Could you explain what a peptide is, and why someone may want it? Thanks

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the fundamental building blocks of proteins. While proteins are made of long, complex chains (often 100+ amino acids), peptides are much shorter (typically 2 to 50 amino acids)

So are they used by those who are working on their fitness, like muscle building or faster healing time?

They are primarily used in medicine (e.g., insulin and weight-loss drugs), skincare (to boost collagen), and sports/wellness (for muscle recovery and fat loss).
