How AI-Discovered Cell-Signaling Peptides Are Powering the Next Generation of Functional Foods &
Beverages
November 2025
Cell-signaling peptides go beyond functional ingredients. Formulators can bypass basic nutritional pathways and access sophisticated peptide networks, which communicate directly with cellular receptors. Nuritas’ AI platform, Magnifier, has discovered peptides that can do anything from promote comprehensive sleep to reduce muscle fatigue by 47%. Explore why cell-signaling peptides are redefining R&D.
