Peptide therapy involves the use of specific amino acid chains called peptides to treat various health conditions. Peptides occur naturally in the body and play a role in many biological processes. Peptide therapy practitioners can administer exogenous peptides to patients to promote better health and wellbeing.
Some key things to know about peptide therapy:
Over the years, a growing body of research has demonstrated the benefits peptide therapies can offer patients. Below we outline key topic areas related to peptide therapy and how it may help those looking to improve their vitality and quality of life.
One of the most common ways peptide therapy is administered is through peptide injections. This involves injecting bioidentical peptides synthetically created in a lab to match naturally occurring peptides.
There are a few things patients can expect with peptide injections:
Our practitioners are specially trained in peptide injection techniques and protocols to provide patients with excellent care.
There are many peptide options available for injection therapy nowadays. A brief overview of some of the more popular ones includes:
BPC-157 - Tissue healing and repair
AOD-9604 - Metabolism and weight loss
Thymosin Beta-4 - Tissue and wound healing
Sermorelin - Growth hormone stimulation
IPAMORELIN - Growth hormone release
And more...Our practitioners stay up to date on all the latest peptide developments and best candidates for patients' needs and goals.
There are many potential benefits offered by peptide therapy, depending on which peptides are used. Some benefits may include:
Peptides like Thymosin Beta-4 and BPC-157 have demonstrated ability to help repair and regenerate tissues throughout the body by reducing inflammation, promoting cell migration and differentiation, and stimulating blood vessel development. This makes them helpful for recovery from injury, surgery, illnesses that impact tissues like heart disease and autoimmune disorders.
Select peptides such as AOD-9604 work by mimicking how certain hormones regulate metabolism. Studies show they may help increase lipolysis (fat breakdown), boost metabolism, reduce appetite and increase lean muscle mass growth. This makes them useful weight loss aids.
Certain immunomodulator peptides have the remarkable capacity to help regulate immune function. Options like Thymosin Alpha-1, for example, can strengthen cell-mediate immunity which serves as the body’s first line of defense against illness and infection. This leads to reduced frequency and severity of illnesses.
Peptides such as Follistatin, Myostatin inhibitors and others show promise for stimulating muscle protein synthesis, activating muscle stem cell growth and enabling greater lean tissue growth. Athletes, older adults and those recovering from bedrest/illness may see notable improvements.
By optimizing levels of key hormones involved in regulating sleep/wake cycles peptides can help improve sleep quality. Options that enhance GH and melatonin production like Sermorelin and Melanotan II can enable deeper, more restful sleep for those struggling with sleep issues.
Through mechanisms not wholly understood, certain peptides seem to revitalize skin and hair follicles resulting in increased collagen and keratin production. Peptides like Epitalon and Copper peptides demonstrate particular aptitude in this regard. Those struggling with skin or hair aging may see benefits.
Peptides that work by correcting imbalances in neurotransmitters tied to mood, focus and motivation - such as Cerebrolysin, Selank and Semax - have application for supporting patients with anxiety, depression, brain fog, attentional issues and related CNS conditions. Research remains ongoing but initial findings inspire promise.
In sum, peptide therapy offers patients many advantages thanks to the diverse roles peptides play biologically. Our experienced practitioners can help patients determine which peptide therapy programs may be right for them based on their particular health objectives. We offer cutting edge peptides and protocols for optimal results.
As we age,thanks to factors like oxidative damage, inflammation, illness and injury, our bodies' natural peptide production declines. Symptoms emerge subtly but can grow more severe if imbalances are not addressed. Therefore, getting tested for peptide deficiencies and beginning prompt treatment enables patients to recover function, energy, immunity and quality of life.
At HormoVital we understand the importance of early testing and treatment when it comes to peptide deficiencies. We offer state of the art peptide deficiency testing and individually tailored programs using the latest proven peptides to help patients regain optimal wellness and vitality.
Some signs that may indicate possible peptide deficiency on labs or symptomatically include:
If you are experiencing any symptoms of possible peptide imbalance, we encourage you to come in for evaluation right away. There are so many excellent peptide therapy options now that most deficiencies can be safely, effectively corrected. But early action leads to the best long term prognoses.
Here at HormoVital we offer gold standard testing and cutting edge, safe treatment plans patients can count on. Our integrated, collaborative approach looks at the whole patient picture for health solutions that work in the real world.
Peptide therapy research has uncovered an unexpected role for certain peptides in wound healing. Specific peptides applied topically to skin wounds have been found to significantly accelerate healing time. The mechanism appears to involve stimulation of new blood vessel and skin cell growth. This novel wound healing approach may lead to new peptide-based treatments for poorly healing wounds.
