sea cucumber peptide

Sea cucumber peptide is a mixture of small-molecule peptides derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins found in the body wall or viscera of sea cucumbers. The main component is collagen-derived peptides, with molecular weights typically less than 600 Da. Sea cucumber peptide exhibits a range of biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and potential neuroprotective effects. Studies have shown that it can modulate gut microbiota composition and inhibit M1 macrophage polarization via FPR2-mediated pathways in animal models of ulcerative colitis[2][4]. It also demonstrates strong free radical scavenging activity in vitro and may improve memory impairment[4][5]. Sea cucumber peptide is primarily developed as a dietary supplement or functional food ingredient for health maintenance rather than as a pharmaceutical drug[1][3][5].
