A peptide is a short chain of amino acids that are linked together and can be thought of as a small protein. To date, over 7,000 naturally-occurring peptides have been identified.

In our bodies, these small proteins typically act as signaling molecules. They bind to receptors on the cell surface and tell other cells and molecules what to do.

Most of these peptide drugs are administered via subcutaneous injections, but can also come in the form of transdermal creams, nasal sprays, and oral tablets.

Sermorlin is the latest in growth hormone peptide combinations. Benefits include longer binding time to growth hormone receptors, no risk of receptor saturation, none of the side effects of earlier peptides, and a strong safety & efficacy profile.
