According to scientific databases, thousands of different bioactive peptides (BAPs) have been identified, confirming their diverse and widespread biological functions. But what do bioactive peptides do, exactly, to support human health, and how are these potent molecules released from the foods we eat?

Bioactive peptides derived from milk proteins are fragments that can exert powerful physiological effects on the human body. Inactive within the native protein, these peptides are released through enzymatic hydrolysis during digestion, fermentation, or food processing to regulate numerous bodily functions, including the cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems. Milk peptides are increasingly incorporated into functional foods and nutraceuticals to harness these health-promoting properties.
