Milk protein concentrate

Studies in people

• Open question

  Weight loss in obese women²

  Scientists do not yet know whether milk protein concentrate helps obese women lose weight or improve health on a diet.

How it’s made and used

• Bar hardening over time³

  Milk protein concentrate can make high-protein bars go crumbly and hard during storage, though extruded versions held up better.

The signal at the top counts the findings in people and in animal and lab studies. A concern in studies of people outranks animal and lab studies, and “No concerns” needs at least one finding in people. When most findings in people point one way, the page leans that way (“Mostly”), and every finding is still shown. Findings whose study type is not stated are shown but not counted. This page is a reference, not medical advice. It describes what regulators and published research say. Talk to a doctor or dietitian about your own diet.
