PeptAtlas Research Team

The PeptAtlas research team hand-compiles and cross-references published peptide research — PubMed and PMC studies, journal papers, primary sources — into plain-language reference guides. Every claim carries its source; every article maps back to the original study. We are an independent information resource, not medical professionals: content is for education and scientific reference only, never as medical advice.

Peptide Metabolism: How the Body Breaks Down Peptides

When you consume proteins, your body begins breaking them down in the stomach with gastric acid and enzymes like pepsin, producing smaller peptides. This process continues in the small intestine with pancreatic enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, which hydrolyze peptides into even smaller fragments and amino acids. Specialized enzymes
