Collagen Peptides- Summary
- Kisspeptin-10 is the biologically active C-terminal decapeptide of kisspeptin, an endogenous regulator of the reproductive axis. It acts upstream of GnRH to potently stimulate LH and testosterone release, and plays a key role in sexual arousal and libido.
- Collagen peptides are short-chain amino acid sequences produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of whole collagen (typically bovine or marine). They serve as bioactive signals that stimulate fibroblasts and chondrocytes to produce new collagen, elastin, and cartilage matrix, supporting skin, joint, bone, and gut health.
- Half-Life
- ~4 minutes (rapidly degraded); longer-acting analogs like TAK-448 are in development
- N/A — food-derived; absorbed peptides circulate for hours, depot accumulation in tissues
