A short YouTube clip by Joy Kong, MD introducing peptides as naturally occurring short chains of amino acids found throughout tissues and organs. The speaker states there are over 7,000 discovered peptides, notes that a few dozen are commonly used clinically, and says she uses peptides in her clinic to augment other regenerative medicine treatments.
Peptides are these naturally occurring molecules made up of amino acids, and they're short chains, amino acids that can perform all kinds of very specific functions in the body. They exist in every tissue and, you know, in every organ. And there are over 7,000 of them that we've discovered. And clinically, probably a few dozens are the most commonly used ones. And I incorporate a lot of them in my clinic to help boost the benefits of the other regenerative medicine treatments I do.
