What exactly are peptides?

Peptides or polypeptides are short chains of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks that combine to form proteins such as collagen, elastin, and keratin. These proteins are present in abundant quantities in the skin. They give the skin its structure, texture, resilience, and strength.

​

As you age, your body starts making fewer skin proteins like collagen. This causes your skin to become thinner, drier, rougher, and less elastic. Also, the loss of collagen in the skin leads to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

Using  peptides can provide your skin with the raw materials to make these essential proteins that keep your skin looking smoother, brighter, firmer, and youthful. They also help with longevity of overall health, weight loss/management, brain fog, memory and muscle mass. They also offer sexual health peptides which can help in increasing libido.
