The market for health supplements has grown significantly over the past few years. This has largely been driven by an aging population as well as one that has embraced health as a lifestyle instead of merely a goal. As more people are taking steps to take care of their health, this has led to an influx of capital that is being used by companies such as Paradigm Peptides to produce more supplements that can benefit people in different ways. Some of the most popular peptides today include collagen peptides (used to help people slow the aging process) and creatine peptides (used to help people improve their athletic performance). At the same time, research is still ongoing in the area of peptides. There are a few emerging frontiers in this market that people need to know.

One possible emerging product is the development of copper peptides. Some people are calling this one of the most unique peptides to be developed to date. This is a chain of amino acids that has been joined with copper in a unique way. While copper can be toxic to the body at high levels, low levels of copper are still required for certain enzymatic functions in the body. Therefore, it is important for people to maintain appropriate levels of copper in the body. This supplement is going to help people do exactly that.

Another popular emerging peptide is called a pentapeptide. This basically means that the peptide is made up of five separate components. One example is called palmitoyl pentapeptide. This peptide is being developed to help people reduce the impacts of aging on the skin. In theory, this peptide should infiltrate the lower layers of the skin and increase the production of collagen. This should increase the firmness of the skin, reducing wrinkles and helping people look and feel younger.

Finally, there is also another peptide that is being produced to reduce inflammation called tetrapeptide-7. By reducing inflammation throughout the body, this should help people deal with nagging aches and pains. It will be interesting to see exactly how this peptide is manufactured.

These are only a few of the numerous areas of active research in the world of peptides. As more capital continues to flow into this market, more research is going to be done as well. As a result, people should see more peptides on the shelves of local pharmacies and grocery stores over the next few years. The goal is to give consumers the power to take control of their own health.
