Mung bean protein peptide is a small molecule peptide made from mung bean protein through enzymatic hydrolysis and other processes. It combines the natural nutrition of mung beans with the advantages of easy peptide absorption. Its benefits are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1、 Efficient absorption, supplementing high-quality nutrients
Small molecule characteristics: The molecular weight is mainly distributed between 130-750 daltons, which can be directly absorbed by the intestine without digestion. The absorption efficiency is 30% -50% higher than ordinary protein, suitable for people with weak digestive function (such as the elderly and children) to quickly supplement nutrition.
Amino acid balance: It contains 18 types of amino acids, among which essential amino acids (such as lysine and leucine) are abundant and have a composition close to the human body’s needs, providing the basic raw materials for building muscles and cells.
2、 Enhance immunity and resist diseases
Promoting immune cell activity: Peptides can stimulate the proliferation of T lymphocytes and macrophages, enhance antibody synthesis ability, strengthen the body’s resistance to viruses and bacteria, and reduce the occurrence of diseases such as colds and inflammation.
Antioxidant defense: Green bean peptides contain natural antioxidant components (such as polyphenols and flavonoids), which can eliminate free radicals (such as superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals) in the body, reduce oxidative stress damage to immune cells, and delay immune aging.
3、 Regulating metabolism and safeguarding multi system health
(1)Blood glucose and lipid management
Delaying the rise of blood sugar: Peptides can promote insulin secretion, improve cell utilization of glucose, and the polysaccharide components in mung beans can inhibit starch hydrolysis, assisting in stabilizing postprandial blood sugar, suitable for people with impaired glucose tolerance.
Lowering cholesterol: Contains fava bean protease inhibitors, which can inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, reduce the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) in the blood, and lower the risk of arteriosclerosis and fatty liver.
(2)Cardiovascular protection
Vasodilation: Some peptide segments have angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity, which can inhibit vascular constriction, reduce peripheral vascular resistance, assist in regulating blood pressure, and are suitable for individuals with prehypertension.
Antiplatelet aggregation: Antioxidants can reduce endothelial damage, decrease platelet adhesion, and prevent thrombosis.
(3)Liver and kidney care
Reducing liver burden: Small molecule peptides do not require liver involvement in digestion and can directly provide nutrients to liver cells, promoting liver damage repair. At the same time, flavonoids in mung beans can enhance liver detoxification function (such as combating alcohol and drug toxicity).
Protecting renal function: The low free amino acid properties reduce the metabolic burden on the kidneys, making it a suitable source of protein supplementation for individuals with renal insufficiency.
4、 Promote intestinal and skin health
(1)Regulation of intestinal microbiota
Improving digestion and absorption: High water solubility creates a lubricating environment for peptides in the intestine, promotes peristalsis, and reduces constipation; At the same time, as a prebiotic substrate, it can proliferate beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, and inhibit the overgrowth of harmful bacteria.
Repairing intestinal mucosa: Peptides can be directly absorbed by intestinal epithelial cells, providing energy and raw materials for mucosal repair, and alleviating intestinal inflammation such as enteritis and ulcerative colitis.
(2)Skin anti-aging and moisturizing
Antioxidant and anti wrinkle: Clearing free radicals in skin cells, reducing collagen degradation, and delaying the formation of wrinkles and pigmentation; Flavonoids can inhibit tyrosinase activity and assist in whitening.
Moisturizing and Water Locking: The hydrophilic groups (such as amino and carboxyl groups) in the peptide chain can bind to moisture, increase the moisture content of the skin’s stratum corneum, improve dryness and roughness, and are suitable for caring for sensitive or aging skin.
5、 Other functional advantages
Anti fatigue and exercise recovery: Branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine) have a high proportion, which can directly supply energy to muscles, reduce protein breakdown during exercise, accelerate lactate metabolism, and alleviate post exercise fatigue.
Detoxification auxiliary effect: Tannic acid and flavonoids in mung beans can combine with heavy metals such as lead and mercury, as well as pesticides, to form precipitates, reducing their intestinal absorption toxicity. The small molecule properties of peptides may enhance this binding efficiency.
Applicable population and precautions
Suitable for: immunocompromised individuals, individuals with high immunity, those with poor digestive function, fitness enthusiasts, and those in need of antioxidant beauty treatments.
Attention: Natural sources of mung bean peptides have high safety, but caution should be taken for those who are allergic to legumes; As a health supplement, it is recommended to choose products with high purity (free amino acids<5%), clear molecular weight distribution, and balanced diet to achieve their effects. Green bean protein peptides, with their natural, easily absorbable, and multifunctional characteristics, have broad application prospects in fields such as nutritional supplementation, chronic disease prevention, and functional food development. Their specific effects still need to be comprehensively evaluated based on individual physical fitness and product processes.
