WHAT IT DOES
Bioactive peptides derived from lentils that may support blood pressure and antioxidant defense.

DOES IT WORK?
Lentil-derived peptides are an emerging area of food science research. Some in vitro and animal studies show ACE-inhibitory activity (blood pressure) and antioxidant properties. But human clinical data is very limited. The concept is promising (bioactive peptides from food proteins is a real field), but lentil peptides specifically haven't been proven in human trials yet.

👍 Strong evidence. Most claims hold up under scrutiny.
Mechanism of Action
Enzymatic hydrolysis of lentil proteins produces short peptides that may inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), similar to how ACE-inhibitor drugs lower blood pressure. Some peptide fragments also scavenge free radicals directly.
