I often see posts of questions asking if there is a peptide that will help weight loss or a peptide that will help detox the body. peptides are powerful cellular messages. But they are not a replacement for good decisions and discipline. As a result many people will be disappointed in the end result of the peptide exploration. In order for peptides to even work in the first place, you must remove the insult that is causing the problem. As an example, many people are looking for peptides to resolve their rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. All autoimmune disorders start in the gut. Your diet affects your gut. So it can be said that your diet is the reason you have rheumatoid arthritis. If you attempt to use a peptide to reverse your rheumatoid arthritis, without first eliminating the source of the disease, it's not going to work. What...

Unfortunately, almost all drugs have the potential to cause some type of allergic and immunogenic response. However, what are the prevalence of these reactions with peptides? “Biological drugs” are a class of medication which are partially or completely chemically constituted by amino acids that are linked to each other forming peptides and proteins. The basic distinguishing factor between peptides and proteins are size and structure. Traditionally, peptides are much smaller compared to proteins; consisting of 2-50 amino acids while proteins are made up of 50 or more. Further, peptides tend to be less defined in structure than proteins as proteins can adopt complex conformations known as secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures. Proteins tend to give cells their shape and respond to signals transmitted from an extracellular environment. peptides play key roles in regulating the activities of other molecules. Although the differences between proteins and peptides are subtle, there may be an...

Leaky gut allows undigested bad actors to find their way into the bloodstream where the immune system goes, “Hey, those aren't supposed to be here. Let's go after them.” While the bad actors are being attacked by your immune system, the important tissue is also under attack. Leaky gut has been associated with just about every type of autoimmune disorder among many other things. Wade Lightheart of BiOptimizers tells us we are all in a certain state of attack due to the way our diets have changed over the last 80 years, particularly since the advent of monoculture farming factory farming, the change in food, production and distribution, as well as genetic modification herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and food dyes, all now common to our diet. These things aren't recognizable by our bodies. Our society’s chemicalization, heavy metals in fish products, the chemical components in grains, etc. cause a variety of problems....

Chitosan is a popular food-based supplement derived from the shells of crustaceans and the cell walls of mushrooms, advertised to lower blood cholesterol levels and aid weight loss through reducing the absorption of dietary fat. Whether these claims hold up in the absence of dietary modifications was recently investigated by Trivedi et al, who recruited 86 middle-aged, overweight and obese adults to consume 2.5 grams of chitosan or placebo per day for 90 days. The randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study was simple – have the participants consume one capsule of their supplement in the morning, 2 capsules 15 min before lunch, and 2 capsules 15 min before dinner with a glass of water. Each capsule contained 500 mg of chitosan or cellulose (placebo). The chitosan group showed a significant 2% weight loss (on average) after 45 days, which increased to a 4% weight loss by 90 days. Notably, one-third of the chitosan group had...
