Overview

Gastroresistant peptides are a type of peptide that are resistant to the processes that occur in the digestive system. As such, they are able to bypass digestion and make it to the bloodstream relatively intact. This makes them suitable for use in medications, as they can be ingested and still retain their pharmacological properties. Their efficacy and stability also makes them attractive for medical treatments, such as providing sustained release of drugs over time. These peptides have potential applications in the food industry, as they can be used as ingredients in nutritional supplements as well as enhancers in food products.
