Peptide therapy is a relatively newer holistic treatment that is revealing promising results in the research community. Because functional medicine combines traditional medicine with a more natural, integrative approach, we are constantly learning more about the benefits of peptides and offer peptide therapy for both men and women. Keep reading to learn more about peptides and why we recommend them!
What is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy involves short chains of amino acids called peptides, and these peptides can affect the body in many different ways. Your body already makes peptides (also called the building blocks of proteins), and so peptide therapy provides a way to treat certain conditions using naturally occurring peptides. While this type of treatment is typically administered via an injection, some peptides may be available as topical, nasal, or oral options.
The Benefits of Peptides
There are many peptides that are being researched for their beneficial effects on fighting inflammation and signs of aging, as well as boosting sex drive, cognitive function, metabolism, and more. Here are a few of them and their potential benefits:
- CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin: stimulates hormone and collagen production for better sexual health and anti-aging
- IGF-1 & LR3: works for the human growth hormone to assist in muscle repair, metabolism, and more
- TB-500 & TB-4: encourages wound healing and tissue repair to lower inflammation and improve joint health
- BPC-157: accelerates tissue repair and muscle fiber regeneration, as well as has anti-inflammatory properties for gut health
- PT-141: activates neurons in the brain to increase libido
- Semax: increases brain protein levels vital for learning, memory, and mental clarity and regulates mood, stress, and fatigue.
- MOT-C: improves metabolic function, insulin resistance, enhances cells’ response to exercise, and supports overall longevity
Why Do We Recommend Peptides?
- Peptides mimic or enhance what your body already does, making this treatment option a natural, more integrative approach to medicine.
- Peptide therapy provides targeted treatment for specific health concerns, resulting in more effective and personalized solutions.
- Peptides may have fewer side effects and complications than prescription medications.
From libido-enhancing and sexual wellness treatments and the best peptides for anti-aging to weight loss options and BPC-157 peptide benefits for injury recovery, there are many reasons why we would recommend peptide therapy for our patients.
Most importantly, peptides are a very specific treatment option that requires a thorough understanding of the person’s body, lab work, and health goals, so it’s important to work with a functional medicine practitioner who will listen to you and take the time to fully evaluate your needs.
