Low molecular peptides derived from sea buckthorn with excellent absorbency. A health food ingredient with multifunctional properties such as antioxidant effects, blood sugar regulation, improvement of intestinal environment, and anti-tumor effects.
High-purity sea buckthorn low molecular weight peptides are derived from the enzymatic breakdown of proteins from the seeds and pulp of sea buckthorn. This product serves as a plant-based high-functional ingredient, possessing a wide range of health benefits including antioxidant properties, blood sugar regulation, immune function support, improvement of intestinal environment, and anti-tumor effects.
Sea buckthorn is known as a medicinal and food source plant cultivated in northern regions, with its fruits, seeds, leaves, roots, stems, and flowers all utilized in traditional Chinese medicine and health foods. Recent studies have confirmed that the bioactive components found in sea buckthorn, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, carotenoids, polysaccharides, and vitamins C and E, contribute to the removal of free radicals, suppression of lipid peroxidation, and promotion of antioxidant enzyme activity.
Low molecular weight peptides obtained from the enzymatic breakdown of sea buckthorn seed protein exhibit blood sugar regulation and improvement of intestinal flora, demonstrating usefulness in blood sugar management through the inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase activity and the delay of sugar absorption. Furthermore, antibacterial effects have been reported, confirming inhibitory effects against pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
