What Are Peptides?
The peptide is a compound comprised of two or more amino acids (foundational components of proteins) linked in a chain, the carboxyl group of each acid being joined to its respective amino partner by means of an -OC-NH bond. However, a peptide will contain fewer amino acids than a protein-based composition does.
Lab-produced peptides can be quite similar to those present in our bodies; some have been utilized in medications for ailments such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis, while others may lead to greater physical well-being through consumption or application within cosmetics or dietary supplements available without a prescription.
Despite their relative laxity towards pharmaceuticals, the FDA does maintain a vigilant eye when it comes to cosmetics and nutritional supplements. Therefore, ensure that any peptide product you purchase is properly regulated before implementation.
What Is Peptide Therapy?
Although our bodies are capable of synthesizing peptides, production patterns can vary greatly, and we often observe a decline in levels with age; this is where Peptide Therapy comes into play. By administering peptides to target cells for specific functions, therapeutic applications abound, allowing physicians to perform both preventative and curative procedures.
