What are Peptides and what is Peptide Fueling™?
Before we dive into Equine Performance™, we need to understand what peptides are.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins in a body. Like the beads on a bracelet, amino acids link together to form peptides. Peptides typically contain between two and 50 amino acids in a chain. Each protein in a body is made up of a single chain consisting of 20 or more amino acids, which is known as a polypeptide. The polypeptides are linked together by a chemical bond called a peptide bond.
Each of these chains contains amino acids linked together in a specific order, which determines the peptide’s function and structure. Since the early 20th century, scientists have been studying peptides due to their vital role in various biological activities (wound healing, immune response, hormone regulation, and cellular communication). Over time, research has explored their potential in therapeutics, leading to the development of peptide-based drugs and health supplements.
For years, the reliance on vitamin supplementation has been a go-to strategy for many, but the promise often falls short of the expectation. The inconsistent outcomes of traditional vitamin supplements have left many searching for a more effective approach.
Enter Peptide Fueling™, a scientifically driven method that is poised to replace vitamin supplementation with natural peptide supplementation. It’s more than a trend—it’s a response to a growing understanding a body’s complex needs. Daily Peptide Fueling™ provides a body with optimal cellular and hormonal conditions to perform at the highest level.
