Rice peptides are small molecule active peptides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of rice protein, which have high absorption rate, low allergenicity, and various physiological regulatory functions. Here are its main health benefits:
- Rapid absorption and efficient protein supplementation
No need for digestion: Small molecule peptides (<1000Da) can be directly absorbed by the intestine, suitable for people with weak digestive function (such as postoperative patients, elderly people, infants and young children).
High bioavailability: The absorption rate is faster than that of intact protein, and it can enter the bloodstream within 30 minutes, making it suitable for rapid replenishment after exercise. - Low allergenicity, suitable for sensitive populations
Lactose free and gluten free: suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or gluten allergy.
Extremely low allergy risk: Compared to milk protein (such as whey protein) and soy protein, rice peptides hardly cause allergic reactions and can be used in special infant formula milk powder. - Promote muscle synthesis and recovery
Rich in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs): Leucine, isoleucine, and valine can stimulate muscle protein synthesis and reduce muscle damage after exercise.
Gentler than whey protein: suitable for fitness enthusiasts who are intolerant to whey protein. - Assist in lowering blood pressure (ACE inhibitory activity)
Containing natural antihypertensive peptides such as Leu Arg Pro and Tyr Pro, which can inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and help regulate blood pressure.
Research support: Some clinical trials have shown that daily intake of 300-500mg of rice peptides can mildly reduce systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. - Antioxidant and anti-aging effects
Free radical scavenging: Contains antioxidant peptides such as tyrosine proline (Tyr Pro) to reduce oxidative stress.
Protecting cells: can increase the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), and enhance the body’s antioxidant capacity. - Regulate immunity and enhance resistance
Activation of macrophages: Some immune regulatory peptides (such as Gln Pro Gly) can enhance immune cell activity.
Anti inflammatory potential: may reduce chronic inflammation by regulating the NF – κ B signaling pathway. - Protect the liver and assist in sobering up
Promoting alcohol metabolism: Some peptide segments can enhance the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and accelerate alcohol breakdown.
Reduce liver damage: Animal experiments have shown that rice peptides can reduce the elevation of liver enzymes (ALT/AST) caused by alcohol. - Improve intestinal health
Easy to absorb and reduce intestinal burden: suitable for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Regulating gut microbiota: may promote the growth of probiotics (such as bifidobacteria) and inhibit harmful bacteria. - Beauty anti-aging, promoting skin health
Stimulating collagen synthesis: Small peptides can promote fibroblast proliferation and reduce wrinkles.
Moisturizing and antioxidant: Used for oral beauty products or external skincare products to improve skin elasticity.
For the crowd
Fitness enthusiasts – quickly supplement protein to promote muscle repair
Hypertensive patients – assisted regulation of blood pressure (requires medication)
Allergic individuals – safe sources of protein (alternative to milk and soy protein)
Middle aged and elderly people – prevent muscle loss and enhance immunity
Patients with poor liver function – auxiliary liver protection and hangover relief
Beauty and anti-aging seekers – oral or topical improvement of skin condition
How to supplement rice peptides?
Protein powder: Rice peptides alone or in combination with other plant proteins (such as pea protein).
Functional beverage: a sports drink with added antihypertensive or antioxidant peptides.
Special medical food: used for hypoallergenic infant formula and postoperative nutritional preparations.
Beauty products: collagen peptide drink, anti-aging skincare products.
precautions
Individuals with renal insufficiency: It is necessary to control the total protein intake to avoid exacerbating the burden on the kidneys.
Bitterness issue: Deeply hydrolyzed peptides may be bitter, and a de bittering process product can be chosen.
Suggested pairing: Taking it together with vitamin C can enhance antioxidant effects.
