Description

Yam peptide is a plant-based functional ingredient derived from the root of Dioscorea spp., a nutritious tuber traditionally valued for its wellness benefits. Through a refined process involving enzymatic hydrolysis, purification, and spray drying, yam proteins are broken down into small molecular peptides with enhanced bioavailability and biological activity.

These short-chain peptides are easily absorbed and can quickly participate in physiological processes. Studies suggest they possess multiple biofunctional properties, including antioxidant and antibacterial activity, immune system modulation, support for healthy blood pressure and glucose levels, and promotion of intestinal health. Compared with conventional yam powder or extracts, yam peptide offers a more concentrated and efficient approach to delivering health-supportive compounds.
