Peptide therapy refers to the use of specific peptide compounds to promote health, wellbeing, and potentially slow aging. There are many different types of peptides, each with their own unique mechanisms of action and potential benefits. Some of the most common therapeutic peptides include:
- Growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRPs) which can boost growth hormone production
- Thymosin beta-4 which may promote tissue repair and regeneration
- AOD9604 which is thought to help burn fat while preserving muscle
- Sermorelin to stimulate natural growth hormone release
The amount of time it takes
peptide therapy to work can vary substantially based on the specific peptide used, dosage, injection frequency, and individual factors like age and overall health status. However, some general timelines are:
- GHRPs - Effects felt within minutes. Muscle building and fat loss results typically seen within 1-2 months with consistent dosing.
- Thymosin Beta-4 - May take 4 weeks to see significant tissue repair/regeneration effects.
- AOD9604 - Fat metabolism effects observed within 1-2 weeks. Visible body comp changes in 4-8 weeks.
- Sermorelin - Stimulates HGH production beginning on day 1, but maximum HGH boosting effects can take 2 months.
Peptides are short amino acid chains that act as signaling molecules to trigger certain cellular processes like muscle growth, tissue repair,
inflammation control, and fat metabolism. When administered through subcutaneous injection, they provide a range of targeted therapeutic effects.
How Often To Inject Peptides
Most peptide protocols involve regular injection scheduling for sustained effects over longer periods.
- GHRPs - 3 injections per day, using 100-300mcg per dose
- Thymosin Beta 4 - 2 doses per week at ~2-10mg per dose
- AOD9604 - Once per day pre-workout at 500mcg-1mg doses
- Sermorelin - Each evening before bed at 100-300mcg doses
Of course, exact dosing should be tailored to the individual under the guidance of a qualified medical professional. When injected consistently at therapeutic levels, users can expect to see incremental changes and the full effects of peptide therapy within 1-3 months. However, longer treatment extending beyond 6 months is usually recommended for more significant anti-aging and body composition changes.
Individual factors impact peptide results including:
- Age - Peptides tend to work better for those under age 50 due to declining hormones and cellular function later in life
- Body composition - Those with more muscle mass and less excess fat respond better
- Diet & exercise regime - Peptides enhance the benefits from proper nutrition and training
- General health status - Several issues like gut dysfunction, thyroid problems, inflammation, etc can impair peptide efficacy
This highlights the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach including
healthy lifestyle habits to maximize your progress on peptide therapy.
