Peptide Therapy
Peptides are signaling molecules. These small signaling molecules do many different things in our body.
What are Peptides?
Peptides are signaling molecules. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are essential molecules in the body that play various roles in cellular function, structure, and signaling, all of which influence health and well-being. The body naturally produces close to 7,000 different types of peptides depending on their sequences of amino acids, each of which serve specific functions.
Molecules are formed by combining two or more amino acids (the body has 20 amino acids). Typically, less than 50 amino acids are considered a peptide and more than 100 are considered a protein called polypeptide. Peptides are part of receptors. These small signaling molecules do many different things in our body. Certain targeted peptides can be isolated or synthesized and administered to provide a specific effect given an individual’s need, whether it be immune system support, hormone regulation, or tissue repair.
Peptides may be easier for the body to absorb than proteins because they are smaller and more broken down than proteins. They can more easily penetrate the skin and intestines, which helps them to enter the bloodstream more quickly.
What is Peptide Therapy?
While peptides are naturally occurring in the body, they can slow down in production with age. Peptide therapy is an advanced supplementation protocol designed to assist and optimize the body’s own natural processes at the cellular level. Peptide therapy utilizes peptides to therapeutically interact with the body’s cells and regulate physiological processes associated with disease/disorder. Specific peptides are introduced into the body to activate or inhibit certain cellular pathways. These peptides are designed to interact with receptors on the surface of cells, triggering a cascade of biochemical reactions. This targeted approach allows for precise modulation of cellular functions and facilitates the restoration of balance in the body.
Peptides are most often utilized to help enhance cellular function and signaling, which can help in many processes in the body including tissue healing, inflammation control, hormone regulation, weight loss, hair growth, and other general anti-aging effects. They have the ability to target specific biological pathways associated with disorders, and it may have fewer side effects than traditional treatments.
Peptide therapy harnesses the power of these small but mighty compounds to elicit specific responses in the body. By administering carefully selected peptides, medical professionals can target and modulate various cellular processes, promoting healing, rejuvenation, and optimization of bodily functions.
