peptides are defined as short chains of amino acids (typically between 2 and 50) linked by peptide bonds. They act as precise “cellular messengers” that signal specific parts of the body to perform functions like healing tissue, releasing hormones, or burning fat.

While proteins (like muscle) are made of long chains of hundreds of amino acids, peptides are much smaller, allowing them to be more easily absorbed and targeted for medical and research purposes.

How Peptides Work

Peptides work by binding to specific receptors on the surface of cells, much like a key fits into a lock. Once attached, they “instruct” the cell to take a specific action:

Signaling: Telling the pituitary gland to release natural growth hormone (e.g., CJC-1295, Hexarelin).
Repairing: Stimulating fibroblasts to create collagen or heal tendons (e.g., BPC-157, GHK-Cu).
Regulating: Mimicking gut hormones to control appetite and insulin (e.g., Semaglutide, Tirzepatide).

Primary Categories of Peptides

Metabolic & Weight Loss: These mimic incretin hormones to regulate blood sugar and suppress hunger. (e.g., Semaglutide/Wegovy, Tirzepatide/Zepbound).
Regenerative & Repair: Used to accelerate the healing of joints, skin, and organs. (e.g., BPC-157, TB-500).
Performance & Growth: Secretagogues that trigger the body’s natural production of growth hormone for muscle and bone health. (e.g., Ipamorelin, CJC-1295).
Cosmetic & Anti-Aging: Frequently used in high-end skincare to improve elasticity and reduce wrinkles. (e.g., GHK-Cu, Argireline).

Common Formats and Delivery

Injectable: Most high-potency peptides are supplied as lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder that must be reconstituted with Bacteriostatic Water and injected subcutaneously.
Oral: Recent 2026 advancements have increased the availability of oral peptides (like BPC-157 capsules or Oral Wegovy), though bioavailability can be lower than injections.
- Topical: Common in dermatology for localized skin repair.
Regulatory and Safety Status
- FDA Status: While some peptides are FDA-approved (like insulin and GLP-1s), many others are currently classified for “Research Use Only” while they undergo clinical trials.
- Anti-Doping: Most performance-enhancing peptides are strictly prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
- Safety: Peptides are generally well-tolerated because they are made of amino acids the body recognizes, but improper dosing or low-purity sources can lead to side effects like water retention or hormonal imbalances.
