Bonito peptides have been shown to support normal blood pressure level maintenance by modulating angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) levels.

 

Japanese researchers have identified a patented process to isolate specific, active peptides from the bonito fish (Sarda orientalis), which has been shown to help maintain healthy blood pressure. Bonito peptides have been shown to inhibit ACE activity, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. By inhibiting the formation of this compound, bonito peptides relax the arterial walls and reduce fluid volume supporting healthy blood pressure. The main active bonito peptide (called LKPNM, based on its amino acid sequence) is converted by ACE to LKP, the active peptide shown to significantly support healthy blood pressure levels. Bonito, also called katsuobushi, is a small fish commonly consumed in Asian countries. The active peptides, or isolated prepared proteins, of the bonito fish are known to support healthy blood pressure, mediated by their ability to inhibit angiotensin l-converting enzyme (ACE) activity, which makes them an integral component of cardiovascular support protocols. Ortho Molecular’s bonito peptides product is standardized to contain 3.4 mg/gram of the isolated peptide LKPNM, which is converted by ACE to LKP, a peptide that provides eight times the ACE-supporting activity of the parent bonito compound. Studies have shown that 1.5 g per day of bonito peptides is beneficial for maintaining optimal blood pressure levels.
