Editorial Peptide Therapy: The Future of Medicine

Peptides are a misunderstood supplement within the medical community primarily because the information available is based on animal studies, FDA Phase 3 trials, or anecdotal evidence. Peptides and proteins are polymers of amino acids. Generally, polymers having less than 100 amino acids are known as peptides [1]; those with 100 or more are known as proteins. Peptides are formed from protein breakdown, and their structure and function are determined by the sequence and spatial arrangement of amino acids within them.
