Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptide compounds to promote health, wellness, and vitality. As we age, peptide levels in the body naturally decline, leading to a host of symptoms associated with aging and disease. Peptide therapy can help restore optimal peptide levels, leading to enhanced physiologic functioning. Some of the key benefits of peptide therapy include improved muscle growth, fat loss, injury recovery, immune function, sleep, mood, cognition, and more. This article will provide an overview of peptide therapy, with a focus on how it is used in Lewiston, ID.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Some of the most common peptides used for therapy include:
BPC-157 - Heals leaky gut, reduces inflammation, and protects organs.
Some of the many potential benefits of peptide therapy include:
The specific benefits will depend on the individual's needs and the types of peptides used. Our clinic develops customized peptide therapy protocols to target each patient's unique health goals.
Peptides act through various mechanisms to promote health and counteract disease:
When administered through injection, peptides bypass digestion and act systemically. This allows them to exert effects efficiently at lower doses than would be required orally.
There are several main approaches to using peptide therapy:
Hormone replacement - Peptides like sermorelin and GHRP mimic the body's natural growth hormone release, restoring youthful levels.
Tissue repair - Peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, and thymosin beta-4 accelerate healing of muscles, bones, organs, tendons, skin, and nerves.
Injury recovery - Growth hormone peptides combined with tissue repair peptides speed up recovery from sports injuries or surgery.
Anti-aging - Blends of peptides can combat multiple effects of aging - muscle loss, wrinkles, decreased immunity, low libido, etc.
Wellness optimization - Patients who don't have a specific medical condition can use peptides to enhance areas like energy, sleep, skin, or fitness.
Protocols are customized based on the patient's health status, goals, peptide tolerance, and more. We help design programs for long-term wellness rather than quick fixes.
