Oligopeptides are absorbed more efficiently than intact proteins, leading to faster amino acid delivery and improved muscle protein synthesis and recovery. This is due to their smaller size and specialized transport mechanisms.
Oligopeptides, smaller protein fragments, are hypothesized to be absorbed more efficiently than intact proteins due to bypassing extensive digestion and utilizing specific transport mechanisms in the small intestine. This enhanced absorption leads to a faster influx of amino acids into the bloodstream, potentially resulting in improved muscle protein synthesis, reduced muscle breakdown, and faster recovery after exercise or injury.
Ingredients That Provide This Benefit
Protein Hydrolysate (containing oligopeptides)
Protein hydrolysates are proteins that have been broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids t...
