If scientists can create peptides with this capability then they can be taken particularly by people at risk of adverse effects namely elderly people and it will grant the general public an increase in their quality of life. There are varying synthetic peptides which have greater potential than others to be used for the general public but in the future there will be synthetic peptides that are taken regularly by the population.
