Advantage: Convenient, familiar, non-invasive Challenge: Peptides face proteolytic degradation in the stomach and small intestine Bioavailability: Estimated at approximately 38% based on comparative pharmacology (see below) Transdermal (Patch) Some researchers have explored transdermal patches to deliver peptides: Advantage: Avoids first-pass metabolism and GI degradation Challenge: Intact skin is a strong barrier to peptide penetration Feasibility: Not commonly available commercially
While proteins can be hundreds of amino acids long, peptides typically consist of 2 to 50 amino acids
