Functional peptides

Functional peptides are compounds of protein nature, assimilated by the body in its original form. In the practice of bodybuilding, they are used to gain muscle mass and get rid of subcutaneous fat deposits. At the same time, some amino acid preparations of this group contribute to the increase of muscle tone, improve sleep, stimulate the healing of injuries, provide a quick and intense tan, enhance libido, stimulate the secretion of testosterone.

The principle of action and the main effects of functional peptides

Synthetic functional peptides, used in the practice of bodybuilding for muscle mass gain, enhance the work of endocrine glands producing growth hormone, testosterone and insulin-like factor (IGF-1). They have a pronounced anabolic effect, increasing in 7-15 times the secretion of somatropin, accelerate metabolic processes, strengthen ligaments and stimulate the body's immune forces.

Peptides for weight loss in 2-4 times accelerate the metabolism and production of STH, suppress appetite, increase the burning of subcutaneous fat deposits.

Some peptide drugs used in bodybuilding, simultaneously promote the collection of muscle mass and stimulate the breakdown of subcutaneous fat.

All functional peptides without exception are hormonal support preparations, however, unlike synthetic hormones, they do not lead to a malfunction in the endocrine system.

Representatives of functional peptides

For muscle mass gain: Hexarelin (GHRP-6), GHRP-2, Ipamorelin, Somatocrinin, CJC1295 DAC;

For burning fat: HGH frag 176-191, Glucagon, Leptin;

To stimulate tan and enhance libido: Melanotan II;

To increase the production of testosterone: Gonadorelin;

For the treatment of injuries and rapid recovery: TB 500.

Advantages of Functional Peptides

The main advantage of synthetic functional peptides is their cost: they are several times cheaper than artificial growth hormone. However, these drugs have a different mechanism of action and different half-lives, due to which they can independently control the anabolic effect. They are very quickly destroyed in the body and are not determined when checking for the detection of the fact of doping. And, finally, the production and sale of peptides is absolutely legal. However, in order to acquire truly high-quality products, it should only be purchased from trusted suppliers working directly with official manufacturers.
