Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally in the body and supplement form. There are many different peptides used for various health and anti-aging benefits. Here are some of the major peptides and their functions:
BPC-157 - supports gut health and tissue repair. It reduces inflammation and heals injuries.
CJC-1295 - stimulates natural hormone production like growth hormone for anti-aging effects. Enhances fat loss.
Epithalon - regulates the pineal gland for better sleep and cellular aging. Prolongs lifespan.
Follistatin - builds muscle, aids fat loss, and supports bone health. Encourages satellite cell repair.
GHRP-2 & GHRP-6 - increase growth hormones for muscle gain, fat burning, healing, and strength.
Ipamorelin - growth hormone secretagogue for building muscle, losing fat, and skin/joint health.
Sermorelin - bioidentical growth hormone for increasing IGF-1 and HGH benefits. Slows aging process.
Thymosin Beta 4 - promotes healing of damaged tissues, organs, bones, muscle, and skin. Treats inflammation too.
AOD-9604 - metabolizes fat, grows muscle tissue, and cartilages. Repairs joints and connective tissues.
Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 - repairs muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and bones. Treats pain and inflammation.
Bioactive peptides act as signaling molecules to stimulate receptors and influence cellular activities. Each peptide is designed to interact with certain receptors and enzymes to promote desired effects in the body like muscle growth, metabolism boosting, tissue healing and regeneration, etc. They regulate inflammation levels, gene expression, and protein synthesis ultimately leading to overall wellness through their various mechanisms and pathways. Peptide therapy delivers these peptides directly to maximize intended benefits.
Peptide therapy administers peptides through subcutaneous injections, topical gels/creams or nasal spray. The most effective protocol for peptides is subcutaneous injections that better allow maximum absorption and utilization.
The peptide treatment plan will be customized as per individual need, health goal and serum analysis. However, a typical therapy protocol involves choosing suitable peptides, deciding optimal dosages, injection sites and schedules.
A standard starting protocol is 100 mcg dosage injected daily/twice daily depending on peptide's half life. The dose is gradually adjusted as needed over the course of treatment spanning a few weeks to several months. Common injection sites are abdomen, thighs and arms. Treatment course ranges from 4 weeks to 6 months with regular dose adjustments and follow ups. Additional lifestyle measures like diet, sleep and exercise further boost peptide results.
Peptide therapy provides targeted treatment solutions for various health goals with these evidence based benefits:
In summary, peptide therapy aims to harness the regenerative power of peptides for total body rejuvenation, inside out.
Declining hormone and peptide concentrations underlie most chronic illnesses today leading to poorer quality of life. Identifying deficiencies early is crucial before advanced manifestations.
Some common indications suggesting suboptimal peptide levels:
Diagnostic tests to analyze deficiencies:
Vitality Hormone Clinic uses state-of-the art facilities for comprehensive assessments. Timely diagnosis and optimized treatment of deficiencies reverse abnormalities before permanent damage.
Peptide therapy research has uncovered that certain peptides can actually help promote longevity and healthy aging. Short protein fragments called peptides can mimic the effects of calorie restriction, improving metabolic health and extending lifespan in animal studies without having to severely cut calories. More research is still needed, but the anti-aging potential of targeted peptide treatments is an exciting discovery.
Modern lifestyle stresses coupled with unhealthy diets and lack of physical activity deplete peptide and hormone levels essential for maintaining optimal health and functioning. Peptide decline progresses gradually but the accumulated loss over months and years leads to metabolic disorders, mental illnesses and eventual burnout.
Health issues like obesity, chronic fatigue, high BP, diabetes, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, neurological conditions, mood disorders are all fueled by hormone imbalance and peptide depletion. Replacing critical peptides and regulating key hormone concentrations treat the root causes reversing such diseases. Peptide therapy enhances cell regeneration and optimizes biological pathways.
