Bamlet Fun Facts

  • Initially discovered in 1995. At that time, unfolded milk proteins were thought to kill cancer.
  • Three types of protein can be used – HAMLET, BAMLET and BAGLET.
  • HAMLET – human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal against tumor cells. Naturally attaches six oleic acid molecules per protein.
  • BAMLET – bovine alpha-lactalbumin made lethal against tumor cells. Naturally attaches four oleic acid molecules per protein. Depending on the manufacturing process, up to 31 oleic acid molecules can be attached. alpha-lactalbumin comprises 14-17% of whey protein.
  • BAGLET – bovine beta-lactoglobulin made lethal against tumor cells. Naturally attaches six oleic acid molecules per protein. Beta-lactoglobulin comprises 54-58% of whey protein.
  • Bamlet acts as a Trojan Horse. The cancer eats the protein and delivers the cytotoxic oleic acid into the cancer lysosomes causing cell apoptosis.
  • Oleic acid is the cytotoxic component.
  • BAMLET is toxic to cancer cells, yet not-toxic to normal cells.
  • Bamlet acts similar to chemo drug nab-Paclitaxel – utilizes the natural properties of albumin to reversibly bind paclitaxel, transport it across the endothelial cell and concentrate it in areas of tumor.
  • Mice genetically bred to die of cancer live normal lifespans when fed a daily diet of BAMLET.
  • BAMLET targets Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs). CSCs love sugars and proteins.
  • BAMLET has been shown to be more effective than some chemotherapeutic drugs.
  • HAMLET naturally occurs in breast milk.
  • The stomach has the right PH and temperature to make BAMLET from whey protein and olive oil.
  • BAMLET derivatives made with custom proteins that add many oleic acid molecules are currently in Clinical Trials.
  • BAMLET can be made into salad dressings and soft cheeses.
  • BAMLET and unfolded a-lactalbumin have anti-bacterial properties. Notably against Gram Positive bacteria.
  • Just added! Similar to a-LA, lactoferrin (LF) efficiently binds OA and forms an LF–OA complex with 10 times more potent anticancer activity than a-LA–OA. We need more research on this!
  • Lactoferrin binds more oleic acid than α-lactalbumin.
