VBP-A1 embeds casein tripeptides (IPP/VPP) in a dissolving glassy matrix for clear, taste-neutral delivery in beverages. The mg-dose format is hot-fill/UHT-tolerant and stable.
About
Stealth, heat-stable delivery of bioactive milk tripeptides—amino-acid sequences—supporting healthy blood-pressure function, with no taste or color in beverages.. We have developed a clean-label bioactive ingredient platforms concept for beverages. Our lead, VBP-A1, embeds milk-derived tripeptides (IPP/VPP) in a dissolving glassy matrix for clear, taste-neutral, mg-dose delivery. The format is hot-fill/UHT-tolerant, shelf-stable, and built for plant scale with simple QC gates (turbidity, DO/OTR).
Key Benefits
Invisible in beverage: clear, no flavor or mouthfeel drift; works in still & carbonated bases.
Plant-ready: hot-fill/UHT compatible; long shelf life; PET/can/glass compatible.
Efficient dosing: mg-level use with attractive cost-per-serve.
Clean label: “milk peptides (from fermented casein hydrolysate)”; non-GMO sourcing available; milk allergen clearly disclosed.
Evidence-backed class: human studies exist for the peptide family; substantiation package prepared for structure/function style messaging where permitted.
Versatile formats: RTD beverages and powder sticks; integrates with teas, flavored waters, juice drinks, functional sodas, and daily hydration.
Applications
Target categories: flavored/sparkling waters, brewed & RTD teas, juice drinks, functional sodas, daily hydration, and powder sticks/sachets.
Target consumers: wellness-oriented adults (25–65) seeking simple, everyday functional additions for blood pressure benefit with no taste or color change; retail and corporate-wellness channels.
Markets & launch path: claim-led launches in the US and Japan; claim-neutral positioning in the EU/UK with identical formulation; staged expansion to APAC/LatAm subject to local rules.
Formats: 330–500 mL RTD, 100 mL shots, and 3–5 g powder sticks designed for bottle-mix use.
