PEPTIDE BASICS
What Is a Peptide?
A peptide is made up of amino acids linked together in a chain. Peptides are generally shorter than proteins, but they play an important role in how the body communicates and regulates different functions.
Because peptides can influence specific pathways in the body, they are commonly discussed in areas such as metabolic health, hormone support, recovery, cognitive performance, and longevity.
Important
Peptide products and therapies should be reviewed with a licensed medical provider to determine whether they are appropriate for you. Some compounded products are not FDA-approved, meaning FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing.
