as insufficient sleep is on the rise

alpha-lactalbumin may be a useful supplement to utilize as studies found to be helpful in the onset of sleep w/ NO negative associations

but it may be useful for mood regulation and cancer too...

We've discussed all of these uses, and haven't even addressed it's use for sleep.... my bad.

Studies revealed that 20g of ⍺-lactalbumin before bed improved sleep significantly!

⬆️Total sleep time: +12.8%
⬆️Sleep efficiency: +7.0%,

⬇️Sleep latency: -51%
⬇️Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO): -20.8%
⬇️Waking episodes: -2.1%

It also fights cancer...

Alpha H-1, a derived form of alpha-lactalbumin has been utilized by HAMLET Pharma, and was just approved for FDA use last year.

HAMLET stands for, "human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells" and helps by triggering "apoptosis" or programmed cell death in cancer tumors.

What can't this do....

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day."

—From the memoirs of William Miller, an editor, quoted in Life magazine, May 2, 1955; Expanded, p. 281
