Where Does It Come From?
Preprotachykinin B is a naturally occurring (and made in the body) peptide precursor (tachykinin family).
Research & Evidence
Preprotachykinin B is a precursor polypeptide that is processed in the body to release neurokinin B, a member of the tachykinin family of signaling peptides. This is a peptide, not an alkaloid or psychedelic, and tachykinins act on neurokinin receptors involved in neurotransmission and neuroendocrine regulation. Little of specific herbal relevance is established for the precursor itself.
