Weight loss peptides: their role in metabolic health
Peptides are commonly used to strengthen the body, help lose weight and treat metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia.
Growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) is a type of peptide that increases/decreases weight by stimulating the release of growth hormone. Growth hormone promotes fat breakdown, the process of breaking down stored fat into smaller molecules for energy, as well as protein synthesis to help reduce fat and increase muscle mass.
