Peptides are essentially the building blocks of protein. A peptide is a short chain of amino acids linked together, anywhere from 2 – 50. When peptides link to each other, they form a protein with more than 50 amino acids. Peptides are found in all tissues and cells of the body, making them essential for the health and normal functioning of the body.
- Providing structure to muscle and bone
- Regulating appetite, digestion and metabolism
- Lowering inflammation load
- Working to reduce the effects of aging
- As hormones, delivering messages from one tissue to another
- As antioxidants to attack and destroy free radicals
Increase Weight loss and Improve Muscle Repair with Peptides
If weight loss is a goal, then growth hormone releasing peptides like Ipamorelin can enhance weight loss by optimizing fat metabolism. The best results are with consistent use of the peptide for 3-6 months. Growth hormone releasing peptides can also increase strength and speed up healing to help recover quickly from an injury which makes it a helpful tool for bodybuilders and other athletes.
Renew Your Skin With Peptide Therapy
Collagen is what gives our skin a natural glow and smooth toned surface. Aging brings about a natural reduction of collagen production, resulting in the accumulation of deeper lines and wrinkles. With peptide therapy for the skin, we can administer a topical cream to be absorbed into the skin. Once absorbed, the peptide provides messages to signal to the body that more collagen is needed, which will lead to a more youthful, healthy skin tone and texture.
Peptide Therapy May Help With Hair Growth
Stimulating cells that are responsible for hair growth can activate follicle growth and improve your natural hair color. There are ongoing studies being done on a variety of hair specific peptides. The goal with peptide therapy for hair is to stimulate senescent cells, which are injured cells that contribute to inflammation of the hair follicle and ultimately hair loss.
Pain Management Can Be Done with Peptide Therapy
There have been several peptides studied to show effective pain management comparable to opioids, but without the risk of addiction or danger that opioids pose. These peptides help stop pain sensations perceived by the brain or can help decrease pain by modifying inflammatory messages from the nervous system.
Another Tool For Sexual Dysfunction
Everyone has heard of medications like Viagra and Cialis that improve circulation for males suffering from erectile dysfunction, but there are also peptides that can directly stimulate the sex drive by acting on the nervous system. Additionally sexual dysfunction isn’t just a man’s problem; in fact many women have sexual dysfunction issues and reduced libido. Sexual dysfunction can be due to a variety of combined causes, so it’s important that a proper work-up is performed. When it comes to adding support or employing a treatment, peptide therapy can be safely administered to enhance libido and sex drive in both men and women.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Most peptide therapies are well tolerated with little to no side effects, which is making it a popular and effective alternative to address a variety of health concerns or problems. Certain peptides can have noted side effects, which are discussed with you if it is a recommended peptide treatment option.
