Tag: Dairy peptides

Recent scientific studies show that the lactic acid bacteria used in yogurt fermentation can degrade bioactive peptides. This raises the critical question for many consumers: does yogurt have casomorphins, and if so, how does fermentation affect their presence?

According to a systematic review published in *Frontiers in Nutrition*, peptides are found in a diverse range of foods, including meat, dairy, eggs, fish, legumes, and cereals. These short chains of amino acids, known as bioactive peptides, are inactive within a parent protein until released during digestion or food processing. Getting these beneficial compounds from your diet is a straightforward way to support various bodily functions.
