Peptides are short sequence of amino acids, 3-40 amino acids in length. Basically the are very small proteins.  Biologically, peptides are signaling molecules, allowing communication between cells, and turning specific pathways on or off.  They are powerful super-chargers of your biochemical construction crew.  Peptides direct a wide range of biologic processes.

Peptide therapy is an exciting cutting-edge treatment that utilizes specific peptides to signal optimal messages for improved health.  Under appropriate management, the benefits can be immense.  Most often the administration is with a very small needle into the fat pad of the abdomen (subcutaneous injection).  This is necessary, as being a protein, taking an oral capsule would lead to digestion/degradation of the peptide.
