Bioactive peptides Bioactive substances are found in organic matter, such as plants, animals, and animal products, so bioactive peptides might also be categorized as natural peptides.10 Bioactive peptides can be consumed via dietary sources, including but not limited to eggs, soy, legumes, meat (including seafood), and dairy.11 Or else they can be isolated, extracted, and processed into oral or even topical supplements
