What Are Peptides?
Peptides are small proteins or short chains of amino acids. These work uniquely to signal for specific cellular or physiological processes, rather than to get broken down into amino acids.
Scientists have discovered over 7,000 peptides in nature, many of them naturally occurring in humans. These peptides help control numerous processes, such as:
- Hormone production and signaling
- Communications between cells
- Wound and tissue healing and regeneration
- Immune functions
- Metabolic functions
- Brain and neurological functions
- Physical and cognitive performance
- Reproductiion and sexual health
- Anti-aging processes
- Mitochondrial function
- Anabolic processes such as muscle building
- Sleep and circadian rhythm
Therapeutic peptides are made in the lab to function like natural peptides do in your body. They may be identical to the natural version or chemically improved to make them safer or more effective.
Because your body naturally recognizes and works with peptides, they are safe and deliver powerful clinical results when taken at the right dosages, combination, and timing. Depending on your health goals and type of peptides, they may work best orally, intravenously, or through subcutaneous injections. Most therapeutic peptides are administered through subcutaneous injections.
Why Choose Peptides?
Peptides are bio-identical small proteins that can deliver potent clinical outcomes if ALL the following critical factors are in place. These are especially important if you’re looking to maximize health and performance or to achieve a health breakthrough.
Our peptides come in 30-day supplies premixed and we provide insulin needles for convenient at-home injections.
