How To Take Peptides:

💉 1. Injections (Subcutaneous or Intramuscular)

This is the most effective and common method, especially for therapeutic or performance-enhancing peptides.

How it works:

• Peptides are injected under the skin (subcutaneous) or into the muscle (intramuscular).
• This bypasses the digestive system, so the peptide enters the bloodstream directly and stays active longer.

Pros:

• 💪 High bioavailability (your body absorbs it well)
• ⏱ Fast-acting
• 🎯 Precise dosing

Cons:

• 🩹 Requires needles and proper technique
• 🧊 Often needs refrigeration
• 🧑‍⚕️ May require medical supervision

💊 2. Oral Peptides (Capsules or Tablets)

Some peptides are designed to survive digestion and be absorbed through the gut.

How it works:

• You swallow a pill, and the peptide is absorbed through the intestinal lining.
• Only certain peptides are stable enough to work this way.

Pros:

• 🫶 Easy and convenient
• 🧳 Travel-friendly

Cons:

• 🧪 Lower bioavailability (many peptides break down in the stomach)
• 🧬 Limited to specific types

🌿 3. Topical Peptides (Creams, Serums, Sprays)

Used mostly in cosmetic and skincare products.

How it works:

• Peptides are absorbed through the skin to target surface-level issues like wrinkles, dryness, or inflammation.

Pros:

• 🧖‍♀️ Non-invasive
• 💄 Great for skin health

Cons:

• 🧬 Limited penetration (won’t affect deeper tissues or systemic functions)
• 🧴 Mostly cosmetic, not therapeutic

🧪 4. Nasal Sprays

Some peptides can be absorbed through the nasal mucosa.

How it works:

• You spray the peptide into your nose, and it enters the bloodstream or brain through the nasal lining.

Pros:

• 🧠 Good for brain-targeted peptides
• 🫁 Fast absorption

Cons:

• 🧬 Not all peptides work this way
• 👃 Can irritate nasal passages
