About Course

Peptide proteins are absorbed more efficiently and support more rapid growth and recovery rates. Improving clinical outcomes for those patients requiring increased nutrient bioavailability is often a major metabolic challenge. There’s a growing body of evidence that protein digestion can be significantly limited in many conditions and with increased age. Larger, intact proteins may present the immune system with unique challenges. Numerous issues alter gut permeability and allow protein into the systemic circulation. This is responsible for increased inflammation, insulin production, and a contributing risk to insulin resistance.

What are peptides and how are they made? Does it make sense to utilize a peptide-protein with specific patient issues? If so, what is the best source? How will they benefit patients? What does the clinical evidence suggest thus far? Learn the answers to these questions and many more with this webinar.
