LATEST AROUND THE INDUSTRY

Therapeutic Peptides

Peptide therapies have become increasingly popular due to the ability to help build lean muscle, shed weight, increase energy, improve skin appearance, amongst other benefits. With the increasing popularity and improvements in peptide production this has allowed compounded preparations to become more readily available. Wider availability has allowed ARL to test a variety of natural and modified peptides that cover multiple therapeutic areas.
