Molkosan® is prepared from lactofermented whey from which proteins have been
removed. Because of its high content in natural lactic acid, Molkosan® has an
acid pH.
Concentrated lactofermented whey.
Dosage
INTERNAL USE:
Adults: mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) in a glass of water, juice or herb tea. If
necessary, start with one teaspoon (5 ml) and increase gradually. Take 3 times daily,
as needed.
EXTERNAL USE:
(see Actions and Pharmacology bellow)
Historical overview
Whey was used as far back as Ancient
Greece. Already at that time, it was prescribed to improve digestion, purify blood,
protect against poisoning, prevent liver disorders, obesity and arthritis, and for skin
problems.
Similar to spas, whey cure establishments flourished up until the 19th Century.

Molkosan® is a unique A. Vogel
product. It is a fresh whey concentrate prepared according to a special lactofermentation
process: Molkosan® is derived from whey, the bluish liquid oozing from
curdling milk when proteins agglomerate to make cheese. Lactic ferments, added to the
whey, transform lactose into lactic acid. Once fermentation is completed, additional L(+)
lactic acid is added and the remaining proteins are removed. This liquid is then vacuum
concentrated and pasteurized.
Actions and pharmacology
Molkosan® is very rich in
minerals (calcium, potassium, phosphorus, etc.) and has an acid pH. It contains lactic
acid in its levogyral or physiologic form: L(+)-lactic acid. Lactic acid is a natural
antiseptic and a keratolytic agent (it helps to remove dead skin and cells from the
epidermis).
Molkosan® has several health
beneficial effects:
Internally, it promotes the growth of good bacteria in the intestine, thus acting as a
prebiotic and a normalizer of the intestinal function. It is therefore useful against
flatulence, absorption disorders and constipation, and to restore the intestinal flora
after an antibiotic treatment.
Molkosan® stimulates the stomach by restoring its natural acid pH. It is thus
useful against both hypochlorhydria (low acidity) and hyperacidity, and for heartburn and
gastritis.
Molkosan® normalizes the
metabolism; it is used as an invaluable adjuvant for all kinds of metabolic disorders:
cholesterol, insulin resistance, arthritis, rheumatism, etc.
Externally, Molkosan® is
useful to cleanse small wounds and abrasions (diluted 1:4 in water), to relieve insect
bites (undiluted), against athletes foot (soak a cotton swab and leave overnight),
as a tonic and exfoliating lotion for the face and against eczema and other skin problems
(on a wet cotton swab). Molkosan® can also be used as a rinsing solution for
the hair and body (diluted 1:10 in water).
Scientific studies
No clinical study has been published on Molkosan® or whey extracts.
Precautions, contraindications and interactions
As Molkosan® does not contain proteins, it
should not be allergenic. Molkosan® contains a very low proportion of lactose
(5 mg per 100 ml) present in its natural form, neither isolated nor refined. For
this reason, Molkosan® should not cause GI problems in people with lactose
intolerance. However, people allergic to dairy products or with lactose intolerance should
use Molkosan® with caution.
