Clinical Studies Reveals That Intake of Bioactive Peptides Reduce the Risk of Developing Cardiovascular Disease

 

Peptides are protein compounds that are produced naturally by living organisms. The human body contains many biologically active peptides with a wide range of biological activity. These peptides are produced from various chemical reactions in the cells of the human body. Bioactive Peptides act on blood vessels, flush toxins from the liver, regulate cholesterol levels, regulate the digestive system, and increase the production of neurotransmitters, hormones, and enzymes. This information is an important first step toward optimizing health with peptide supplements.

Bioactive peptides play a role in the synthesis of amino acids. There are many reported clinical benefits associated with the intake of dietary proteins of various pro-active and non-pro-active forms. Recent studies have revealed that the synthetic version of peptide isomers can be used to treat diet-induced diabetes. The dietary bioactive peptide has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in both mice and rats. It also prevents the breakdown of the alpha-amyloid plaque in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. Clinical studies suggest that the administration of bioactive peptide may help in preventing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, kidney disorders, gall bladder disease, pancreatitis, oral herpes, and even rheumatoid arthritis. In Alzheimer's disease, it seems that amino acids such as L-glutamic, L-arginine, and L-histidine are most effective; however, other bioactive peptide compounds may have positive effects as well.

The growing interest in food processing has led to increased production, processing, and marketing of foods containing bioactive peptides. Much of this growth has come from the recognition that many human diseases, including cancer, have been associated with exposure to toxic or carcinogenic chemicals used in the food processing and handling processes. The introduction of bioactive peptide molecules into the food supply has thus opened up new opportunities for treating many bioflori related diseases.
