What are peptides?

Peptides are made from amino acids and have many functions in the body. Some act like neurotransmitters, while others act like hormones. Many control and influence how our bodies react to diet and physical exercise. As we age, production of essential amino acids and peptides decreases. As a result, our bodies begin to show signs of aging, and cease to perform at an
optimal level. Because peptides have the ability to boost your body’s own natural hormone production, they are rapidly replacing traditional Human Growth Hormone therapy.
