Small molecule peptides are easy to absorb, highly active, and highly safe. They are high-quality nutrients that have both nutritional supplementation and physiological regulation functions, and have become the healthy choice of more and more people. However, there are still many questions when supplementing daily. Below we have selected 10 of the most common questions to answer to help you supplement peptides correctly and enjoy health!

1. How should peptides be consumed?

It is recommended to drink peptides with warm water at 50-60℃, and it is best to drink it within 30 minutes. After drinking the peptides, it is recommended to drink one or two cups of warm water to promote the body’s metabolism, so that the small molecule peptides can be absorbed and utilized more quickly.2.

2.When is the best time to take peptides?

Peptides can be supplemented at any time of the day, but supplementing peptides at several key time points can better play its role in physiological regulation.

Drinking peptides on an empty stomach in the morning: It is conducive to the rapid absorption and utilization of peptides, providing nutritional support for the human body and maintaining a good state.

Drinking peptides in the afternoon: Further promote the absorption of lunch nutrients, replenish the energy consumed in the morning for cells, improve energy, and reduce fatigue.

Drinking peptides before bed: Nourishing brain nerve cells helps improve sleep quality. Night is also the most active time for the human immune system. Drinking peptides at this time helps regulate the body’s immune function and enhance physical fitness.

Drinking peptides before and after exercise: Drinking peptides before exercise can help delay sports fatigue, prevent muscle loss, and improve sports performance; drinking peptides within 30 minutes after exercise can help eliminate fatigue, promote muscle growth, and accelerate the recovery process after exercise.

3.Can peptides be taken with other beverages?

Some people may not be accustomed to the taste of peptides. In this case, you can choose to mix peptides with other types of beverages or daily foods, such as milk, coffee, soy milk, juice, soup, honey, etc., but it is best not to drink it with tea and alcohol to avoid affecting the absorption effect of small molecule peptides.

4.Is it useful for patients recovering from surgery to drink peptides?

Peptide supplementation for patients recovering from surgery can provide the nutrients needed for wound healing and tissue repair. It can also effectively reduce the incidence of infection and complications by regulating immune response, enhance the body’s self-healing ability, and accelerate the body’s recovery. However, for patients with chronic nephritis, uremia, and severe liver disease, supplementation should be cautious to avoid excessive protein intake that will increase the burden on organs.

5.Can I drink peptides while taking medication?

You can drink small molecule peptides while taking medication, but it is recommended to take peptides one hour apart. Since small molecule peptides have special physiological activity, they can regulate the body’s metabolic balance and participate in a variety of physiological activities. Therefore, they can reduce the toxic side effects of drugs to a certain extent and have a protective effect on the liver, kidneys, and stomach.

6.How much peptide should I drink every day?

Since small molecule peptides are a safe food-derived nutrient, there is no need to pay special attention to the intake. Ordinary people can supplement according to the amount indicated by the product. If you are a patient with a disease or a postoperative patient, you can increase or decrease the intake appropriately according to your actual situation. It is recommended that the daily intake should not exceed 10 grams.

7.Can children take peptides?

Children can drink peptides. Small molecule peptides can be directly absorbed and utilized by intestinal epithelial cells without digestion and decomposition, quickly replenishing high-quality protein for children’s bodies. Numerous scientific studies have confirmed that small molecule peptides have the effects of promoting physical development, digestive system development, neurobehavioral development, bone development, and immune system development.

8.Can the unfinished peptides be stored first?

After the peptide is dissolved, it should be consumed as soon as possible. It is not recommended to store it for a long time to avoid deterioration. If you cannot finish it, you can gently pat the remaining small molecule peptide liquid on the wrinkles on your face, or make a mask to tighten your skin.

9.Will I have allergic reactions after drinking peptides?

The bioactive peptides for daily supplementation are mainly made from food protein and are produced by biological enzymatic hydrolysis. They have no toxic side effects on the human body. At the same time, since the allergens in the protein are removed during the processing, they will not cause allergic reactions in the human body and are safe and reliable.

10.Will drinking soup cause internal heat?

Drinking peptides will not cause getting a sore throat if you follow the correct dosage and method of supplementation, unless you overdose on them or eat other foods that are prone to getting a sore throat while drinking peptides.

Small molecule peptides are suitable for a wide range of people, whether they are teenagers, middle-aged and elderly people, office workers, or people recovering from surgery, all can benefit from peptide supplementation. If you also have health “pain points” that bother you, then peptides will definitely bring you surprises!
