The most common adverse events reported by patients are GI-related.

Gastrointestinal Adverse Events Associated with GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: Causes and Mitigation

GLP-1RAs, including dual and triple receptor agonists, are a relatively new class of weight loss drugs that have become increasingly popular over the past few years. They effectively reduce body weight by acting on receptors in the body that control appetite, insulin secretion and metabolism. Since these receptors are found in different tissues across the […]

Muscle Atrophy: An Inevitable Side Effect of Weight Loss?

You might think you haven’t heard of weight-loss peptides, but you most likely have, under brand names such as Wegovy and Saxenda. Weight loss peptides are delivering unprecedented results, transforming the approach to managing obesity and obesity-related illnesses.  Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide represent the cutting edge of pharmacological weight reduction, with clinical trials demonstrating body […]

Weight loss peptides act on receptors in the brain to alter mood and behaviour

Peptides That Stimulate Lipolysis: How They Alter Behaviour

Some of the latest and most effective peptides for stimulating lipolysis work by targeting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP-1R). These drugs work by altering metabolism, regulating blood sugar levels and promoting a feeling of satiety. Many new drugs have been developed that target not only GLP-1R but also glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon (GCG) receptors […]

Can Peptides Change the Future of Cardiovascular Health?

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, affecting millions of individuals each year, making it one of the most explored areas of medicine. Cardiovascular health can be influenced by genetics, health and lifestyle factors, so there are things that can be done to improve an individual’s cardiovascular health.  As researchers continue to explore […]

Clinical trials on weight loss peptides mean there may soon be more weight loss options available

Peptides for the Treatment of Obesity: An Update on Clinical Findings

With weight-related diseases at an all-time high, controlling body weight is becoming increasingly important. While we know that physical activity and mindful diet choices can promote fat loss, the emergence of the weight loss peptide, semaglutide, has popularised a new way of managing weight. By altering the activity of specific receptors in the body, researchers […]

3 Peptides That Improve Liver Health

A healthy-functioning liver is crucial to overall health. Every day, a liver performs over 500 vital functions, such as filtering toxins, producing bile to allow for digestion, storing essential vitamins and minerals, and regulating blood sugar levels. A poorly functioning liver negatively affects other areas of the body.  Millions of people globally are affected by […]

Weight loss peptides change body composition in more than one way

Peptides That Can Alter Body Composition

Several powerful drugs have been developed that can promote weight loss. These are peptides that target receptors in the body that control metabolism and behaviour. But how exactly are these drugs affecting body weight and why might this matter? This article will go over the importance of body composition over simply measuring body weight, the […]

Can Peptides Suppress Hunger?

Hunger suppression has become one of the most researched areas in metabolic health, and peptides are emerging as leading tools in weight loss. But can peptides suppress hunger? Peptides are naturally occurring chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules in your body. They communicate with various receptors to influence everything from metabolism to […]

Some people benefit from using tanning peptides before going out into the sun.

Tanning Peptides: Who Benefits From Them?

Skin typically responds to UV exposure by expressing melanin, the pigment responsible for the tanned look of skin. This is a natural and beneficial response, but not all people can produce adequate melanin or are particularly susceptible to UV damage, leading to an increased risk of damage and disease. This article will go over the […]

peptides that help with sleep

Peptides That Help With Sleep

Struggling to get a decent night’s sleep? You’re not alone. Research shows that around 30-50% of adults don’t get the sleep they need, and the knock-on effects can be serious, from mood swings and brain fog to increased risk of heart problems and metabolic issues. There are numerous sleep aids on the market, from environment-enhancing […]
