The Peptide Files | A Brief History + What You Need to Know
Before peptides became the latest trend in wellness, recovery, and longevity, their story began more than 100 years ago.
In the early 1900s, scientists first identified the peptide bond — the tiny link that joins amino acids together and forms the foundation of proteins and many of the body’s natural signaling molecules.
One of the first life-changing peptide therapies was insulin, discovered in 1921 and still one of the most important medical breakthroughs in history.
Fast forward to today, and names like BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, and Ipamorelin are everywhere.
