- Fermented dairy (IPP/VPP)
- Isoleucine-proline-proline, valine-proline-proline
- 3–5g peptides in 150–200ml product
- Competitive ACE inhibition (IC50 5–9 μM)
- 4–7 mmHg systolic after 8–12 weeks
- Most clinically validated approach. Consistent trial results, GRAS status, minimal adverse events
- Marine-derived (sardine, bonito)
- LKPNM, IKP sequences
- 1.5–3g peptide hydrolysate
- ACE inhibition + eNOS upregulation
- 5–9 mmHg systolic after 6–10 weeks
- Stronger acute effect than dairy peptides but less long-term data; fishy taste limits adherence
- Soy protein hydrolysate
- Multiple sequences (varies by preparation)
- 25–40g whole soy protein
- Mixed ACE inhibition and isoflavone-mediated vasodilation
- 2–5 mmHg systolic after 12+ weeks
- Weakest isolated peptide effect but beneficial as part of plant-based dietary pattern
- Synthetic ACE-inhibiting tripeptides
- Custom sequences (research use)
- 0.5–1g pure compound
- Direct ACE binding (higher affinity than food peptides)
- Variable. Research stage only
- Not approved for human consumption; available through research suppliers like Real Peptides for laboratory investigation
