02 / Function & context
One category. Many different roles.
Some naturally occurring peptides act as signals in the body. Others are studied for specific applications. A finding about one peptide does not establish a benefit for another.

The essentials / 01—03
A foundation.
Not a shortcut.
Start with what peptides are. Then look at how they work—and why context matters more than a promising headline.
01 / The building blocks
What is a peptide?
A peptide is a chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Amino acids also form proteins; peptides are generally shorter chains.
Sequence matters: the order and number of amino acids help determine a peptide’s structure and biological activity.
03 / Reading the evidence
Ask what the research actually shows.
Was the study conducted in cells, animals, or humans? What was measured? Early research is not the same as established safety, clinical effectiveness, or regulatory approval.
