Supplementing with specific and targeted peptides may not be in the cards for everyone.However, peptides are easier to come by than you may think . . . our body makes them!
A peptide is created in the body from eating protein. When we eat protein (either animal or plant based) our body breaks the complex protein molecule into individual amino acids. These amino acids are then reconfigured in the body by being combined together in thousands of different variations. These combinations of amino acids are what we recognize as peptides.
Eating a diet that is protein rich promotes and supports the creation of peptides in our body. While these peptides may not be specifically targeted (which you’d get from supplementing), you will be able to support your body’s inherent functioning and needs.
But how much protein do I need to eat?
The amount a person needs is not same from human to human. Protein needs are highly individualized, and working with a nutritionist can help you determine just how much YOU need.
