Peptides

Peptides are a growing field of medicine that are made up of at least 2 amino acids that are naturally occurring. The ends of the peptides can be modified to increase the stability, half life, and duration in the body. Peptides works by selectively signaling cell surface receptors that induce an intracellular effect. They can function as hormones, growth factors, repair signals, neurotransmitters, ion channel ligands, and anti-infectives. Most peptides made by our pharmacy need a prescription from a practitioner.
