Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- So GHKCU are known as copper peptide, very popular for the skin, but it also acts as a gene modulator, so it helps your genes to stay intact and not switch on or off based on how much stress you’re under.
- So your body’s making a compound, a peptide, to tell the body to release growth hormone.
- They just approved another one about three weeks ago for mitochondrial health called peptide SS31.
- And when they get to certain phases where it can show human safety, many times peptides will begin to get manufactured in compounding pharmacy for human use.
- regulation, I mean there’s so much that peptides are, they’re just an exciting new tool in the toolkit for healthcare providers and for the people who utilize them to help them move their health forward.
- don’t think it’s, if you ask somebody about semiglutide, a healthcare provider, and you said, tell me what category of compound that is, I’m not sure they would all go, that’s a peptide.
