What is a Peptide?
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids, typically consisting of 2 to 100 amino acids, formed through a condensation reaction. These amino acids are linked by peptide bonds, creating a sequence that forms the building blocks of proteins. While peptides and proteins are both composed of amino acids, peptides are shorter chains compared to proteins.
Peptides are naturally produced in the body and play a key role in several vital processes, including energy metabolism, appetite regulation, hormone function, and cellular movement. By supplementing with peptides, you can enhance these natural processes and support your body’s functions in a more targeted and efficient way.
Are Peptides the Same as Steroids?
No, peptides and steroids are distinct substances. Peptides are chains of amino acids, while steroids are ring-shaped fatty molecules. While both can aid in muscle growth and fat loss, they operate through different mechanisms.
It’s important to note that while peptides can be beneficial, the World Anti-Doping Agency has banned the use of most peptides, along with all steroids, in competitive athletes.
