Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Peptides, particularly bioactive peptides derived from dietary proteins, have been investigated for their potential role in supporting or treating colitis, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Preclinical studies, especially in animal models, have demonstrated that certain peptides can exert anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and barrier-protective effects on the gut. For example, peptide fragments from milk proteins (e.g., casein and whey) and fish proteins have shown potential to decrease pro-inflammatory cytokine production, enhance mucosal healing, and modulate gut microbiota in rodent models of colitis. Additionally, there is scientific rationale for the use of peptide-based enteral nutrition formulas (also called "elemental" or "semi-elemental" diets) in clinical settings; these formulas contain partially hydrolyzed proteins (peptides) and have been shown to induce remission in some patients with active Crohn's disease, especially in pediatric populations.

However, high-quality clinical trials specifically testing isolated peptides for colitis management in humans are limited. The bulk of evidence comes from animal research and from clinical studies on peptide-based nutritional support rather than purified peptides as therapeutic agents. As a result, while there is scientific interest and preclinical evidence supporting the use of certain peptides in colitis, the clinical evidence remains moderate, justifying a rating of 3 out of 5.
