Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as powerful signaling molecules throughout the body, influencing everything from metabolism and inflammation to skin health, muscle repair, and hormonal balance. Because they work at the cellular level, peptides are increasingly studied for their potential roles in longevity, metabolic health, cognitive function, and women’s wellness.

For women, peptides are especially relevant as they intersect with key areas such as insulin sensitivity, weight regulation, perimenopause and menopause symptoms, cardiovascular health, and tissue repair. While some peptides occur naturally in the body, others are used in clinical or research settings to support targeted biological pathways.

This tag brings together guides, expert insights, and evidence‑based explanations on how peptides work, what the research shows, and where they may fit into broader health strategies. Content here focuses on clarity, safety, and scientific literacy; helping women understand the promise, limitations, and ongoing debates surrounding peptide therapies.
