Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Biopeptides, often referring to bioactive peptides derived from proteins such as collagen, whey, or casein, have been studied for their effects on the muscular system. Scientific evidence suggests that certain biopeptides, particularly those derived from whey protein (such as BCAAs and other short-chain peptides), may support muscle synthesis and recovery. Clinical studies have shown that protein hydrolysates—proteins broken down into peptides—can enhance muscle protein synthesis post-exercise due to their rapid absorption and delivery of amino acids. Additionally, some biopeptides have been found to exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which may indirectly support muscle recovery and health. However, while there is moderate evidence supporting the use of protein-derived biopeptides for muscle maintenance and growth, the evidence is stronger for intact proteins or free amino acids. The specific benefits of isolated biopeptides, as opposed to whole protein sources, are less well-characterized and require more large-scale, long-term clinical trials. Overall, the use of biopeptides for muscle support is grounded in scientific studies, but the strength of evidence is moderate rather than robust, warranting a rating of 3 out of 5.
