Peptide Therapy
Peptides are small groups of amino acids, sequenced together. They are similar to hormones in that they are signaling molecules, but they are not hormones, because they don’t have receptors on the cell membrane.
Peptides direct a wide range of biologic processes including:
■ Hormone production
■ Cellular repair
■ Immune system support
■ Libido/sexual function
■ Metabolism
■ Inflammation reduction
■ Neural protection
Peptide therapy involves injecting the peptide compound into your hip, lower abdomen or thigh with a very small needle, similar to what is used to inject insulin or administer allergy testing. While some companies make oral versions of peptides, the concern is that the digestive process will break down the specific sequence; and there’s no guarantee that the body will put it back together in the specific sequence that is needed to trigger the response.
Conditions treated with peptide therapy include:
■ Chronic Inflammation
■ Auto-Immunity
■ Fibromyalgia
■ Lyme Disease
■ Cancer
■ Weight management
■ Anti-Aging
■ Neurodegenerative diseases
■ Concussion and stroke recovery
■ Insomnia
■ Improving repair from injury
We may offer Peptide Therapy as a powerful component of your customized plan.
