Characteristic
Marine octopus is an economically important seafood species worldwide due to its rich nutrition, strong environmental adaptability, fast growth and high conversion rate. Octopus peptide is a small molecule oligopeptide made from octopus protein by bio-directed enzymatic hydrolysis technology. Compared with its parent protein, octopus peptide has better biological activity and higher nutritional and medicinal value. Octopus peptide contains octopamine, taurine and other active ingredients, which play a physiological regulatory role in the human body. It also has the functions of chelation, immune regulation, anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, anti-virus, anti-bacterial, cholesterol-lowering and blood pressure-lowering. Alfa Chemistry is committed to providing customers with high-quality octopus peptides. If you need, please contact us immediately.

Active Ingredients
Octopamine and taurine are the main active ingredients in octopus peptides. Their definitions and functions are as follows:
Octopamine is highly concentrated in neurones of several invertebrate species. It is an organic chemical closely related to noradrenaline. In invertebrates, octopamine acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, playing a role in regulating various physiological processes such as locomotion, feeding, reproduction, and stress response. In humans, octopamine has been studied as a dietary supplement with the potential to reduce weight and improve athletic performance, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety in humans.
Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid. It plays a variety of important roles in the body, including regulating osmotic pressure balance, modulating neurotransmission, supporting bile salt formation for fat digestion, and acting as an antioxidant. It also contributes to the function of the heart, muscles and eyes, and is involved in the development of the central nervous system. Taurine supplementation has a variety of health benefits, including improving cardiovascular health, enhancing athletic performance, reducing the risk of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, and supporting cognitive function and eye health.
Main Applications
Octopus peptides have different potential applications across various industries. Their unique biological properties make them valuable ingredients for products aimed at promoting health and well-being.
- In nutraceuticals and dietary supplements, octopus peptides contribute to cardiovascular health, athletic performance and overall well-being.
