The invention relates to bone health compositions comprising an acidic protein fraction of milk, to a method of producing said bone health composition, to methods of treatment comprising said bone health compositions and to medicinal uses of said bone health compositions. One broad aspect of the invention provides a bone health composition comprising an acidic protein fraction derived from milk, from a component of milk, from whey, from hydrolysates thereof, or from a combination thereof, or from a combination thereof wherein the composition does not comprise caseinoglycomacropeptide (CGMP). Another broad aspect provides a method of manufacturing the composition of the invention using anion exchange chromatography.
