Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptide compounds to help regulate and support various processes in the body. Some key things to know about peptide therapy:
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. There are many different peptides with varying functions.
Advantages of peptides is that they are very similar to natural compounds already present in the body so side effects tend to be minimal. They can specifically target processes and often work rapidly.
Applications of peptides are diverse, from immune support to muscle building to sleep and mood regulation. There is great flexibility in developing customized therapy plans.
Administration of most peptides is done via subcutaneous injection, similar to insulin administration. Some are administered as oral supplements or nasal sprays.
There are several families of peptides that can help optimize hormone levels including:
Standard lab testing helps determine optimal dosage and administration frequency for individual needs. Follow up testing allows for dosage adjustments over time.
Peptides play an integral role in physical training and recovery. Key peptide families include:
Customized plans should include lab testing analysis along with medical history to determine appropriate peptides selection and dosing. Follow up testing allows for dosage adjustments over time.
Obesity has reached epidemic levels and is strongly associated with inflammation and increased risk for many chronic diseases. Peptides can help regulate appetite, optimize fat burning potential, support insulin sensitivity, reduce cravings, and promote sustainable weight loss. Primary peptide hormones to consider include:
Ketogenic diet principles combined with strategic administration of glucagon and GH peptides provides optimal potential for tapping into stubborn body fat for fuel. Careful planning of dosing prior to exercise sessions can further amplify results.
Peptide therapy is being explored as a way to treat Alzheimer's disease. Certain brain peptides can inhibit the formation of amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's pathology. Early research shows that delivering lab-made versions of these peptides to the brain via nasal spray can reduce amyloid buildup and improve cognition in mouse models. More human trials are underway to uncover the potential of these peptides as an Alzheimer's therapy.
The central nervous system governs all aspects of health making neuronal support vital for wellness. Key peptides families for cognitive and neurological health include:
Maintaining neurological health is critical for overall wellness and peptides are emerging as promising agents for preventing cognitive decline. As always, careful consideration of medical history is needed in designing custom peptide therapy plans. Follow up testing allows for dosage adjustments over time.
