Usage

General Description

Gluten Exorphin B5 is a chemical compound derived from the partial digestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat and some other grains. Its name refers to its ability to bind to opioid receptors in the brain, potentially producing effects similar to endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. As such, gluten exorphins have been implicated in some theories regarding gluten sensitivity and addiction. However, scientific understanding of the precise effects and significance of these compounds remains incomplete.
