Side effects and hazards of peptides

I. Side effects of peptides

1. Mechanics

Peptides are compounds composed of amino acids, and some people may develop an immune response to specific amino acid sequences in the peptide or to the overall structure of the peptide. When the immune system recognizes a peptide as an external harmful substance, it produces antibodies and causes an allergic reaction. This allergic reaction can be immediate or delayed.

2. Presentation of symptoms

Mild allergic reactions may include itchy skin, rash, urticaria, and other skin symptoms. In more severe cases, symptoms of anaphylactic shock such as dyspnea, laryngeal edema, and decreased blood pressure may occur, a very dangerous condition that requires immediate medical attention.

II.Hazards

1, gastrointestinal discomfort: long-term use of peptides will lead to the accumulation of proteins in the body, affecting gastrointestinal peristalsis, these proteins can not be normally absorbed and wasted by the human body, may appear abdominal, dyspepsia, dry stool, constipation and other symptoms.

2, obesity: if the peptide contains more sugar or fat, long-term use of the peptide can easily lead to excessive calories in the body, if not timely through physical exercise to consume calories, it will significantly increase body weight.

3. Skin damage: if people with low constitution take peptides for a long time, they may have skin erythema, papule rash, irritating skin epidermis, and rough skin.

4, liver function damage: long-term use of peptides will increase the burden of liver detoxification, resulting in liver function damage, and even liver failure.
