01 / The building blocks
What is a peptide?
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids. The way these building blocks are linked helps define the chain’s properties.
Peptides
Short chains of amino acids joined by peptide bonds.
Proteins
Longer amino-acid chains that fold into three-dimensional structures.
Simplified structural illustrations; not molecular models of a specific ingredient.

02 / Peptide origins
From cod. To a peptide complex.
All three current FAST formulas contain a peptide complex derived from cod (Gadus morhua). Each combines this source with its own selection of ingredients.
Protein source
Cod provides the source material for the peptide complex.
Peptide fragments
Hydrolysis breaks larger protein chains into smaller fragments.
The formulation
The peptide complex is combined with the other ingredients listed on each product label.
About IPH® technology
Ideal Pharma Peptide describes IPH® as its controlled hydrolysis approach to producing peptide complexes from natural protein sources.

04 / Research & evidence
Understand the research.
Start with the question a study asks. Then look at what was tested, how the work was conducted, and how it relates to a formulation.
Review / 2012
How food proteins become peptides
A review of methods used to produce and process food-derived peptides, and why their structure matters.
Study context
The authors review existing research, rather than test a FAST product. They highlight absorption, biological availability, and the need for further safety and human research.

A closer look at IPH® PRO
A publication combining cell, animal, and human observations of the IPH PRO complex.
Study context
The authors report changes in biological markers and clinical measures. The human component compares outcomes with baseline. Its capsule regimen differs from FAST Ultimate Force; it is not a trial of the finished FAST formula.
