Osteoblast milk protein

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A pack of Mengniu Milk Deluxe contains OMP, sold for about twice the price of standard milk.[1]

Osteoblast milk protein (OMP,

bone growth in the osteoblasts and prevent osteoporosis.[3]

In February 2009, the safety of OMP was questioned by the

Ministry of Health stated that OMP is "not harmful to human health",[6] but the ban on its use stayed in place because the importer had not submitted the necessary paperwork.[2][7]

The raw ingredients for OMP were imported from the

Snow Brand Milk Products Company. A director of the Guangdong Dairy Industry Association said that OMP is seldom used in milk products overseas and no conclusion about the impact of OMP on human health has been proven globally. The association may contest any official declaration from the Ministry of Health that OMP is safe.[7]

According to Mengniu and the Ministry of Health, OMP is made from milk by degreasing by

skimming and membrane filtration and its major components are lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase.[1][9]
