Peptides Explained
- Peptides are short chains of amino acids found in many protein sources.
- Bodybuilding peptides are synthetic and stimulate human growth hormone (HGH).
Peptides and Bodybuilding
- Bodybuilders use peptides because they stimulate HGH, which aids fat loss and muscle preservation.
- HGH promotes the release of IGF-1, further supporting these benefits.
Peptide Effectiveness
- Studies show peptides effectively increase HGH and IGF-1 levels in various populations.
- However, research on healthy, trained individuals is lacking regarding body composition effects.
