Peptides 101: What They Are and Why Everyone's Talking About Them
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — essentially small proteins that signal your body to do specific things. They're not steroids, they're not hormones (though some influence hormone production), and they're not magic.
But they ARE one of the most exciting areas in performance and longevity science right now.
Here's a beginner-friendly overview:
What peptides do:
• Signal specific biological processes (growth hormone release, tissue repair, immune function)
• They're highly targeted — each peptide has a specific job
• Generally well-tolerated with fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals
Most popular peptides and what they're used for:
• BPC-157 — Gut healing, tissue repair, injury recovery. The "Wolverine peptide." Often used for tendon/ligament injuries.
• TB-500 — Wound healing, reduces inflammation, promotes tissue regeneration. Often stacked with BPC-157.
• CJC-1295/Ipamorelin — Growth hormone releasing peptides. Used for body composition, recovery, sleep quality.
• Semaglutide — GLP-1 agonist for weight management. The active compound in Ozempic/Wegovy.
• PT-141 — Sexual health and libido enhancement.
• Selank/Semax — Nootropic peptides for cognitive function and anxiety.
Important caveats:
• Quality matters enormously — only use reputable compounding pharmacies
• Most require injection (subcutaneous)
• Research is still emerging for many applications
• Work with a knowledgeable provider
We're building out a full peptide database with dosing protocols and research — stay tuned.
