What Is Peptide Therapy?
Shed Pounds, Gain Health: Your Weight Loss Journey Starts Here
Peptide therapy is a type of treatment that involves the use of peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, to stimulate various physiological processes in the body. Peptide therapy is becoming increasingly popular as a treatment option for a range of conditions, from anti-aging and weight loss to autoimmune disorders and chronic pain.
The ideal patient for peptide therapy depends on the specific condition or health goal that the therapy is intended to address. Peptide therapy can be customized to meet the individual needs of each patient, and therefore, the ideal patient for peptide therapy can vary widely.
How Are Peptides Administered?
Most peptides come in an injectable form. The pharmacy will ship you all supplies you will need and instructions. Using a tiny insulin syringe, you will give yourself a subcutaneous injection daily or 5 days a week.
There is an oral peptide for those who do not want to do an injection, however, different peptides have different benefits. Our provider will discuss options with you during your consultation.
How Long Will I Use Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapies usually have a “loading” period of 3-6 months before full effects and maximum benefit are noticed. In fact, unlike synthetic growth hormone that has negative side effects of long term use, peptides are natural and can be used indefinitely for maximum health benefit and little to no side-effects.
Who Can Benefit From Peptide Therapy?
- Patients with chronic pain: Peptides can reduce inflammation and improve tissue healing, which can help alleviate chronic pain.
- Patients with autoimmune disorders: Certain peptides can modulate the immune system and help reduce the symptoms of autoimmune disorders.
- Patients with hormonal imbalances: Peptide therapy can help regulate hormone levels and improve overall hormonal balance.
- Patients who want to slow down the aging process: Certain peptides can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles..
Why Peptide Therapy?
It’s vitally important to maintain optimal health as we age. When levels of amino acids and peptides decline, our bodies experience changes that can influence how we respond to physical activity and dietary choices. To counteract these effects, peptides may be used as a supplement to improve health and well-being. Peptides are short-chained amino acids that act as hormones or neurotransmitters in the body, helping us stay fit and healthy over time.
