Peptides

Peptides are short strings of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. They help the body heal, grow, and function properly. They are naturally present in our bodies but start to decline with age. They perform many important functions, including: Improving cell signaling, Acting like hormones and neurotransmitters, Controlling how the body reacts to exercise and diet, Helping with digestion and energy use, and Regulating hunger. As people age, the quantity and quality of peptides in the body decreases, which can lead to a loss of physiological function. Some research suggests that adding peptides to your routine in your 20s or 30s can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging. The body's production of collagen peptides for the skin decreases by about 1% each year after age 20, and production stops around age 40. Peptides have many potential health benefits, including: 

• Anti-aging: Peptides can help slow down the aging process and reduce signs of aging. Collagen peptides are a popular type of peptide for skin health and anti-aging. 
• Muscle growth: Peptides can help build muscle mass and strength. Some peptides can help boost the release of hormones that stimulate muscle growth. 
• Improved skin health: Peptides can help strengthen the skin barrier, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity. They can also help repair damaged skin and even out skin tone. 
• Reduced inflammation: Peptides can help reduce inflammation in the body, including in the brain. 
• Improved immune system: Peptides may help boost the immune system. 
• Improved gut health: Peptides may help improve gut health. 
• Enhanced cognitive health: Peptides may help enhance cognitive health and regulate mood. 
• Antioxidant activity: Peptides can help protect cells from damage by neutralizing harmful free radicals. 
• Improved physical performance: Peptides may help improve physical performance and exercise recovery.
