Peptides and Their Impact on Physiological Functions

Peptides are powerful compounds that can influence various physiological functions in the body. They can aid in inflammation reduction, tissue repair, and even cognitive enhancement. For example, peptides like cerebral lysin contain neurotropic growth factors that promote the development of brain cells and synapses. Peptides can also stimulate the production of growth hormone, which plays a role in tissue repair and overall performance.
