Peptide therapy refers to the medical use of specific peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, to promote health and fight disease. Peptides occur naturally in the body and peptide supplements can enhance some of these natural peptides.
Some key things peptide therapy may be used for:
- Anti-aging & longevity: Certain peptides like Epithalon, Thymalin, and Follistatin 344 show promise for increasing lifespan, improving immune function, enhancing brain cognition, reducing inflammation, and more.
- Fat loss & metabolism: Peptides including CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and others can boost metabolism, increase fat burning, and support weight and body fat loss when combined with exercise and healthy eating.
- Injury healing & recovery: Peptides such as BPC-157, Thymosin Beta 4 (TB-500), and others demonstrate healing effects on soft tissue, joint, bone and nerve injuries. They may quicken healing and support regeneration.
- Muscle gain & performance: Peptides such as Follistatin 344, GHRPs, and others provide an alternative to anabolic steroids for increasing muscle mass. They may improve strength, power, and endurance when combined with proper training and nutrition protocols.
- Mood, sleep, & cognition: Some peptide compounds offer nootropic (cognition-enhancing) as well as relaxation and sleep-enhancing qualities. These include Cerebrolysin, Selank, Semax, Nooglutyl, to name a few.
- Skincare & cosmetic: Certain peptides applied topically, such as copper peptides, matrixyl peptides, and others demonstrate anti-aging effects on skin such as reducing wrinkles.
- Hormone optimization: Select peptide hormones can positively influence testosterone, growth hormone, thyroid and other hormones for balance, wellness and vitality.
- Gut health & immunity: Thymosin Alpha 1 and other thymosin peptides play a role in supporting gut lining repair and strengthening immune function.
Some key
benefits of peptide therapy include:
- Enhancing natural processes and increasing healthspan
- Targeting specific wellness areas including muscle, brain, immunity, skin, etc.
- Minimal side effects compared to medications
- Better patient tolerability over hormone replacements
- Synergistic - works well alongside nutrition plans or other therapies
- Wide range of delivery methods: injections, oral, nasal sprays, topical
