DSMs TensVida Wins Nutracon Award

BASEL, Switzerland—DSM Nutritional Products’ blood-pressure- management ingredient, tensVida (formerly known as TensGuard™), won the NutrAward for the most innovative, evidence-based health and nutrition ingredient at Nutracon 2009.

TensVida is a milk-derived tripeptide that helps to maintain healthy blood pressure. Tripeptides occur naturally in dairy products such as aged cheese and cultured milk. Scientific studies show that milk-derived tripeptides with the bioactive amino acid sequence IPP (isoleucine-proline-proline) can maintain healthy blood pressure in people who have blood pressure within the normal range.
