Peptides are short-chain amino acids found naturally in the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and these particular amino acids are designed to augment specific functions within the human body.

Therapy with peptides uses those sequences already present to regulate and rejuvenate functions, basically, they bind to and tell other cells what to do, replacing or mimicking the functions of naturally occurring peptides. Peptides have the capability to utilize body chemistry relationships to promote restoration, anabolism, and homeostasis. Peptides can act as messengers that relay information or transport materials into cells. i.e. peptides can transfer glucose from the blood into the cells to be used as energy.

Many peptides are administered through subcutaneous injection, some can also be taken orally or topically. The frequency and dosage vary from peptide to peptide.

Peptides have many benefits, whether it’s healthier joints, weight loss, better body composition, or wish to improve your athletic performance peptide therapy can work for you. Here is a list of some of the benefits you could receive from peptide therapy.
