What are Peptides?
Peptides are made from chains of amino acids, which help makeup proteins. Many peptides are synthetic forms of naturally occurring compounds and can be used as a therapy regimen on their own, or paired with other regenerative therapies. When used as a consistent therapy, these therapeutic peptides can help boost and biohack your body’s internal processes without the invasiveness and cost of procedures or surgery. These peptides come in different forms like injectables, oral pills, nasal sprays, topical creams, and lozenge-like troches. These peptides offer a much smaller side effect profile than many mainstream medications, making them a go-to first line therapy.
What Can Peptides Treat?
With the right approach, peptides can stimulate different biological functions which assist in things like immune system regulation, tissue repair, and neuroprotection. Additionally, they can slow down aging, promote bone healing, improve wound healing, enhance muscle mass, and can even assist in increasing metabolic activity. Some studies have shown that peptide injections have the ability to function as immunomodulating agents. Immunomodulating agents are substances that can suppress or stimulate the immune system and may help combat cancer, infection, or other diseases. Peptides function by either stopping the immune response or causing the immune response to generate tolerance. They are often used for autoimmune conditions, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and IBD.
Who is a Good Candidate for Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are a great option for anyone looking to enhance their overall health and biological processes in areas such as muscle growth, weight loss, cognitive function, skin health, hormone deficiencies, hair growth, athletic performance, immunity and much more. Our healthcare providers will review your medical history to determine if peptide therapy is a good fit. Patients with a history of an active cancer, heart failure or specific allergies may not be a good fit. This will be assessed with a license provider during your consultation.
What Types of Peptides Are Offered?
We offer a variety of different natural peptides. Here are just a few listed below:
Thymosin Alpha-1
Consisting of 28 amino acids, this protein plays a vital role in modulating immunity, inflammation, and tolerance. It manages these vital pathways by augmenting T-cell function, making it an effective option for managing long-term conditions and autoimmune disorders. It is also a great therapy to protect against cancer as it is an anti-lesion formulated peptide.
Thymosin beta 4 and TB500
Thymosin beta 4 , a 43 amino acid containing peptide and its segmented sister TB500, a 23 chain fragment, are both extremely effective at promoting healing in damaged areas like tendons, ligaments, heart, skin, muscles, and eyes. Its potent anti-inflammatory properties make it a good option for athletic individuals looking for faster recovery and a more efficient collagen repair. Many medical conditions often leave different systems of the body in an inflammatory cycle causing dysregulation and often pain. This peptide is great for any individual or athlete looking to get a jump on repairing injuries and will therapeutically get improvements in hair skin nails and the gut lining. It has even demonstrated an ability to improve function with multiple sclerosis and its symptoms.
BPC-157
Made with 15 amino acids, this option is a body protection compound (BPC) isolated from human gastric enzymes. It has shown promise in accelerating wound healing of different types of sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. Additionally, it can be an effective way to prevent problems with the organs like ulcers, irritable bowel, IBD, and Crohns , as well as heal wounds and skin burns at a faster rate. This peptide also aids in collagen upregulation making it a great peptide to assist with soft tissue recovery and repair.
What Can I Expect?
As discussed, Peptides can come in many different forms. During a consultation with our team, we’ll discuss the best options for you based on your symptoms, medical history, and health goals. Once cleared , we can ship peptides right to your door. Multiple Peptides can even be used together or in combination , as well as with stem cell therapy and growth factors for an effective and comprehensive plan.
