Peptide Therapy

What are Peptides?

Peptides are essentially miniature proteins. Both peptides and proteins are composed of amino acids, but the difference lies in their length. Proteins are lengthy chains of over 50 amino acids, while peptides are shorter, containing fewer than 50. These peptides, naturally produced by your body, interact with cells and trigger a multitude of vital bodily functions. For instance, peptides can inhibit blood clotting, decrease cholesterol levels, mitigate systemic inflammation, and bolster your immune system.

What is Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptides to address a particular issue in your body. The most common method of peptide administration is through injections, ensuring an accurate dose is delivered directly into your bloodstream. However, peptide therapy can also be administered through oral capsules, topical lotions or creams, and nasal sprays. The effects of peptides typically become noticeable within a few weeks to a few months.

Conditions that benefit from Peptide Therapy

Ageless Regenerative Medical provides personalized peptide treatments that address numerous health issues and yield a wide array of results:

• Brain Health Peptides: These peptides enhance cognitive functions such as learning, memory, and mental alertness. They also aid in repairing damaged neurons and enhancing neuroplasticity, which improves nerve connections. Conditions that can benefit from these peptides include stroke, dementia, memory loss, Parkinson's disease, brain fog, stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, concussions, and traumatic brain injuries.

• Muscle Regeneration Peptides: These peptides mitigate inflammation and stimulate the repair of damaged soft tissues like tendons, ligaments, and muscles. They are beneficial for conditions such as sports and traumatic injuries, muscle loss following a chemical burn, spinal muscular atrophy, carnitine deficiency, hyperthyroid myopathy, myasthenia gravis, and sarcopenia.

• Weight Loss Peptides: These peptides promote fat burning and reduce body fat. They also enhance muscle mass, energy, and stamina during weight loss and aid in faster recovery post workouts.

• Sleep health  Peptides: These peptides boost melatonin production, which regulates your sleep/wake cycle and helps you fall asleep faster. They can increase sleep duration and promote a deeper, more restful sleep.

• Pain Peptides: These peptides can alleviate pain from various sources, including damaged nerves, injuries, and muscle soreness. They work by suppressing chronic inflammation, accelerating healing, and promoting the growth of new blood vessels.

• Anxiety and Mood Disorder Peptides: These peptides improve anxiety and mood disorders by restoring protein synthesis in the brain, normalizing neurotransmitters, balancing brain function, and controlling cortisol, the hormone responsible for anxiety.

• Immunity Peptides: These peptides strengthen your immune system and help your body combat conditions such as hepatitis B and C, HIV/AIDS, chronic inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disorders, cystic fibrosis, Lyme disease, age-related immune suppression, and certain cancers. They can also enhance your body's response to vaccinations, making them an excellent supplemental therapy to the flu vaccine.

Anti-Aging effects of Peptides

When applied to your skin, collagen-like peptides can effectively smooth away fine lines and wrinkles and reduce age spots. Internally, peptides enhance your immune system and prevent the breakdown of fats needed for cell function. Peptides also have an anti-aging effect as they extend telomeres and slow down cell death. Telomeres, the cap-like structures at the ends of DNA strands, shorten each time a cell duplicates using DNA. As telomeres shorten, cells age and cease to function properly. This cellular aging process can be slowed down by peptides.
