Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, to promote health, wellbeing and healing. Peptides occur naturally in the body and have diverse biological functions. Some key points about peptide therapy:
How it works:
- Peptides used therapeutically can help regulate, stimulate or suppress various biological processes in the body, depending on the type of peptide:
- Some modulate immune responses or inflammation
- Others promote tissue repair or healing
- Certain peptide hormones regulate metabolism or appetite
- Many peptides being studied or used clinically are synthetic versions of natural peptides found in the human body
- They exert their effects by binding to and activating cell receptors, triggering signaling pathways and influencing gene expression
Potential benefits:
- Peptides offer targeted treatments for numerous health concerns without major side effects
- May help when other therapies have not worked or cannot be tolerated
- Growing research supports use for healing injuries, autoimmune issues, metabolic disorders, cognitive decline and more
- Non-invasive therapy with minimal downtime
- Effects seen quickly, within first several weeks typically
- Can be used alone or alongside other treatments
Types
There are many different classification systems, but major categories of peptides used therapeutically include:
- Growth hormone peptides - Stimulate tissue growth, cellular reproduction and regeneration
- Examples: sermorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295
- Immune modulating peptides - Calm overactive immune responses
- Examples: thymosin alpha, TA1, LL37
- Signal peptides - Support healthy cell-to-cell communication
- Examples: amino acid chains like glutathione
Treatment methods:
- Peptides can be administered via subcutaneous injection, oral routes, or creams/gels rubbed into the skin
- Injections done just under skin are small and painless, using very thin needles
- Frequency varies based on peptide type, from once daily to a few times per week typically
- Short duration cycles often used rather than continual dosing
