Natural peptides can be found in a variety of sources, both animal and plant-based. Here's a look at some common natural peptides sources:
Plant-Based Sources of Natural Peptides
According to reference information, many plants contain active peptides. Some of these include:
- Legumes: These include beans, lentils, and peas.
- Flax Seeds: Known for their omega-3 fatty acids and now recognized for their peptide content.
- Hemp Seeds: A source of complete protein and various peptides.
- Soybeans: A popular plant protein, rich in beneficial peptides.
- Oats: A common breakfast food that provides peptides.
- Wheat: Another grain source of these important compounds.
These plant-based peptides are becoming increasingly popular in both food and supplement products.
Peptides in Supplements
- Many powder and capsule supplements also contain active peptides.
- Collagen supplements are a prime example of supplements that often include active peptides.
Natural Peptide Sources Overview
| Source | Type | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Plant-Based | Seeds | Flax seeds, hemp seeds |
| Plant-Based | Grains | Oats, Wheat |
| Plant-Based | Legumes | Soybeans, beans, lentils, peas |
| Supplements | Powders, Capsules | Collagen Supplements, protein supplements |
The reference states that besides animal sources, plant sources like legumes, flax seeds, hemp seeds, soybeans, oats and wheat are "enriched in active peptides.”
