Peptides are strings of amino acids, which are the "building blocks" of proteins that support signals sent between cells in your body.

 

Your body naturally makes peptides. Lab-made peptides mimic some of those found in your body to regulate and optimize certain physiological processes to support health.

 

Each peptide has its own function in the body; some may perform in much the same way as brain chemicals or neurotransmitters, some act like hormones, and some can have direct interaction with the body's response to an activity or what you eat.

 

Since peptides are smaller than proteins, the body can more readily process them, so they can bring along a host of benefits.
