The invention relates to a method of preparing a whey-derived composition enriched in whey phospholipids and osteopontin (OPN) by membrane filtration, and preferably also enriched in other membrane components from whey. The invention furthermore relates to the whey-derived composition as such, use of the whey-derived composition for increasing the content of OPN in nutritional products, and to nutritional products comprising the whey-derived composition.
