What is peptide therapy?

Peptide therapy is a form of treatment that uses peptides - short chains of amino acids - to help regulate various bodily functions. Peptides can be administered orally, topically, or by injection to target specific areas of the body.

Some common conditions that peptide therapy is used to treat include:

  • Hormone imbalances
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Neurodegenerative diseases
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Weight management
  • Skin rejuvenation

Different types of peptides have different effects on the body. For example, growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRPs) stimulate the production of human growth hormone, which can improve muscle mass, bone density, and energy levels.

Peptide therapy is generally considered safe when used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. However, as with any medication or treatment, there are potential side effects and risks to consider. It is important to discuss the benefits and risks of peptide therapy with a healthcare provider before beginning treatment.
