Peptide therapy involves administering specific peptides to patients to promote health, wellbeing, healing, anti-aging effects and more. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins. Certain peptides have been identified to have beneficial effects in the human body and peptide therapy aims to harness these effects.
There are many different types of peptides used in therapy. Some common ones include:
- Growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRPs) - Stimulate the body's own growth hormone production. Increase muscle mass and bone density. Anti-aging effects.
- Thymosin beta-4 - Promotes healing, tissue regeneration and injury repair. Used for sports injuries, wounds, inflammation.
- AOD9604 - Melts fat, especially in stubborn areas. Used for weight loss.
- BPC-157 - Repairs ulcers and gut lining. Reduces inflammation in digestive tract.
- Melanotan II - Stimulates melanin production and leads to tanned skin and photoprotection.
The specific peptide or blend of peptides used depends on the needs and desired outcomes of the patient.
How Peptide Therapy Works
The peptides are synthesized and then injected or applied topically in a medical setting. Different peptides have different recommended dosages and protocols which healthcare practitioners determine and oversee.
Once administered, the peptides start doing their work on specific organs, tissues or body systems:
- GHRPs bind receptors in the brain, stimulating the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone. This leads to boosted cell regeneration, protein production, bone strength and more.
- Thymosin beta-4 has anti-inflammatory effects and signals cell migration to wound and injury sites, accelerating healing.
- AOD9604 stimulates lipid metabolism to break down fat cells, reducing adipose tissue deposits.
- BPC-157 repairs and protects the lining of the gut and stomach. Also reduces inflammation-causing cytokines systemically.
In essence, the peptides act as signaling molecules, targeting specific cells and receptors to provide therapeutic benefits without disrupting healthy tissues or pathways. This makes them quite safe with little to no side effects in most patients.
Benefits of Peptide Therapy
Some benefits of peptide therapy include:
- Increased cell regeneration - Repairs damaged cells and slows aging
- Enhanced immunity - Strengthens immune function
- Gut healing - Reduces ulcers, inflammation and "leaky gut"
- Injury repair - Speeds up healing of wounds, damaged muscles or tissues
- Fat loss - Stimulates breakdown and metabolism of fat
- Skin rejuvenation - Increased collagen production, photoprotection
- Bone strengthening - Improves bone mineral density
These translate to anti-aging benefits, athletic performance enhancement, improved recovery, disease prevention and more, depending on the peptides used.
