About
Short peptide sequences derived from food proteins (casein, whey, soy, collagen, egg, fish) by hydrolysis. Specific peptide sequences have ACE-inhibitor, opioid, antioxidant, or immunomodulatory activity.
How it works (mechanism of action)
Acts on cellular signalling pathways relevant to the documented clinical indications. Contains bioactive compounds with enzyme-modulating, receptor-binding, or antioxidant properties studied in peer-reviewed literature.
👥 Safety by Population
🚫 Contraindications & Warnings
Source protein allergen consideration (dairy, soy, egg, fish). Opioid peptides (casomorphins): some concern in autism/ADHD literature — mixed evidence. ACE-inhibitor peptides: additive blood pressure lowering with antihypertensive drugs. Generally well tolerated.
