Key points from article :
Nuritas has discovered natural rice-based peptides known to impact inflammation & physical health.
Peptide was identified via AI program Nuritas Peptide Finder, from billions of other peptides in rice.
Unlocked their biological functionality & carried lab-based testing & a human clinical trial.
Trial showed that the peptide inhibits TNF-α - an inflammatory cytokine.
Reducing TNF-α corresponds with improvements in a number of standardised physical health tests.
These peptides decrease inflammaging & prevent development of lifestyle & metabolic diseases.
But health benefits of the peptides cannot be achieved by just eating rice.
" With COVID-19 heightening general awareness of inflammation and cytokines, discovering a natural product which can assist is a hugely significant finding for the team" - Dr Khaldi, Nuritas Founder & CEO.
Research by Nuritas published in Foods Journal.
