Peptides 101: What They Are and Why You’re Hearing So Much About Them

If you’re interested in wellness, longevity, or weight loss, chances are you’ve heard the buzz around peptides. But what exactly are peptides, and why are they becoming a go-to tool in functional medicine?

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body. They help regulate everything from metabolism and inflammation to tissue repair and hormone production.
