Specific Collagen Peptides May Improve Blood Sugar and Digestion by Affecting Hormones After Meals in People with Normal and Prediabetic Blood Sugar

Updated

Abstract

Collagen peptides (CP; Nextida GC) may enhance postprandial glycemic control by stimulating GLP-1 secretion.

  • Nutritional preload strategies are associated with better blood sugar management after meals.
  • Specific collagen peptides were identified that can increase GLP-1 secretion in laboratory studies.
  • Improvements in blood sugar responses were observed in preclinical models using these collagen peptides.
  • A pilot human study indicated potential benefits of these peptides for glycemic control.
