PEPTIDES: Your questions answered. - There is so much interest in peptides nowadays. A peptide is simply a small (usually bioactive) protein, or in some cases a larger protein (polypeptide), but nowadays the majority of interest in the health sphere seems to be about peptides that control the release of other hormones (GH, IGF1, etc.), or that are involved in tissue repair and vascular growth (e.g., gut peptides), and in some cases neuron health. - I am preparing a Huberman Lab podcast episode all about peptide, both some of the potential benefits and the very real safety considerations and concerns. - Please put any questions you have in the comments section below this post, and as always thank you for your interest in science! - @hubermanlab @stanford.med @stanford #science #neuroscience #ciencia #neuroplasticity #peptides #health
