Peptides
"I KNOW I HAVE HEARD OF THEM":
"Peptide" may be a buzzword this season but it should grab your attention because the possibilities are incredible! Peptides are helping people achieve health goals like never before, but peptides aren't new. They occur in your body naturally and they have been used in pharmaceuticals since the 1920's when Insulin, which is a peptide, was released. There are thousands of identified peptides in existence. Some of the most common peptides that people use are Collagen and Creatine, these are often taken orally. Then you have GLP-1's, that are also peptides, that are injected subcutaneously.
"SO, WHAT ARE THEY AND WHAT DO THEY DO?!":
When it comes down to it peptides are small chains of amino acids, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are used in the body to create essential structures like hair, bones, and muscles. They also make enzymes, hormones, and antibodies that perform functions such as digestion, signaling, and fighting infection. Sometimes the body needs a boost, and we can help by providing more of the peptides that serve as the building blocks of certain bodily functions. In turn your body can more easily fight infection, build healthy skin, prevent bone loss, build strength, slow down the aging process, etc. Not all peptides are created equally, and you should only consult with a licensed medical establishment like Face Forward.
