Описание: Peptides have taken over the internet — especially in the world of weight loss, anti-aging, and metabolic health.
But what are peptides actually?
In this video, registered dietitian Melissa breaks down:
• What peptides are (in simple terms)
• Why they’re trending right now
• The most popular peptides on the market
• How GLP-1 medications work
• The truth about retatrutide
• The risks of unregulated or research-grade products
• Why muscle preservation matters during fat loss
GLP-1 medications are one of the most impactful medical advancements we’ve seen for obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, they are not magic — and they must be used responsibly, under proper medical supervision, and alongside adequate protein intake and resistance training.
Retatrutide, currently in Phase 3 clinical trials, is not yet approved for prescription use. If you are seeing it being sold online, it is important to understand the safety and regulatory risks involved.
At Body20, we focus on sustainable fat loss, muscle preservation, and long-term metabolic health — not quick fixes.
If you’re currently using GLP-1 therapy or considering it, speak to a qualified healthcare professional and ensure you are protecting your lean muscle mass and nutritional status.
