KAMBO SCIENCE
The only properties found within the secretion are peptides and alkaloids. Peptides are short chains of amino acids similar to proteins, which are longer chains.
Amino acids are the building blocks of life!
Peptides are chemical messengers which activate certain cell receptors to perform specific functions within the brain and body.
Peptides have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier with ease, helping to work deeper within the body while bringing support to otherwise difficult areas to treat.
While pharmaceutical medicines exert force to induce changes in the body (leading to side effects) peptides are embraced and welcomed, facilitating a more harmonious biological and neurological transformation.
Think of them as the keys that fit the locks...
Vittorio Erspamer, an Italian scientist affiliated with the University of Rome, was the first to conduct a laboratory analysis of Kambo peptides. He earned two Nobel Prize nominations for his groundbreaking discovery of the widely recognized neurotransmitter, Serotonin.
Vittorio stands as a trailblazer in the field of neuroscience in the past century, owing to his pioneering work on serotonin, which lends him substantial credibility.
Furthermore, his lifelong dedication to investigating peptides derived from amphibians like Kambo adds significant scientific weight to Kambo's credibility in the eyes of the scientific community.
Moreover, it is noteworthy that there are over 70 patents lodged in the USA for the peptides found in Kambo. This substantial number reflects the significant scientific and commercial interest in the compounds derived from this remarkable amphibian.
“… a fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unequalled by any other amphibian..”
- Vittorio Erspamer
Erspamer's research spanned more than 60 years and resulted in the isolation, identification, synthesis, and pharmacological study of more than sixty new chemical compounds…
The major peptides identified in the Kambo secretion include:
Phyllocaerulein
A peptide known for its potential analgesic (pain-relieving) properties.
Phyllomedusin
Recognized for its ability to stimulate the nervous system, potentially leading to effects like increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Phyllokinin
Associated with vasodilation, which involves the relaxation and widening of blood vessels, leading to increased blood flow.
Sauvagine
A peptide that can stimulate the release of stress hormones, particularly cortisol, and is associated with the body's response to stress.
Dermaseptin B2
Renowned for its potent antimicrobial attributes, rendering it highly effective against a diverse spectrum of microorganisms. Furthermore, scientific research has indicated its potential in targeting and eliminating cancer cells, while sparing healthy cells from harm.
Adenoregulin
A peptide that can interact with adenosine receptors, potentially influencing processes related to pain perception and inflammation.
Deltorphins and Dermorphin
Opioid peptides with potent analgesic properties, often stronger than morphine.
