Peptides are naturally occurring amino acid chains. Insulin was the first hormone to be synthetically recreated with peptides and sold for diabetes in 1923. Applications for peptide therapies have since included cancer treatment, erectile dysfunction, kidney disease, chronic pain, HIV, sexual disorders, heart failure, and chronic weight loss issues.
Here’s how peptides help with chronic weight loss difficulties: Glucagons are hormones secreted after a meal, helping you feel full faster and longer. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1 ) is a class of hormone mimicking peptides that have routinely proven themselves as effective in controlling appetite and blood sugar levels, resulting in weight loss for people who take them.
