Brief Summary
Casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP) has anti-inflammatory properties in experimental rodent colitis and using human in vitro inflammation models. Its use as a food ingredient has proven safe and with no influence on dietary intake. We hypothesize that orally administered CGMP has a beneficial effect comparable to that of mesalazine in active distal ulcerative colitis.
