Where Does It Come From?

Angiotensin amide is a peptide (angiotensin ii analogue).

Research & Evidence

Angiotensin amide is a synthetic, stabilised analogue of angiotensin II, the peptide hormone that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure as part of the renin-angiotensin system. It was used medically as a vasopressor to support blood pressure. It is a pharmaceutical peptide rather than a plant constituent.
