Milk Fat Globule Membrane
Our Vivinal® Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM) is a whey protein concentrate that’s rich in MFGM components, which are obtained during the mild processing of pasteurized cheese whey. Vivinal® MFGM contains bioactive proteins and lipids like IgG and lactoferrin, phospholipids and gangliosides. MFGM can be added to infant milk formula to potentially support infant cognitive development 35Li, F., Wu, S. S., Berseth, C. L., Harris, C. L., Richards, J. D., Wampler, J.
