There’s a lot of confusion surrounding peptides. A peptide is a short chain of amino acids that acts as a signal, telling the body to perform specific tasks, including building tendons, collagen, muscles, and ligaments.

GLP-1 is produced naturally in the gut and signals the body that you’re no longer hungry. This signal normally fades quickly, but certain GLP-1 weight loss drugs can remain active for up to seven days. This leads to decreased appetite and weight loss but can also cause gastrointestinal problems, muscle loss, and other side effects.

BPC-157 peptide injections have shown promising results for reducing knee pain, although human research remains limited.

Are peptides safe? Peptide safety largely depends on their source and quality. Much of the raw material used to manufacture peptides originates in China, and testing of some products has revealed incorrect amino acid sequences. Some products may also contain bacterial endotoxins, raising additional safety concerns.
