Hydrolyzed protein is protein that has been broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids through hydrolysis. This process increases its digestibility and absorption rate compared to intact proteins. It is commonly used in sports nutrition, infant formulas, and medical foods.
Key Information
Inside Body Harmful Score
Common Dosage
20-40g per serving, depending on protein source and individual needs.
Source Type
hybrid
Production Process
Enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis of a protein source (e.g., whey, casein, soy, rice). Enzymes break peptide bonds, resulting in smaller peptides and free amino acids. The degree of hydrolysis is controlled to optimize digestibility and minimize bitterness.
Use Type
Inside BodyPotential Benefits
Hydrolyzed proteins are used to reduce the allergenicity of foods and formulas. By breaking down proteins into smaller fragments, the likelihood of triggering an allergic reaction is decreased.
Possible Side Effects
GSE can trigger allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to grapefruit or other citrus fruits. Symptoms range from mild skin irritation to potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis.
