Peptide therapy encompasses the use of specific peptide compounds to help regulate and optimize various physiological functions in the body. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in cells. Some peptides are produced naturally in the body, while others are synthesized in a lab.
When used therapeutically, bioidentical peptides can mimic natural peptides in the body. They can bind to receptors on cells and influence cell signaling pathways. This can have beneficial effects in terms of enhancing tissue repair, controlling inflammation, regulating metabolism, and more.
Some of the most common peptides used in treatment protocols include:
Peptides are extremely fragile molecules that would be broken down if given orally. Therefore, they have to be administered by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This allows the peptides to enter the bloodstream directly at therapeutic concentrations.
At our Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic, trained medical professionals administer peptide injections in a safe, precise manner using an insulin syringe. Patients can come in for injections as needed based on their customized protocol.
Depending on the type of peptide used, some general mechanisms of action in the body include:
This makes peptides very versatile treatment options.
There are many potential benefits that patients seek from peptide therapies, including:
With such a wide variety of benefits, peptides can be used to target numerous health and wellness goals at once. They provide an additional tool for optimizing patients' function and vitality.
Many patient populations can benefit from the targeted, physiological effects of peptide compounds. Ideal candidates include those looking to:
Additionally, peptide therapy is very safe for most patients when administered under medical guidance. Very few side effects have been reported.
Thus, whether you are 20 or 70 years old, an athlete or business executive, peptides can offer tune-ups to improve your overall wellbeing.
When new patients come into Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic interested in peptide treatment, we perform an extensive evaluation first. This helps ensure we create fully customized plans to meet each patient’s needs.
We look at factors like:
With this information, our practitioners can pinpoint which peptide compounds will deliver the most meaningful improvements for your individual goals.
We also take the time to educate each patient on how the peptides work and set realistic expectations regarding the protocols and timeframes involved. This empowers you to get the most out of your investment.
Peptide therapy is emerging as a valuable cancer treatment, with short peptide sequences exerting potent anti-tumor activity by helping the immune system identify and eliminate cancer cells. This unconventional cancer-killing ability of peptides, previously mainly used to treat diabetes and obesity, was largely unexpected and is still underexplored but shows great promise.
Every patient we treat receives fully customized peptide therapy based on their needs and objectives. However, there are some standard protocols we use as starting points:
For patients wanting to improve body composition, we often start with a foundational stack like:
Dosing is typically around 3-5 injections per week, depending on the patient’s response and need to phase down over time. These peptides synergize to safely increase growth signaling and prime the body for adding fit muscle.
Chronic inflammation drives damage throughout the body if not addressed. For patients dealing with autoimmunity, injuries, or frequent infections, we utilize compounds like:
The timeline can vary greatly but typically involves fairly intensive dosing for at least one month. The goal is to calm inflammatory pathways and facilitate regeneration.
Many patients also seek peptide support for brain health, including:
For neurocognitive goals, we often select peptides such as:
Smaller dosing is needed, often via nasal spray for better absorption into the brain. Positive effects on mental clarity and emotional regulation can start quickly.
As with any medical therapy, beginning treatment promptly offers significant advantages compared to delaying care. Some key reasons to pursue peptide therapy right away include:
Many age-related disorders like sarcopenia, osteoporosis, loss of skin elasticity, cognitive decline, and frailty stem from incremental collateral damage over time. Early correction of imbalance can prevent this slow deterioration.
Patients who start therapy closer to their peak have more physiological reserve left. Enhancing this reserve then optimizes overall function. Treatment becomes more complicated for those with multiple comorbidities.
Various tissues in the body lose density, plasticity, and receptors over time. Younger systems with more intact "machinery" often respond better to signaling molecules and growth factors.
It becomes exponentially harder to achieve substantial fat loss or muscle gain after passing age 40. Peptide amplification of metabolic and anabolic processes declines with age. Earlier intervention leads to more dramatic body recomposition potential.
In summary, don’t wait until you have already lost muscle mass, sustained an injury, or developed cognitive impairment before considering peptide therapy. Be proactive to tap into the remarkable preventative and restorative utility of peptides.
At Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic, we offer complimentary consultations to see if peptide treatment could help you meet your goals right now.
