Peptide-based ingredients - The rise of scientifically supported solutions
The growing impact of peptides
Peptides, noun - short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
Peptides are emerging as a cornerstone in functional nutrition, driven by their targeted physiological effects and an increased consumer demand for scientifically validated solutions. The global bioactive peptides market is projected to reach $6.2 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 9.2%. Source: MarketsandMarkets.
Fytexia & ABbiotek Health bring DNF-10, SAC-1, and MBP to the forefront of the peptide trend, addressing weight management, sleep & mental fatigue, and bone health with strong scientific dossiers.
DNF-10 - leading peptide-based ingredient for appetite control
DNF-10 is a hydrolysate fraction derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae active on the gut-brain mediators of satiety (ghrelin & leptin), and clinically proven to:
- Lower calorie intake significantly after the first weeks
- Reduce body fat mass significantly after the first months
- Be effective at 500 mg/day
Peptide-based approach - unlike common thermogenic or fiber-based appetite suppressants, DNF-10 works at the hormonal level, supporting natural appetite regulation. In silico studies showed that peptides released by the digestion of DNF-10 may increase feelings of satiety by inhibiting DPP-IV, thereby prolonging the effect of the satiety-inducing hormone GLP-1.
SAC-1 - cognitive peptide for sleep & mental fatigue
SAC-1 is a fermented garlic extract rich in sulfur derived compound from the amino acid cystein, working on the regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system to trigger the body's rest. SAC-1 is proven to:
- Improve the quality of sleep
- Contribute to reduce mental & physical fatigue
- Be effective at 200 mg/day
SAC-1 is obtained from the patented Saclation® process and supported by 4 clinical studies.
MBP - whey fraction for bone health
MBP is composed of a whey fraction from skimmed cow milk, impacting bone homeaostasis by regulating bone resorption and improving bone formation process. MBP is clinically proven to:
- Strenghen bone metabolism
- Improve the bone mineral density of women of all ages
- Be effective at 40 mg/day
Peptide-based bone support - research conducted on MBP demonstrated that its effects are independent from calcium and vitamin D intakes. MBP actively enhances bone cell activity to support stronger, healthier bones, while also targeting active aging and women's health.
