What is bitter melon peptide?

Bitter melon peptide is a small molecule protein extracted from bitter melon, and its scientific name is Bitter Melon Peptide. Compared with general proteins, bitter melon peptide molecules are smaller and easier to be absorbed by the human body. Some peptides have been successfully sequenced and patented. Choosing patented products can ensure their quality and effect.

What are the nutritional components of bitter melon peptide?

Bitter melon peptide is composed of 68 amino acids, of which amino acids 50 to 68 have been experimentally confirmed to not be destroyed by gastric acid and digestive enzymes, and can reduce blood sugar by about 30%. These peptides are called "plant insulin", which can increase the sensitivity of insulin receptors, improve insulin resistance, promote glucose into cells, and increase the energy required for normal cell function.

Bitter melon peptides can regulate blood sugar metabolism through the mechanism of plant insulin, maintain insulin balance in the body, and help stabilize fasting blood sugar and postprandial blood sugar. Studies have shown that blood sugar can be reduced by 53% two hours after a meal, and glycated hemoglobin can be reduced by 34%. 2. Lower body fat Research on the whole bitter melon shows that it can reduce triglycerides, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein, thereby reducing body fat production. Body fat can be reduced by 25% in one month, 28% in two months, total cholesterol by 36%, and triglycerides by 39%. 3. **Antioxidant**

Bitter melon peptide contains galactose, glucose and arabinose, which have strong antioxidant effects and can protect cells from damage. Studies have shown that the scavenging rate of hydroxyl free radicals of purified bitter melon polysaccharide at 20 mg/mL can reach 82%.

Effects of compound combination of bitter melon peptide

1. **Chromium yeast**

Chromium yeast is a catalyst that promotes insulin to control blood sugar. Supplementing chromium can increase the sensitivity of cells to insulin and enhance insulin activity by 7 to 10 times.


2. **White kidney bean**

White kidney bean contains the highly effective ingredient "Phaselarmin", which can inhibit the decomposition of starch into glucose and reduce the absorption of sugar by the human body, which can reduce starch absorption by an average of 57%.

Recommendations for consumption and precautions

1. It is recommended to consume it 30 minutes before meals to help stabilize sugar metabolism and regulate physiological functions, and reduce cravings or sleepiness after meals.

2. Avoid consuming it with medication to avoid interactions between medication and nutrients.

3. Diabetic patients should consult a doctor before supplementing. Bitter melon peptides cannot replace medications. Medication should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. Do not adjust or stop medication on your own to avoid health risks.
