The efficacy and role of small molecule peptides

What are the effects and functions of small molecule peptides? Small molecule peptides are composed of multiple amino acids. Many proteins cannot be absorbed directly, so small molecule peptides are needed to be better absorbed. Small molecule peptides have many functions and effects. For example, they can help build muscle for patients who often suffer from muscle pain. At the same time, they are also more suitable for patients with low immunity and have a good effect.

Protein is one of the eight essential nutrients for the human body

Protein is so important, but the amount of protein we absorb from the food we eat every day is seriously insufficient. Modern science has found that in addition to diet, people must supplement 10 grams of protein every day to ensure the body's metabolism and physiological activities. Therefore, in order to stay healthy, the human body must supplement adequate protein. It is currently recognized worldwide that protein supplementation is best done in the form of small molecule protein peptides.

Generally speaking, from the perspective of the digestive tract, peptides are digested and absorbed better and faster than proteins and free amino acids in the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, peptides stay in the stomach and intestines for a shorter time than proteins, and the frequency of gastric ptosis and abdominal fullness is low. This is even more true for the reduced absorption area of ​​the small intestine and impaired digestive function.

In the physiological process of the human body, renin (an enzyme) released by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney enters the blood. When passing through the pulmonary circulation, an az globulin (angiotensin) in the plasma is acted upon by the converting enzyme and converted into angiotensin II, which can directly enhance myocardial contractility, increase heart rate, and can also directly act on vascular smooth muscle. From a nutritional and therapeutic point of view, enzyme inhibitors in this process are key points, and angiotensin inhibitors are found among the enzymatic products of many proteins.

Ovalbumin (eggs from various birds), soy protein, rice protein, wheat protein, corn protein, sorghum protein, and millet protein, which are human food proteins, can also produce immunoactive peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis with appropriate enzymes and reasonable enzyme formulas. In addition to the phagocytic ability of macrophages, some peptides can also inhibit the growth of tumor cells.
