Any substances mentioned below are just for example... my question is about the differences between peptide combinations of drugs and the "normal" molecular combination of supplements.

For example, what makes Noopept a glycine-pyrollidine peptide? Why isn't the GABA-Niacin combination, Picamilon, a peptide drug?

Is a peptide a kind of special molecule that can be put between two other molecules that binds them together in a unique manner?

Excuse my ignorance on this subject, but I'm very curious to learn more about this. Thanks in advance guys/girls

https://secure.wikim...en/wiki/Peptide Peptides are basically a class of chemicals, more accurately a number of amino acids chained to gether (generally up to around 50, after that they are called proteins)

Ok... so niacin mixed with gaba isn't a peptide because niacin is a vitamin and GABA is a neurotransmitter.... as in they are not amino-acids? Thanks nupi

Noopept a glycine-pyrollidine peptide?

Its not 2-pyrrolidone, its L-proline. There is pro-gly peptide "hidden" in its structure.

Thank you! Ok, so that clears it up a bit. It's a L-proline-glycine peptide. It has nothing to do with pyrrolidone then?
