dose of 5 mg a day of AmealPeptide also showed blood pressure lowering effect.

Its very exciting to see blood pressure reductions achieved by the food derived substance, AmealPeptide stated Joel Neutel, MD, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine and a specialist in clinical hypertension of the American Society of Hypertension. With hypertension and prehypertension on the rise,
