What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of proteins that contain no more than 50 amino acids. In contrast, hormones are longer chained amino acids containing more than 50 amino acids. These peptides are essential molecules that regulate almost every known process and system in your body.
Peptides play a role in regulating:
- Metabolism
- Cell communication
- Hormone production
- Fat burning and muscle building
- Healing and tissue repair
Peptides also support stem cells to heal and regenerate new tissue and lower inflammation throughout the body.
What is peptide therapy?
Peptide therapy is a specialized treatment that uses peptide proteins to help improve health and health conditions, such as a treatment for arthritis to help reduce pain or as a tool to boost your metabolism to assist with weight loss.
