Peptides: side effects

Peptides are by no means a novelty in bodybuilding. Their unique effect on the human body has been noticed for a long time and since then these substances have been used in the manufacture of various vaccines and preparations. Today peptides are a part of medicines and in cosmetology, and in sports. The secret of popularity of peptides is simple - they are the smallest nano-molecules that easily penetrate into tissues, transporting the necessary elements.

Peptides: benefit and harm

Allocating various "pros" and "against" peptides, it is worthwhile to consider the cases in which it is shown to use these substances. The purpose of using peptides can be any item from this list:

• restoration of the functions and tissues of the bronchopulmonary system;
• restoration of the functional activity of organs and tissues;
• normalization of liver and pancreas;
• increase mental and physical performance;
• restoration of cardiovascular system;
• normalization of carbohydrate metabolism;
• strengthening the immune system;
• slowing the rate of aging;
• normalization of melatonin level.

Based on this, we can talk about the multifaceted benefits of peptides, which they can bring to health. Substances that help to cope with such problems affect the body very positively. As far as the harm of peptides is concerned, it is generally associated with improper use of peptides, as well as with insufficient knowledge of this substance at the present stage of the development of science.

Peptides: side effects

Are peptides harmful in bodybuilding? In this area they have been used for a long time. And since peptides are chemically synthesized substances, identical to those that exist in the human body, they are considered quite acceptable.

Many athletes are interested in the question - are they dangerous, and if so, what are the dangerous peptides? Traditionally, they are used in sports, as substances that can stimulate growth hormone. Usually, either structural peptides, or functional ones, are used.

1. Structural peptides carry a lot of essential amino acids and help in recruiting muscle mass, and also stimulate metabolism. In such peptides, side effects are the potential for protein poisoning, which leads to inhibition of liver and kidney function.
2. Functional peptides make it easy to gain muscle mass, increasing the secretion of growth hormone, giving a very strong effect. However, the side effect of peptides of this kind is quite serious - the unpredictability of the result. To lose weight use functional peptides, in particular - glucagon (leptin), which increases the production of growth hormone several times, reduces metabolism, reduces appetite and the need for sweet food and promotes fat burning.

For all the temptation of peptides, not every athlete is ready to bet on imagine the experiments and find out what effect will turn out in his particular case. The fact is that, like any chemically synthesized substance, peptides affect different organisms in different ways. That is, taking it, you can not know for sure how many times the secretion of growth hormone will increase, and what will be the result. Two athletes who take peptides under the same conditions can get completely different results because of the individual characteristics of the organism.

Take such sports nutrition or not - everyone decides for himself. In general, peptides have no contraindications and, in terms of logic, can not seriously harm the body, unless, of course, you observe dosages and do not poison your body with killer doses.
