Peptides are short chains of amino acids that carry out an array of important biological functions. Peptides are used to control or trigger actions in our cells.
Certain peptides act as hormones, switching on or off certain biological processes, while others can have an antiviral or therapeutic immune system response.
Peptides can be used to switch on lost cell function or to insert information into the body to trigger a therapeutic reaction. Peptides help maintain hormonal balance and prevent age-related chronic diseases.
What is peptide therapy?
Peptides are chains of amino acids that are essential compounds when it comes to health and wellness. Peptides can benefit you in various ways, including healthier skin and hair, reduced joint and muscle pain, increased lean muscle mass, stronger sex drive, improved immunity, and much more.
Peptide therapy is a targeted treatment that creates a specific reaction in your body — like reducing inflammation or destroying fat cells. By stimulating a certain reaction in a certain area of your body, peptides can improve well-being by enhancing recovery, helping you lose weight, and even minimizing pain.
The science behind peptide therapy is complex, but in practice, it has the power to enhance your body’s ability to function and fight off pain, illness, and more.
What can peptide therapy treat?
Amino acids are an essential part of the body, from healthy skin to muscle mass. Peptide therapy is a flexible treatment that can enhance function in numerous areas.
Benefits of peptide therapy can include:
- reduced joint pain from arthritis;
- skin anti-aging;
- reduced bone loss;
- faster wound healing;
- increased muscle mass;
- enhanced gut health.
Collagen peptides are particularly popular for their anti-aging benefits. This type of therapy offers skincare benefits like slowing down the natural aging process, along with enhancing hair and nail quality.
What are the benefits of peptide therapy?
Peptide therapy can be a great boost to improve your overall well-being. From anti-aging to pain management, it helps your body operate at its peak. Since peptide therapy mimics peptides naturally found in food and your body, the risk of adverse reaction is quite low.
One of the best benefits of peptide therapy is that it’s highly customizable. We design a peptide serum that addresses your unique needs in the most effective manner possible. Here are some ways you can benefit from the treatment.
Hormone replacement therapy support
If you’re on a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) program, peptide therapy could be an optional add-on to your membership. Talk to a doctor about the benefits of adding peptide therapy to your treatment plan.
Growth hormone stimulation
The growth hormone peptides Sermorelin and Ibutamoren stimulate your body’s production of human growth hormone (HGH), treating and relieving the symptoms of GH deficiency.
Immune system support
Peptide therapy helps balance the immune system by balancing the inflammatory response of the thymus gland.
Sexual enhancement
Peptide therapy improves sexual health by increasing libido, improving erectile function, and treating female sexual dysfunction.
Peptide therapy can be delivered in injections just below the surface of your skin. It’s also available in oral tablets, nasal sprays, and topical creams.
Peptide therapy has wide-ranging effects and can be used for a variety of conditions and symptoms, promoting wellness and longevity. A few months of peptide therapy, repeated at regular intervals, is necessary to feel the therapy’s full benefits.
Some Benefits of Peptide Therapy:
- weight loss;
- tissue restoration and elasticity;
- decreased joint pain;
- increased energy and stamina;
- increased muscle mass;
- restore immune function;
- reduction of inflammation in the body;
- improved cognitive function;
- hair restoration.
Some Peptides We Use for Providing the Peptide Therapy
You can take advantage of the peptides like:
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is the peptide that stimulates HGH secretion. This is a synthetic (man-made) version of a naturally occurring substance that causes the release of the growth hormone from the pituitary gland.
Growth hormone is naturally produced by the pituitary gland and is necessary for growth in children and for the proper functioning of organs and systems in adults. This medicine may be used to increase the amount of growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland.
A peptide therapy based on Sermorelin can induce permanent or long-term spikes in HGH production.
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) that stimulates the release of the growth hormone from the anterior pituitary gland. Ipamorelin is one of the latest and greatest peptides in the growth factor family. Deemed one of the safest GHRPs, Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone (GH) Secretagogue and Ghrelin receptor agonist.
This peptide generates similar increases in growth hormone secretion, but without the appetite stimulation and increase in cortisol, acetylcholine, prolactin, and aldosterone seen with other peptides in its class.
Bremelanotide (PT-141)
Bremelanotide (PT-141) is a peptide that has been found to be useful in treating sexual disorders. It can help boost the immune system and, in women, promote bladder control and strengthen pelvic floor muscles.
In men, it can reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack (according to The American Journal of Cardiology). Other benefits are similar to those seen with exercise, including burning fat and calories, lowering blood pressure, and reducing stress levels.
BPC-157
The synthetic peptide BPC-157 offers various healing and regenerative properties. Peptide BPC-157 can help prevent stomach ulcers. However, a wide range of other benefits has been discovered.
It has been shown to accelerate wound healing not only at the surface — where it can treat skin burns, improve blood flow, and increase collagen production — but also repair ligament and tendon-to-bone damage.
Thymosin Alpha
Thymosin alpha 1 is a peptide naturally occurring in the thymus that has long been recognized for modifying, enhancing, and restoring immune function. Thymosin alpha 1 has been utilized in the treatment of immunocompromised states and malignancies, as an enhancer of vaccine response.
Studies have postulated that thymosin alpha 1 could help improve the outcome in severely ill coronavirus disease 2019 patients by repairing damage caused by overactivation of lymphocytic immunity and how thymosin alpha 1 could prevent the excessive activation of T cells.
Thymosin Beta 4
Thymosin-β4 is a small, actin-sequestering protein belonging to the thymosin-β family that is found at high concentrations within the spleen, thymus, and peritoneal macrophages, where it is most notably responsible for the organization of cytoskeletal structure.
Commonly found at significant quantities within the brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, testes, and heart, Thymosin-β4 has also been shown to be synthesized by cells unrelated to the reticuloendothelial system, such as myoblasts and fibroblasts, and expressed at irregular levels by several hemopoietic cell lines, malignant lymphoid cells, and myeloma cells.
Recombinant Human Thymosin-β4 is a 5.2kDa glycoprotein containing 45 amino acid residues.
AOD 9604
Peptide AOD 9604 is a modified form of amino acids 176-191 and was originally used as an anti-obesity drug. Once injected, this hormone derivative can stimulate the pituitary gland, which, in turn, speeds up metabolism and burns body fat.
Overall, peptide AOD 9604 greatly improves the results of dietary restrictions and exercise. Peptide AOD 9604 has two primary methods of regulating body fat:
- Stimulate lipolysis– the breakdown of fats and lipids via the hydrolyzation of triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids.
- Inhibit lipogenesis– the metabolic process that forms fat (even from nonfat foods), which increases the amount of triglycerides in the body.
