Lactium, an ingredient that has been clinically shown to relieve stress, promote relaxation and sleep, is now available in a convenient hard candy form.
 
Pharmachem worked with Hillside Candies to develop individually wrapped, organic honey hard-candies that deliver 150 mg of Lactium, a proprietary casein decapeptide, per piece. Lactium organic Honey Drops can be consumed any time during the day or night, without causing drowsiness.
 
According to Mitch Skop, senior director of product development for Pharmachem, “The concept that drove this innovation is the fact that even the thought of enjoying a hard candy exerts a calming effect of its own when consumed, making it a natural delivery form for an ingredient like Lactium. After all, grandma always had hard candies as treats!”
 
“Consumers highly rate relaxation, anxiety-relief and improved sleep without the use of prescriptions; an increasing number of individuals—including teens—feel highly stressed on a regular basis due to heavy life demands,” he explained.”Lactium has a compelling calming effect, clinically studied for stress, anxiety and sleep, as well as burnout.”
 
In a recent study published in the Journal of International Medical Research, a consumer product called Target 1—in a formula featuring Lactium—helped significantly decrease symptoms of burnout. The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial looked at the effects of the formula on participants with burnout syndrome, and followed study subjects’ symptoms of burnout using different evaluation instruments for the 12-week study period. “This study, along with several previous clinical trials on humans validated the anti-stress effects Lactium provides, which also assists in promoting restful sleep without any side effects,” Mr. Skop said.
 
“The drops may also be an effective aid for those seeking to lose weight and stop smoking, situations that exacerbate nervous irritability,” added Mr. Skop.
