Peptide Therapy
Our Areas of Focus
What are Peptides?
Peptides are chains of amino acids, similar to 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 your body’s internal processes without the invasiveness and cost of certain procedures or surgeries. These peptides often come in the form of injectables, oral pills, nasal sprays, topical creams, and lozenge-like troches. These peptides often come with a much smaller side effect profile than many mainstream medications.
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 gain, and can even assist in regulating insulin. 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. In cancer therapy, peptide epitopes are used to help train the body to recognize and fight cancer cells both systemically and locally. They can also be 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 history of an active cancer or specific history of certain allergies may not be a good fit.
What Types of Peptides Are Offered?
We offer a variety of different natural peptides. These include but are not limited to:
Thymosin Alpha-1
Consisting of 28 amino acids, this protein plays a vital role in controlling immunity, inflammation, and tolerance. It manages immune and inflammatory responses 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.
Thymosin beta 4
This protein consists of 43 amino acids and is effective at promoting healing in damaged areas like tendons, ligaments, heart, skin, muscles, and eyes. It also has extremely potent anti-inflammatory properties, making it a good option for injuries and inflammation caused by certain conditions. 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 Enzyme. 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 Crohn’s, as well as heal wounds and skin burns at a faster rate.
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 with stem cell therapy and growth factors for an effective and comprehensive plan.
