Peptides are building blocks of protein that occur naturally in the human body. They are composed of amino acids and work to regulate various biological functions and processes. There are over 7000 known peptides in the human body; some may be similar, but each is responsible for facilitating a different response and action within the body.

What is peptide therapy?

Peptides naturally occur in the human body, but their production varies from person to person; also, as we advance in age, the number and quality of peptides within the body declines. Peptide therapy restores and stimulates cellular regrowth systems within the body by restoring the number of peptides. These building blocks of protein are administered directly into the bloodstream through subcutaneous injections. They are also available as nasal sprays and can be applied as topical creams or taken orally. Healthcare professionals customize this treatment to fit patients’ unique needs and goals. That way, a specific reaction in the body is produced, and various conditions can be treated.

Benefits of peptide therapy

Peptide therapy is a unique treatment option that addresses various concerns. The benefits of peptide therapy include but are not limited to the following:

• Improve libido
• Better sleep quality
• Eliminates fatigue and improves energy levels and strength
• Enhances cognitive function
• Speeds or accelerates the healing process
• Minimized signs of aging

Why you should consider peptide therapy

Peptides are naturally found within the body, meaning their absence can create a ripple effect across various systems. Consequently, bodily functions such as metabolism, digestion, sexual desire, neuropathy, inflammation, and weight loss may be affected. When such problems arise, peptide therapy can help treat these conditions by mimicking your body’s natural peptides, which trigger a specific desired response. Because peptides are naturally occurring and particular in function, they are well tolerated within the body, causing minimal to no side effects. The peptides used in therapy are usually crafted from animal or plant protein sources like meat, milk, eggs, soya, flaxseed, hemp seed, oats, and wheat.
