Peptides are made from amino-acids, they are literally the ‘building blocks of life’ and are normally sourced via food. When two amino-acids connect, then they become known as a di-peptide. Today, many biologists consider this moment to infer the ability of ‘biological information’ to be transferred. As the length of these amino-acid chains grow, the names change; when between 3 and 6 they are called ‘short-chain peptides’ (otherwise known as bioregulators), and as the length of amino-acids increase further they change from being called peptides to being called proteins and then on to hormones. Indeed, some hormones like hGH have 191-amino acids and others like klotho can have over a thousand!

Science is now confirming that these peptides found in the diet can have profound effects upon tissues, glands and even organs. Over 40-years of published research has highlighted that short-chain peptides (bioregulators) can act as gene switches. This has massive implications for precision in health care and its management!
