What are peptides and how do they work?
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, typically consisting of 2 to 50 amino acids linked by peptide bonds. They are fundamental building blocks of proteins and play a crucial role in a wide range of biological processes.
What are the structure types of peptides?
Amino Acids: The structure of a peptide is determined by its amino acid sequence. There are 20 different amino acids that can combine in various ways to form thousands of unique peptides.
Peptide Bonds: Peptides are formed through a dehydration reaction between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another, resulting in a peptide bond.
What are different types of peptides?
Oligopeptides: Short chains of amino acids (2-20).
Polypeptides: Longer chains (20-50 amino acids).
Proteins: Longer chains (more than 50 amino acids) that fold into specific three-dimensional structures.
Why do we take peptides and their benefits?
Peptides might help reduce inflammation, which may relieve symptoms in addition to facilitating faster healing. They also may function as antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals and protecting cells from the damage they cause.
Improve function of the immune system. Reduce inflammation. Strengthen the skin barrier to fight bacteria and promote healing. Prevent blood clots.
How do peptides work?
Peptide hormones are synthesized locally and can travel to remote tissues with an implication for physiological growth and differentiation. The paracrine and perhaps autocrine actions of these peptide hormones contribute to the growth, survival, and functionality of the tissues on which they act.
Our approach to the science of peptides and how they optimize health in a way that's never been done.
Why Peptides?
They work. Not only did our founder heal herself through peptide therapy—beating years of long covid, body ailments, and a lifetime of digestive issues—we have seen incredible results with patients young and old. Peptides are the building blocks of vitality, and when we match the right peptides to your genetic profile, the results can be astounding.

What are the functions of peptides?
1. Cell Signaling: Many peptides act as hormones or signaling molecules, influencing various physiological processes. For example, insulin regulates glucose metabolism. 2. Immune Response: Peptides play a key role in the immune system, helping to recognize and respond to pathogens. 3. Antimicrobial Activity: Certain peptides, known as antimicrobial peptides, can destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi, serving as a natural defense mechanism. 4. Regenerative Processes: Peptides are involved in cell growth, repair, and regeneration, making them significant in areas like wound healing and tissue repair.
What are Celia peptides made from?
Many bioactive peptides, such as biogenic, opioid, immunomodulatory, salt/metal-binding, antihypertensive, and antimicrobial peptides, can be produced.
Where are Celia peptide products made?
We work with a lab that is FDA approved in 48 states to product peptides and manufacture high grade products with real benefits.
How did we come up with our peptide programs?
We were tired of seeing “one-size-fits-all” peptide programs. We spent four years working with more than 850 patients to understand how different peptides work with different gene makeups. Our programs are hyper-personalized where most others are overly-generalized.
How do we integrate peptides into everyday life?
1. Biotechnology: Peptides are used in drug development and as therapeutic agents. They can target specific receptors or pathways, leading to innovative treatments. 2. Skincare: In cosmetics, peptides are incorporated into products for their anti-aging effects, promoting collagen production and skin repair. 3. Nutrition: Peptides derived from proteins are gaining popularity in dietary supplements, offering benefits for muscle building and recovery.
What is peptide stacking? And what does it do?
Peptide stacks combine multiple peptides to amplify the effects of each compound and target specific physiological processes. They can promote muscle growth, increase lean muscle mass, and enhance recovery. Additionally, peptide stacks aid in weight loss and fat loss while preserving muscle mass.
More peptides can increase the results across many areas of the body all at once.
What makes Celia's peptides different?
Peptide products are specialized formulations that harness the power of peptides—short chains of amino acids that play a crucial role in various biological processes. These products are often used in skincare, nutrition, and therapeutic applications due to their ability to support cellular function, improve skin elasticity, and promote overall health. In the realm of nutrition our peptides are gaining attention for their potential to support muscle growth, recovery, and overall wellness. These supplements often contain bioactive peptides derived from proteins, which can enhance muscle protein synthesis and improve athletic performance. Our peptides are also being explored for their therapeutic potential in treating various conditions, including metabolic disorders and autoimmune diseases. Peptide therapies can target specific pathways in the body, offering a more precise approach to treatment.

Our state-of-the-art lab is located in the beautiful sunshine state of Florida, where most of our products originate. Some of our peptides are also shipped from California.
Help! I didn’t receive my product.
Please send your confirmation number, and we’ll get this figured out fast.
My product was shipped to the wrong address. Now what?
Oh no! Please send us your tracking information and the correct shipping address. If your package was shipped to the wrong address, the next step is to file a lost package report.
Do I get an update/notification on when my product will be delivered?
Yes, we will be emailing you a couple of times with order confirmation, tracking number, and shipment delivery confirmation.
What is Celia's return policy?
We do not accept any returns once a product is prescribed, or once a non-RX product has been opened.
Where the innovation around peptides is moving at Celia.
What's the future of peptides, in a nutshell?
Peptides for Treating Diseases: A Glimpse into the Future of Medical Innovation. Peptides' versatility and specificity have made them promising candidates for treating diseases that have long eluded conventional medicine.
What time of R&D is Celia doing for peptides?
Our ongoing research into peptides includes exploring their potential in personalized medicine, understanding their role in complex biological systems, and developing new synthetic peptides for therapeutic use. Advances in techniques like peptide synthesis and mass spectrometry have facilitated this research, allowing for a deeper understanding of peptide functions and applications. All of our products are a part of research and development to focus on the benefits of peptides for long-term health.
How does genetic testing fit into the future of peptides?
Not everyone has the same genetics or is in the same place on their health journey. Through our biomarket DNA genetic testing, we have found different combinations of genes that all affect one another to figure out the best peptides for you in the present moment. Our goal is through this information we plan to help people prevent disease faster and with less stress on their life's journey to a quality and optimized life.
