Pea protein hydrolysis yields bioactive peptides with angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor activity and antioxidant activity, potentially contributing to blood pressure regulation and oxidative stress reduction.
While whole pea protein is nutritious, hydrolyzed pea protein (often found in supplements) may offer additional cardiovascular benefits due to bioactive peptides that inhibit ACE. However, more human trials are needed to confirm these effects on blood pressure.
Pea protein, when hydrolysed, may yield peptides with bioactivities, including angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor activity and antioxidant activity.
Why this rating
Based on in vitro studies and reviews of bioactive peptides; human clinical trials specifically measuring blood pressure changes from pea protein hydrolysates are not the primary focus of the cited evidence.
