Metabolism & Elimination GLP2 undergoes metabolism through pathways typical of peptide therapeutics: Plasma half-life of approximately 5 days in humans, enabling once-weekly administration Primary metabolic pathways include proteolytic cleavage of the peptide backbone, beta-oxidation of the C20 fatty diacid moiety, and amide hydrolysis Not metabolized via cytochrome P450 enzymes, sulfation, or glucuronidation pathways Low potential for drug-drug interactions mediated through hepatic metabolism or transporter systems The extended half-life represents a key pharmacokinetic advantage, with steady-state accumulation of approximately 1.7-fold enabling consistent therapeutic exposure throughout the dosing interval

For anyone who relies on NSAIDs regularly whether for pain, inflammation, or another chronic condition this is an important consideration, and one where additional gut support can make a real difference
