Peptide therapies use short chains of amino acids called peptides to help regulate important body functions such as hormones, metabolism, immune response, and tissue repair. Since peptides naturally exist in the body, these therapies are designed to work in a targeted way, often with fewer side effects compared to traditional drugs.
Peptide therapeutics are being studied and used for conditions like diabetes, hormone disorders, and tissue healing. Ongoing research is also expanding their use in regenerative medicine and other advanced treatments.
