Peptides have a history of over a century, and after more than a century of research by scientists, some have been discovered, identified, and developed.

However, faced with the increasing number of peptide products, many people don’t understand what peptides are, or how the body absorbs them effectively. Today, we’ll provide some basic information.

Scientific experiments have proven that the absorption mechanism of peptides has ten major characteristics:

1. Peptides do not require digestion and are absorbed directly.

Previous scientific research suggested that proteins are primarily absorbed in the form of amino acids after being enzymatically hydrolyzed in the digestive tract. However, recent scientific research indicates that the main form of protein absorption in the human body is not amino acids, but rather peptides, especially dipeptides and tripeptides, with an absorption rate 2-2.5 times higher. This represents a significant breakthrough in the study of the mechanisms by which the human body absorbs proteins.

2. Peptides are absorbed rapidly; oral absorption is comparable to intravenous injection.

Exogenous peptides, when taken orally, enter the human body at a speed like a rocket. Some scientists call them “biological missiles.” They quickly pass through the mouth and stomach, directly enter the small intestine, are absorbed by the small intestine, and finally enter the human circulatory system, organs, and cell tissues to rapidly exert their physiological and biological effects.

3. Peptides are absorbed in their intact form.

Peptides are not damaged or subjected to secondary hydrolysis by human proteases or acidic or alkaline substances in the digestive system.

4. The absorption and utilization rate of peptides can reach almost 100%.

After peptides are absorbed, there are no rejection substances; they are completely absorbed and utilized by the human body.

5. Peptides have the characteristic of being actively absorbed by the human body.

6. Peptide absorption does not require the body to consume energy.

Peptides have significant health benefits for those who cannot absorb nutrients due to digestive system defects, disorders, or damage; for athletes who urgently need to supplement nitrogen but cannot increase the burden on their gastrointestinal function; and for those with poor digestion, nutritional deficiencies, physical weakness, or frequent illnesses.

7. Peptides are preferentially absorbed by the human body.

Peptides have small molecular weights, requiring less energy to absorb, and are preferentially absorbed by the body. They also protect amino acids from damage, promoting their absorption.

8. Peptides exhibit carrier functions in the human body.

Peptides can adsorb, adhere to, and load the nutrients that people usually eat, especially beneficial trace elements such as calcium, onto their own bodies.

9. Peptides can act as transport vehicles in the human body.

Peptides can adsorb various nutrients that people usually eat onto their own bodies, and then transport them to various cells, organs and tissues in the human body, where they are absorbed and utilized by the body along with the main body, and play their respective functions.

10. After being absorbed by the human body, peptides act as messengers.

Peptides act as neurotransmitters to transmit information, enabling various systems, organs, and tissues in the human body to perform their individual and overall functions.

Proteins are essential for the human body, serving as necessary substances for maintaining all our normal functions. Peptides are fundamental building blocks for protein synthesis and participate in almost all bodily activities, making their importance self-evident.
