CerviPep™ Nutritional Highlights

Research from New Zealand studies reveals functional benefits of CerviPep™ as a High-Value Nutrition product, for support across a variety of health categories and formats.

Proteins and Peptides

CerviPep™ contains more protein than cow, goat, or sheep milk, and its primary casein protein is the A2 type — but it’s not just about quantity.

  • It’s a rich source of bioavailable casein and whey proteins, including powerful bioactive peptides like PRPs (Proline-Rich Polypeptides) and alpha-lactalbumin.
  • These compounds act as messengers in the body, helping to regulate immune response, muscle recovery, gut integrity, and calming & sleep cognitive pathways.
  • CerviPep™ also contains the iron-binding protein lactoferrin at high levels, a well-known bioactive milk protein with antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-supporting properties.

This unique composition positions CerviPep™ as premium source of functional bioactive protein for supporting human health.

Amino Acids and Bioactives

CerviPep™ delivers a rich profile of essential and functional amino acids, including isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan.

  • These amino acids support a wide range of physiological functions as building blocks your body needs, from muscle/tissue growth and maintenance to hormonal balance and neurological health.
  • Combined with naturally occurring bioactive compounds like gangliosides and sialic acid (nutrients also found in human milk), CerviPep™ can play an important role in supporting immune modulation, brain development, and overall metabolic health.

Fats and Lipids

CerviPep™ is naturally high in beneficial fats, including:

  • Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM), phospholipids, omega-3 fatty acids, and sphingomyelin — all known for their roles in supporting gut health, nutrient absorption, heart health, anti-inflammatory responses and skin barrier repair.
  • These bioactive milk lipids offer nutritional support across the gut–brain–skin axis, delivering benefits from the inside out.
  • The higher fat content in CerviPep™ also contributes to richer nutrients & energy density per serving – a useful option for people needing more high-calorie nutrition.

Vitamins and Minerals

  • With more calcium than cow’s milk and higher levels of magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins, CerviPep™ naturally supports bone health, mobility, energy metabolism, skin integrity, wound healing, stress balance, and overall vitality.
  • High mineral bioavailability makes CerviPep™ an ideal functional ingredient for sustained wellness support, particularly in areas such as active ageing, immune resilience and restful sleep.







Comparison to other Milks

Our research partners at Callaghan Innovation NZ compared the nutrient profiles of major ruminant milks. The results showed that Red Deer Milk provides higher levels of total protein and bioactive casein, highlighting its value as a premium high-value nutrition ingredient.
