Bovine Bone Marrow Polypeptide

Introduction

Bovine bone marrow polypeptide is a bioactive compound derived from the bone marrow of bovine species, primarily cows. It consists of proteins and peptides extracted through processes such as enzymatic hydrolysis or water extraction. These polypeptides are rich in essential amino acids, collagen, and other nutrients, making them valuable in health supplements and functional foods. Bovine bone marrow is recognized for its high nutritional value, containing proteins, fats, stearic acid, linoleic acid, and trace minerals. It is processed using methods like freeze-drying or filtration to ensure purity and maintain bioactivity.

Uses

• Nutritional Supplements: Supports bone health, joint function, and immune system enhancement by providing collagen, stem cells, and growth factors for tissue repair.
• Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties: Exhibits antioxidant activity against DPPH free radicals and potential antimicrobial effects, suitable for functional foods or pharmaceuticals.
• Traditional Medicine: Used in some cultures, especially in China, to nourish organs, detoxify, and replenish bone marrow, promoting overall wellness.
• Cosmetic and Skin Health: Explored for improving skin texture and combating aging due to its collagen and amino acid content.
