A short chain of amino acid is known as peptide. In this chain, amino acid are connected in a sequence by bonds. These bonds are further known as a peptide bond. Some are confused between peptide and protein. Typically, peptides are different from protein due to their shorter length. Moreover, the cut off number of amino acids in both chains are arbitrary. The most common aspect of peptide and protein is that they can be found in natural food, that’s it! Due to potential health benefits from weight management to skin health, many supplements are preferred around the globe. These supplements are either prepared by extraction from natural food or made synthetically.
One of the most lucrative benefit of peptides is that it acts as messengers, triggering skin cells for specific functions such as
- Building collagen and elastin
- Encouraging skin to look and act younger
There are different peptides performing different role in the body. Some of the types are
CJC 1295 – It is a chain of 29 amino acid. The peptide hormone primarily functions as a GHRH analog and known as GRF 1-29. Research suggest CJC 1295 rouses GH secretion which is responsible for youthful and amplified release of IGF-1 and GH. It gives minimal effect on cortisol and prolactin levels. The benefits of CJC 1295 therapy include
- Increased protein synthesis
- Improved recovery
- Reduced body fat
- Immune system support
Ipamorelin – the chain of this peptide consists of five amino acids so; this can also be called penta-peptides. It is considered as one of the safest and most effective forms of Growth Hormone restoration. Ipamorelin is widely used for varied health benefits that include:
- Age management
- Disease management
- Sports performance
- GH deficiency treatment protocols
It is an analog of the hormone ghrelin and a growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP).
BPC 157– it is composed of 15 amino acids which is a fractional sequence of body protection compound (BPC). It is found and extracted from human gastric juice. Moreover, it has been confirmed to fast-track the healing of many different injuries, including transected rat Achilles tendon.
In fact, research conducted on many rodent studies on BPC-157 shows that it has defensive effects ranging beyond the stomach and intestinal tract.
- It alsobenefits ulcers in the stomach
- intestinal damage (fistulas and inflammatory disorders)
- bone and joint healing and growth rates
- organ damage
BPC-157 also proved some influences on the brain. Researchers have noticed protective effects when BPC-157 is directed to rats alongside a research toxin or damaging surgical procedure.
Sermorelin– It is the acetate salt of an amidated synthetic 29 amino acid peptide (GRF 1-29 NH 2 ) that links to the amino-terminal segment of the naturally occurring human GH. It helps to release (GHRH or GRF) entailing of 44 amino acid residues. There are tremendous health benefits of Sermorelin that include:
- Better stamina
- Enhanced vitality
- Faster fat reduction
- Augmented lean body mass
- Improved energy levels
- Increased physical strength
- Accelerated healing process of injuries
- Better cardiovascular and immune function
Every type of peptide plays important role in Growth hormone for human body. Each of them is necessary for us. If, you don’t find them enough in natural food then there is always other way out. You can opt for therapies or supplements that proffer enough level of peptides in the body.
