What are Peptides?
Peptides are strings of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. They typically comprise between 2 and 50 amino acids. They are easy for the body to absorb and are available in a range of plant and animal sources and supplements, as well as being produced by the body itself.
They effectively assist the body with its own innate healing abilities and play an important role in how the body responds to exercise and diet. In order to perform at your optimal level, it is essential that you have adequate peptide levels.
As we grow older, we tend to start feeling the effects of aging. Many of us struggle with low energy, chronic fatigue, reduced skin elasticity, low libido, hormone imbalance, thinning hair, and low metabolism. However, these are not inevitable effects of aging, and thanks to peptide therapy, you can return to living your most active and fullest life.
Essentially, peptide therapy focuses on restoring the number of peptides within the body in order to stimulate cellular regrowth systems. This works as a treatment option for a range of specific conditions.
The benefits of peptide therapy are many. They include:
To understand how effective peptide therapy could be for you & what options we have, schedule a consultation with our Nurse Practitioner here at Mission Health & Wellness.
This visit will be with our Board certified Nurse Practitioner, Tara Kegeris, FNP-C
We will meet to discuss your goals, educate you on the use of peptides & create your Peptide therapy program,
Subcutaneous injection:
Thymosin alpha-1 is the most recommend peptide for immune stimulation. This should be used as a treatment adjuvant and a prophylactic aid can help with many conditions beyond viral illness!
After age 30 your thymus gland, an important part of your immune system begins to degenerate.
Thymosin Alpha -1 was one of the first peptides isolated and identified and is derived from the thymus gland tissue.
How does it work?
It up-regulates cytokines which are interleukins involved with the immune response. In addition, it identifies the immune system cells that have been infected with difficult to identify viruses. For instance, the Coronavirus is an envelope virus. That means that it is difficult for the immune system to identify until it has entered the cell and caused destruction.
Thymosin Alpha-1 has strong antiviral, anti-bacterial and anti- fungal properties. It has been shown to be effective in infections and they respond well to this peptide.
It has also been shown to be effective against in helping to defend against the effects of different cancers and can be added on to treatment regimens. It can even be helpful in making immunizations work more effectively.
Oral & Subcutaneous injection:
This product was designed by Russian biochemists. It is inhaled nasally. Selank is a variant of the immune molecule tufstin and has potent antiviral properties in addition to its neurological effects. This has shown a positive effect when treating anxiety and depression. It also has been studied in it's antiviral effects.
Subcutaneous injection:
This is a treatment used for weight loss, exercise performance and muscle building.
It is a combination peptide and causes the anterior pituitary to release growth hormone. This growth hormone, then travels to the liver and causes the liver to secrete IGF-1 in a very predictable amount.
IGF-1 works by causing tissues such as muscle to grow. It also encourages angiogenesis, increased blood flow to support these new tissues.
CJC1295/Ipamorelin can increase bone density, strengthen the cardiovascular system, regenerate nerve tissues, strengthen the immune system, improve cognition and memory and increase sex drive. It also increases muscle mass, improved the ability to burn fat and improved recovery and repair from injuries.
This peptide is indicated for those who need to lose a large amount of weight quickly. Tesamorelin works by causing an even more dramatic rise in IGF-1.
