Product Description

Protygold® is a small molecular peptide derived from walnut protein through a patented, eco-friendly processing technology. It undergoes solvent-free cold-pressing for defatting, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and purification, resulting in a powder with over 75% peptide content and a low molecular weight (200-500 Da) for enhanced absorption. This walnut oligopeptide offers significant brain health benefits. It provides neuroprotection by reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting amyloid-beta aggregation, thereby slowing neuronal damage. Furthermore, it enhances cognitive functions by upregulating Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which supports neural growth, strengthens synaptic connections, and improves learning and memory. Additionally, Protygold® improves sleep quality by increasing the expression of GABA receptors, promoting a calming effect alongside GABA. In summary, Protygold® is an emerging, science-supported ingredient that offers a novel option for cognitive and sleep support in the market.
