What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short amino acid sequences—typically 2 to 50 amino acids long—that function as signaling molecules in your body. They’re smaller than proteins but powerful enough to trigger specific biological responses by binding to cellular receptors.

Think of peptides as molecular instructions. Your body uses them to regulate hormone levels, repair damaged tissue, control inflammation, and manage aging processes. Research peptides are synthetic compounds designed to enhance or replicate these natural functions.

At AllAboutPeptides.com, we provide evidence-based education on research peptides studied for longevity, anti-aging, athletic performance, metabolic health, and therapeutic applications. Our content distinguishes between FDA-approved peptide medications and research compounds still under investigation. Whether you’re a researcher, clinician, or health optimizer, we give you the scientific foundation to understand how these molecules work and what the current research shows.
