Elemental Nutrition Peptides is a revolutionary supplement designed to aid muscle growth and repair, and support fast recovery from even the most intense workouts. This unique supplement is one of the first to combine di- and tri-peptides for quick absorption and fast assimilation into the blood stream & muscles.
Hydrolysed versus Intact Protein
As far back as the 1970’s, studies on protein digestion in humans revealed that the main products of protein digestion in the gut are not single amino acids, but rather dipeptides and tripeptides1, 2. Subsequent studies in humans have shown that a nitrogen load is absorbed more rapidly when it is delivered in the form of di- or tripeptides, rather than as whole protein or even as free amino acids1-6. Their superior absorption is mediated by a specific intestinal oligopeptide transporter called Pept-17, 8.
Importance of Degree of Hydrolysation
While it’s proven that dipeptides and tripeptides are absorbed faster than intact protein or free amino acids, it’s erroneous to assume that your typical hydrolysed whey protein contains any appreciable amounts of these peptides. For a hydrolysed whey protein to contain high levels of dipeptides and tripeptides, it must have a high degree of hydrolysis. This in turn requires a number of additional purification and extraction steps, which come at a significant cost. So rather than pay for a quality hydrolysate, many brands attempt to leverage the benefits of dipeptides and tripeptides by using cheap whey protein hydrolysates with a low degree of hydrolysis and minimal dipeptide and tripeptide content.
Benefits of Peptides
Not only does Elemental Nutrition Peptides contain whey protein with a high degree of hydrolysis, it contains specialised whey protein fractions specifically concentrated to contain high amounts of branched-chain amino acid dipeptides and tripeptides. Recent research has discovered that these branched chain dipeptides and tripeptides from whey protein mediate many of the specific benefits ascribed to hydrolysed whey protein. Some of these benefits include:
- Increased insulin release – leading to improved muscle protein synthesis and glucose storage
- Attenuation of muscle glycogen depletion during exercise
- Stimulation of glucose uptake into muscle following exercise – leading to improved recovery
- Improved endurance capacity with continued use
- Quicker absorption9
- Higher peak amino acid levels in blood following ingestion9
The graph below displays how branched-chain amino acids from hydrolysed whey protein are absorbed more rapidly and peak at higher levels in blood when compared to free-form branched-chain amino acids from normal whey protein.

The graph below displays the insulin response of whey protein hydrolysate compared to normal whey protein. As with the branched-chain amino acids above, insulin peaks higher and sooner following ingestion of whey protein hydrolysate. This is important as insulin is one of the most powerful hormones for muscle growth and recovery.

Faster & Higher Absorption of Peptides
High amino acid levels in blood together with high insulin levels is a potent anabolic stimulus. Elemental Nutrition Peptides provides a range of vital amino acids in a highly usable form, allowing for rapid uptake and stimulus of muscle protein synthesis. WIth its high branched-chain amino acid content, Elemental Nutrition Peptides also serves as an effective supplement for improving muscle recovery and reducing muscle soreness.

Elemental Peptides is to our knowledge the only supplement that utilise branched chain amino acid peptides together along with arginine peptides and hydrolysed whey protein peptides. It’s well known that short chain peptides are absorbed more effectively & much quicker compared to standard single amino acids. Should you be seeking faster recovery & greater growth than what your normal amino acids or BCAA's offer, then Elemental Peptides is the product for you.
- The response to the question about the supplement with the ADF is a double negative, so does that mean it will show up in a drug test?
We see NO ingredients in this formula that are prohibited or those that would cause a failed drug test.
- Can you stack this with your muscle fuel product?
Yes. EN Peptides can be stacked effectively with EN Massive Muscle Fuel. Together they make an excellent supplement stcck.
- Can I use this supplement when been in the ADF?
We see NO ingredients in this formula that wpuld cause a negative test result. In saying this the responsibility is always that of the user to check with the testing authority, in your case the ADF.
- What is the dosage recommendation ie pre or post workout?
Recommended dosage is 1 level scoop 5g taken pre or post workout.
- I friend of mine said that using a shredding peptide was great for quick weight loss whilst exercising? This is not the right product for me is it?? Thanks.
I think your friend may be using a Shredding protein which is a fat loss protein to help with weight loss. Elemental Peptides are broken down fragments of protein that help to digest quicker in your body but it is not specifically designed for weight loss.
Instead, you can consider this product:
- Elemental Shredding Matrix - https://www.mrsupplement.com.au/elemental-nutrition-shredding-matrix
- Is it safe to have 2 scoops of this if i have more water with it?
Yes, you shouldn't have any problems with adding an extra scoop with more water.
- How is this product different from say BCAA product? I am not sure whether to purchase Elemental Nutrition BCAA+G or Peptides. Thanks
Elemental Peptides are an advanced form of BCAAs in peptide form. They are superior to regular BCAAs in absorption and their anabolic potential. For more information please refer to this article:
https://www.mrsupplement.com.au/leucine-peptides - just curious how these peps go in inba testing. also how results go.
Elemental Nutrition Peptides are legal for use during competition for most competition bodies. However, as always, we recommend consulting with your regulatory body if you have any doubts.
- can this be used with elemental nutrition HGH? also, would u still take amios during ur workout aswell?
Yes, Peptides can be stacked together with both HGH and regular aminos.
- Is this for woman to use too? We train in X fit 3 days per week and weights for 2 days, but obviously don't wanna BULK up, just want to smash our workouts and be lean! Thanks! I have been using Extend and really like it, can I use them both??
Yes, Peptides would be suitable for use by women. When taken during a workout, it can promote faster recovery and prevent muscle breakdown. Stacking it with Xtend can be complementary and both products can work together to aid with recovery.
- do you take elemental peptides post workout in place of a whey protein powder shake?
No, it is recommended you keep your protein powder for post workout. Peptides is best taken during a workout.
- What age bracket is this best suited for? Can a 20 yr old take it? Thanks.
Elemental Nutrition Peptides is suitable for those over the age of 15. However, its effects are most pronounced for those with slower recovery, ie slightly older individuals.
- Im interested in knowin about if these Peptides n ur HGH stuff would show up as a positive in a urine test as i work away in the mines in WA n ave been caught out before with sum supplements
Both Elemental Peptides and HGH contain no banned substances and should be okay for use, even if you are drug tested.
Tastes OK not to chemical.
Excellent for muscle recovery.
Never been sore after a workout.
I’ll get more if ya have any left in stock Cheers 🤙
