Chronic stress, illness, and the natural aging process can negatively impact your body’s ability to function efficiently and regenerate cells and tissues.
This suboptimal repair can further disrupt libido, metabolism, and digestion-- think weight gain, low energy, and reduced muscle mass. Peptide therapies aim to address these shortcomings through the use of synthetic versions of natural signaling molecules that enhance hormone production and optimize recovery systems.
Peptide therapy is beneficial to anyone who wishes to slow down the aging process and increase vitality. Furthermore, individuals who are overweight and are trying to lose body fat and build muscle will also greatly benefit from the treatment. Peptide therapy is also commonly used by athletes to improve performance.
Peptides can be taken orally but are but often given by subcutaneous injection.
Peptides are just short chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) linked by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is simply the bond between a nitrogen atom from one amino acid and a carbon from another amino acid.
But what do peptides do? Certain peptides regulate specific body functions by telling cells what to do. They are messengers within the human body. Different peptides have different functions. You may be familiar with many peptide hormones, such as insulin, oxytocin, and GnRH. Peptides have been implicated in weight loss, metabolism, muscle mass, recovery from injury, human growth hormone release, cognitive function, sleep, digestive health, libido, and erectile function.
