Sweetened with sucralose, a zero-calorie sweetener — this refers to the sweetener itself, not a claim that the sachet as a whole is calorie-free. Exact per-sachet calorie count wasn't in the source material; check with your supplier/formulation team before publishing a specific number.
Overview
VitaPept is a formulated bioactive peptide developed at Temasek Polytechnic's Centre of Innovation for Complementary Health Products in Singapore, combining small-molecule peptide technology with natural plant and fruit-derived active factors for antioxidant and blood pressure support.
It's designed for people who want a daily antioxidant habit that's easy to stick with — a clean-tasting drink rather than a bitter supplement, with the full function of small-molecule peptides intact.
Best suited for:
- Working professionals focused on cardiovascular health
- Those in sub-optimal health seeking daily antioxidant support
- Mature consumers who prioritize blood pressure health management
The Science
Peptides are a smaller, more readily absorbed nutrient form than standard protein. Their amino acid structure allows them to neutralize excess free radicals — the molecules behind oxidative stress from everyday sources like sun exposure, inflammation, and daily stress. Left unchecked, oxidative stress is linked to skin aging, fatigue, blood vessel aging, and increased chronic disease risk.
One limitation of ordinary peptides: once they've neutralized free radicals, they become oxidized and inactive themselves — so antioxidant protection needs to be continually replenished. VitaPept's formula combines peptides with natural plant and fruit-derived active factors designed to help repair and reactivate oxidized peptides, extending their antioxidant capacity.
Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) testing
The R&D team tested 9 candidate active-factor formulas, measured in mmol Trolox equivalent per 100g (Trolox is a synthetic antioxidant used as the standard reference in antioxidant testing).
| Formula | TAC (mmol Trolox / 100g) |
|---|---|
| Formulas 1–4, 6–8 (avg.) | ~1.0–1.4 |
| Formula 9 | 62.2 |
| Formula 5 — VitaPept | 96.2 |
Per the formulation team: each 5g sachet's antioxidant capacity is comparable to roughly 2.5 oranges.
ACE Inhibitory Activity testing
ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibition is linked to blood pressure regulation — a lower measured value means stronger inhibitory effect. Tested at two concentrations against a positive control and comparison products, VitaPept measured the lowest (strongest) result of all products tested at both concentrations.
How to Use
- Prepare 200ml of warm water (temperature to your preference).
- Open the sachet and gently pour the peptide powder into the water.
- Let it sit — it dissolves on its own in 3–5 minutes, no stirring needed.
- For best results, drink within 1 hour.
Recommended intake: 2 sachets daily, ideally before meals for best absorption. Can be taken alongside other JHBD peptide products.
Safety & Certifications
Microbial and heavy metal testing was conducted independently by TÜV SÜD Singapore. All results were within the limits set by Singapore's Health Sciences Authority (HSA) for complementary health products, including heavy metals (arsenic, lead, mercury) and microbial safety across all flavour variants.
About the sweetener (sucralose, 0 sugar / 0 calories): Sucralose is approved for use globally, including by the US FDA and the EU, with no identified carcinogenic or genotoxic risk. Official daily safe intake limits are set at 5mg/kg body weight (US FDA) and 15mg/kg body weight (EU EFSA). For a 60kg adult, the US FDA limit works out to roughly 120 sachets of VitaPept per day — far above the recommended intake of 2 sachets daily.
