Peptide Therapy
An effective and convenient Peptide Therapy.
Peptide Therapy
Peptides are considered the building blocks that make up protein – a strand of amino acids. These are naturally occurring within the body, in fact your body produces peptides. These amino acid complexes can be used to treat a mixture of common symptoms such as: accelerating injury recovery timelines, aiding in muscle repair, helping aid in weight loss, assist your body in producing more lean muscle mass, increasing growth hormone production, and help reverse any symptoms of sexual dysfunction. It’s commonly known as an anti-aging medicine.
Why do Peptide Therapy?
Peptide Therapy is considered the future of regenerative medicine due to its anti-aging and faster healing properties. As we age, our body starts producing less and less of a mixture of things: hormones, amino acids – including peptides. This is why we see the decrease in a mixture of non-essential functions in our body (muscle mass, sex drive, sexual performance, healing, etc.) because our body pushes the amino acids to essential functions that are vital to live. This is where Peptide Therapy comes into play.
Peptides work by giving instructions to cells and molecules, making them more effective than traditional medicine is. Because they’re granular in how they work, peptides not only are accepted by the body because they are naturally occurring, they have minimal side effects.
What can Peptides do for me?
Peptides have a mixture of benefits and there are peptides for almost any health and physical need whether that be healthier joints, weight loss, improving your body composition, or using to improve overall performance, peptide therapy can help solve those problems. But, what can peptide therapy help improve?
- Improved Workouts and Recovery
- Body Fat Reduction
- Weight Loss
- Improved Libido
- Immune System Improvement
- Improved Energy, Strength & Stamina
- Accelerate Injury Healing
- Help with Hormone Regulation
- Help with Digestive Function
- Improved Sleep
- Increase your natural Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
There are scientific breakthroughs with peptides being one of the most researched pharmaceuticals, so schedule a consultation with one of our Clinic Directors either in clinic or via telemedicine and find out if peptide therapy is right for you.
What Peptides do you offer?
As we explained above, there is a mixture of symptoms that peptides can help solve and some consider it an alternative to regenerative medicine. Currently, there are over 60 peptides that are FDA approved and used in medicine – some may not even realize that in every day prescriptions, peptides are used.
Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is composed of five amino acids, a growth hormone secretagogue that helps stimulate the pituitary gland to release more growth hormone done so through ghrelin. This helps your body burn fat and recover quicker post workout. Additionally, Ipamorelin aids in bone density, muscle mass increase and weight loss. Due to aging, our bodies lose between 10-14% of growth hormone production each decade of life. This means a reduction in muscle mass and a harder time losing body fat/weight. Adding exercise while taking Ipamorelin will help accelerate muscle mass gain and weight loss when paired with Ipamorelin. But, because Ipamorelin helps stimulate HGH there are properties of this peptide that are anti-aging and also helps to improve your sleep cycle all while providing benefits to your immune system.
BPC-157
Known as the “healing peptide”, BPC-157 is a combination of 15 amino acids that include a body protection compound. It can help with joint pain, injury healing, and joint mobility. Specifically, this peptide has been used to improve tendon, ligament and bone healing. Because it is found and derived from human gastric juice, BPC-157 has been recorded to protect organs and prevent stomach ulcers. This peptide can be recommended when someone is struggling with pain from an injury. It works by helping to increase blood flow to the damaged tissue helping heal the injury, burn or damage quicker.
CJC 1295
CJC 1295 is another Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone and is shown to be the most effective in increasing Growth Hormone and IGF-1 secretion. This peptide allows the anterior pituitary to follow the natural release of growth hormone all done without an increase in appetite stimulation, cortisol increase, acetylcholine, prolactin, or aldosterone. This leads to fat loss and increase protein synthesis helping to promote muscle growth. One of the major effects that help with recovery is CJC 1295’s ability to help slow-wave sleep functions, also known as deep sleep, which is responsible for muscle growth, and increased memory.
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is one of the most commonly used and most researched peptides in the industry. It acts as a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) making it work differently in the body than Ipamorelin. Sermorelin tells the body to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more Growth Hormone. This peptide helps stimulate an improvement in sleep, reduction in body fat, and increased levels of IGF-1. All of this leads to an improvement in cognitive ability, one of the most common benefits from Sermorelin Peptide Therapy.
PT-141
PT-141 is commonly used to treat sexual dysfunction in both men and women. It’s commonly used because unlike Erectile Dysfunction medication it does not target the vascular system, rather the nervous system increases arousal, desire, and sexual satisfaction. Commonly this peptide is mistaken as an “ED cure” but that’s not accurate. PT-141 gives you the desire and motivation back, along with the ability to achieve arousal.
FAQs
Got questions? Well, we got your answers!
Peptide Therapy is the use of peptides (amino acid chains) that act on targeted parts of the body to achieve a desired outcome from muscle growth, sleep improvement, tissue repair and more.
Yes, peptide therapy, for healthy individuals, is safe. There are very few reported side effects. Peptides are present in everyday foods, but because they are ingested orally, they are broken down into individual amino acids by the body whereas pharmaceutical peptides are injected into the body and received as such.
Human Growth Hormone known commonly as HGH, is a growth hormone. While there are peptides that support the production of HGH, peptides are not HGH. They are a series of amino acids that act specifically in the body.
There are a lot of factors involved in discussing side effects including the health of the person using the peptide and the treatment that the peptide is being used for. Peptides are generally considered safe and are even FDA approved. Each individual is case-by-case but side effects are rarely reported and mild at that.
This ranges depending on the peptide that you are interested in. We recommend scheduling a consultation either in office or virtually via telemedicine to find out if peptide therapy is right for you.
IGF-1 is a hormone found in your body that has a job of regulating the effects of growth hormone in the body.
