Why do some bodybuilders use Peptides

[TalkAdmin]

Becoming a professional bodybuilder is not an easy goal. Becoming a bodybuilder involves hour after hour, month after month & year after year of pouring out sweat & pushing oneself to their limits within the gym. And after an extended period of time, like a sculpture stepping back to look at his work, the weightlifter’s aesthetically pleasing body emerges. In order to achieve this amazingly difficult physical feat, body Builders take the help of protein supplements & Peptides. These supplements are taken not only to bulk up, but also due to the fact that our body needs to maintain a particular level of Proteins to work properly.

If someone works out for a considerable amount of time without taking any Supplements, then he is starving his body of necessary nutrients required by it. This is why body Builders use Peptides & supplements, while also consuming huge quantities of healthy food.
Peptides are naturally occurring biological compounds. Sometimes confused with proteins, they are actually the building blocks of Proteins. Peptides although discuss mainly by the scientific community for their wide range of uses, these naturally occurring supplements have found a place on par with muscle building supplements in the weightlifting circle.

The most common peptides use in body Building are IGF, MGF & SARM. They are known for their amazing healing properties. They help muscles and soft tissues to rebuild themselves faster after they have been torn or ruptured. Peptides have an anabolic effect on the muscle mark, increasing it 5 times faster than natural. This is one of the prime reasons why bodybuilders love this substance. Hex, a widely used peptide is used for the post recovery purpose, while IGF-1R is used for gaining muscle. The newest generation of peptides is atypical of Side effects unlike their older counterparts.


Peptides are usually fluffy, freeze-dried material in a serum vial and stored in a freezer. In order to reconstitute the peptide, distilled water or a buffer solution is used.
Most peptides have a low solubility in water and therefor must be dissolved in other solvents like acetic acid(6 to 10%) for a positively charged peptide.
Minimal amount of non-aqueous solvents and water should be used to make up the desired volume. Peptides must be used quickly after reconstituted to avoid degradation in solution.


Peptides, although very useful for bodybuilding, should never be consumed without taking the advice of an experienced doctor.

Does anyone have a favorite peptide protocol or combination?

Never tried any GH releasing peptides, but I definitely love me some IGF-1 LR3. It's a game changer when added to any cycle.

My two favorites are PT-141 and Melanotan II.

Are there ways to naturally increase your peptides and growth hormone? What are your experiences with supplementing with peptides?

I used this years ago when it first came out from what I have read lately I'll give it a chance agin soon

Peptides are smaller proteins, anything that has lower than fifty amino acids. Even in our body, we have natural peptides, some are hormones and others are neurotransmitters. I think one of the benefits of taking peptides is that they are readily absorbed by the body. They are also more stable and has therefore more effects on the body.

Probably the most controversial peptides are the HGH types like IGF-1 and GHRP. They help in increasing muscle mass and decreasing body fat. I have also read about Melanotan which is supposedly for tanning the skin, but that's another topic.

More and more bodybuilders are taking peptide supplements and injectables as well. It's important though to research first and know the drug's effects before taking them. Better yet, consult a professional to minimise the risks.

Yes, since they are also naturally found in our body and are the building blocks they are recommended. They are also easily absorbed. Excess of which I suppose will be broken down and be eliminated with minimal side effects to the user hence are relatively safer than steroids.
