Will Amino Acids Provide Peptides? 

I take JoMar Labs Black Label amino acids orally.  Will that provide peptides systematically as needed or do peptides need to be delivered as peptides? As you get older, there are things that are impacting your own natural endogenous peptides. Sometimes when it comes to growth hormone releasing hormone you have the ability to release just as much growth hormone in your 80s as you do when you're in your teens.  But it's not happening and a lot of times it has to do with the way ghrelin's are working with the signaling.  So you can actually put these peptides together, signal the pituitary to do its normal function.  Taking amino acids is important and obviously, having a supply of all the essential amino acids available in your body for your body to build things is a good idea.  But it won't necessarily create the peptides that you need for whatever problem you're trying to address. I think that's the best answer.  So yes, amino acids are good but they won't necessarily produce the peptides that you need to get that effect that you're looking for.
