THE POWER OF PEPTIDES

The intestinal epithelial cells form tight links (known as tight junctions) between the cells that help maintain the barrier function and prevent potentially harmful substances from entering the body from the environment. If the tight junctions become damaged (e.g., due to infection or inflammation), the intestinal barrier function can be compromised, leading to gastrointestinal problems and potentially other health issues. The increased digestibility and absorption of dietary peptides provides an ideal supply of amino acid building blocks, which support the renewal of intestinal epithelial cells and aid in maintaining an effective barrier function. Collagen peptides have been shown to protect against inflammation-induced barrier dysfunction by inhibiting the breakdown of tight junction proteins.
