Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. They support cell repair, hormone balance, and skin health. At Above Wellness, every peptide protocol is reviewed and approved by a licensed provider before being filled by an FDA-regulated pharmacy, ensuring quality, safety, and transparency.
Whether your goal is improved skin health, better recovery, or enhanced energy, understanding what are peptides and what do peptides do is the first step toward a personalised wellness plan that fits your lifestyle.
Peptides are naturally occurring molecules made up of short chains of amino acids connected by peptide bonds. And these chains of amino acids are the precursor of all kinds of proteins in the body. While proteins contain hundreds or thousands of amino acids, a peptide itself comes down to this: a chain of typically 2 to 50 amino acids linked together [1].
Ultimately, these peptide molecules are the protein building blocks that your body uses to perform every essential function throughout your body. More importantly peptides act as messengers in your body, signaling cells to carry out specific instructions like repairing tissue, producing collagen, or regulating hormones.
Here is a simple way to visualize it:
Amino acids → Peptides → Proteins
Amino acids are the individual letters. Peptides are the words. Proteins are the sentences. Your body uses all three to communicate and function properly.
Naturally occurring peptides form key structural proteins like collagen and elastin, which keep your skin firm and your joints flexible. Understanding what peptides do starts with recognizing their role as fundamental signaling molecules that keep your body running smoothly.
Now that you know what peptides are, let's explore what peptides do in your body. Peptides function as cell messengers. Think of them as text instructions your cells send to trigger specific actions. When a peptide binds to a receptor on a cell's surface, it delivers instructions that can change how that cell behaves.
Here are some of the popular functions specific peptides can perform:
Recent research from 2024 shows that bioactive peptides modulate the tissue environment by controlling reactive oxygen species, immune cells, and repair cells to promote tissue healing and reduce harmful inflammation [4]. This cellular communication system explains why peptides extend into so many areas of health and wellness.
Naturally occurring peptides are constantly at work in your body, ensuring that cells receive the right signals at the right time. Whether you are healing from a workout or maintaining healthy skin, peptides are part of the process.
Peptides have been part of medicine for over a century. The first therapeutic peptide, insulin, was discovered in 1921, transforming diabetes care and paving the way for today’s peptide-based therapies.
In modern wellness, peptides are used to support the body’s natural systems — improving skin health, recovery, metabolism, and immune balance. Their applications are diverse and backed by growing scientific evidence, from skincare and tissue repair to gut and hormone regulation.
Here’s how peptides work across the body’s key systems:
Peptides are widely used in skincare products and treatments to reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and boost collagen production.
Beyond skincare, peptides play key roles in physical recovery and metabolism. Research shows collagen peptides can help repair connective tissue, reduce muscle soreness, and support post-exercise recovery [3].
A 2024 integrative review found that hydrolyzed collagen supplementation improved skin elasticity, joint comfort, and muscle recovery in both aging and athletic populations [9].
Some fat loss peptides have been researched for their potential to support weight management by influencing metabolism and hormone signaling. However, these should only be used under medical supervision as part of a comprehensive wellness plan.
Peptides are rapidly growing discussion in the health and wellness industry. New peptides are being found every single day. And they truly represent the future of medicine. Since peptide therapy is not just about addressing isolated symptoms. It is about supporting your body's natural processes to help you feel your best across multiple dimensions of health.
Recent research demonstrates that peptides modulate the tissue microenvironment, control inflammation, and promote repair at the cellular level [4]. This comprehensive action makes peptides valuable tools in personalized wellness strategies.
