Peptides – An In-Depth View

Peptides are becoming more and more popular within the bodybuilding industry each and every day, but it’s hard to see why. I mean sure, they can help you build muscle mass and lose weight, and help you tone up any excess

fat into muscle, but they’ve been around for a while, why are they only just becoming popular?

Within this article we’ll take a look at what peptides really are, and how they can benefit you.

What are Peptides?

Peptides are short chain monomers, which consist of amino acids bonded together with a peptide bond. Your body uses peptides to secret the growth hormone, also known as GH for short. The growth hormone is already stored in your body.

What is GH?

The Growth Hormone has a variety of benefits within the body, it can be used for:

Recovery: If you have damaged muscles, or a cut, etc., anywhere on your body, GH can help fix that. The more GH that is secreted within your body, the shorter the recovery time will be. Therefore, by using peptides – you can quickly recover from any injuries you may have sustained while bodybuilding.

Aging: None of us like aging, and birthdays can be slightly sombre each year, as you realize you are one year older. Peptides can help slow the aging process, letting you look your best each and every year, you will effectively look younger. Yes, you will still be whatever age you should be, but you will have less wrinkles, crow’s feet and less loose skin. This is a great effect of GH, which is stimulated by peptides.

Fat Loss: The growth hormone can quickly help you lose fat, the more of it there is in your body, the faster you will lose weight. This will only work if you have a lot of fat that won’t remove itself naturally, even if you are incredibly healthy. It will naturally break down this fat, and remove it from your body. This allows you to feel much healthier than ever before. This also improves your self-confidence indirectly, as you will love your body so much more.

How Do I Use Peptides?

Peptides usually come as a powder, they are usually subcutaneous or intramuscular. This means that the white powdered peptide will need to be carefully mixed with the right amount of bacteriostatic water or saline. This is then inserted into a syringe, and injected directly into your muscles.

Where Should I Inject Peptides?

When looking for an area to inject peptides, it is important to make sure you find a lean muscle, with little fat. You need a short pathway between your outer layer of skin and the muscle. The leaner, the better. Once you have found this muscle, simply inject the peptide directly into the muscle.

Are Peptides Right for Me?

Peptides are completely safe. Just make sure you read the directions on the packaging, and follow it carefully.
