Peptides are short-chain amino acids found naturally in the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and these particular amino acids are designed to augment specific functions within the human body.

Therapy with peptides uses those sequences already present to regulate and rejuvenate functions. Basically, they bind to and tell other cells what to do, replacing or mimicking the functions of naturally occurring peptides. Peptides have the capability to utilize body chemistry relationships to promote restoration, anabolism, and homeostasis. Peptides can function as messengers that relay information or transport materials into cells. i.e., peptides can transfer glucose from blood into the cells to be used as energy.

There are more than 7,000 types of peptides. Some commonly prescribed peptide combinations increase human growth hormone (HGH or GH) levels in the body. GH regulates the production and maintenance of muscle and bone, helping to “maintain normal body structure and metabolism.” (per the Cleveland Clinic).

Some of the benefits of peptide therapy treatments are:

• Quicker healing after surgeries

• Reduce injury and increase muscle repair

• Reduced inflammation

• Healthier joints

• Enhanced athletic performance

• Accelerated healing/recovery

• Stronger immune system

• Increased muscle mass

• Lost weight/body fat

• Prevention of bone loss

• Better sleep

• Improved GI function

• Wound Healing
