Peptide Basics

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks that make up proteins. Unlike larger proteins, peptides are smaller and easier for the body to absorb and use. They serve as messengers, signaling cells to perform specific functions that support healing, growth, repair, and protection throughout the body.

Peptides naturally occur in the human body and play a vital role in processes such as:

• Tissue regeneration

• Immune system regulation

• Hormone production

• Skin and collagen health

• Metabolic function and weight management

How Do Peptides Work?

Peptides bind to specific receptors on the surface of cells, acting as triggers that activate key biological responses. Depending on their structure, different peptides can stimulate:

• Faster tissue repair

• Reduction of inflammation

• Enhanced muscle growth

• Improved immune resilience

• Greater skin elasticity and hydration

Because peptides are naturally broken down into amino acids once they have completed their task, they tend to be safe, well-tolerated, and highly targeted in their effects.

Why Are Peptides Important for Wellness?

As we age, natural peptide production declines, leading to slower healing, reduced collagen production, weakened immunity, and decreased energy. By supplementing with targeted peptides, we can help restore the body’s optimal function and promote:

• Youthful skin and joint health

• Faster recovery from exercise or injury

• Better metabolic balance

• Stronger immune protection

• Improved cognitive performance and mood

In short, peptides offer a scientific approach to preventative care and overall vitality.

Types of Peptides

There are thousands of known peptides, but at Haven Wellness, we focus on the ones most relevant to everyday health and healing, including:

• BCP 157 – Supports tissue repair and gut health

• Epitalon – Promotes longevity and cellular health
