Peptide Therapy

What are peptides?

  • Peptides are small chains of amino acids. Most peptides prescribed are naturally occurring in our bodies.

  • Peptides are part of the messaging and signaling system in the body.

  • Similar to hormones, our bodies produce less peptides as we age, which may contribute to the aging process.

There are over 60 peptides that are FDA approved medications (insulin, Ozempic, etc.) and over 140 peptides are being used and studied that are not yet FDA approved.

Who could benefit from peptides?

Peptides are potentially beneficial for patients who have the basics of health well controlled- a healthy, low inflammation diet, regular sleep, and regular exercise- and just need a little more to get them to their best health.

What conditions can peptides help?

Weight loss, joint injury and pain, gut inflammation, sleep quality, energy improvement, memory and brain health, skin and hair health are just some of the conditions that can benefit from peptide therapy.

Where do you get peptides?

  • Peptides are only available from compounding pharmacies through a licensed health care prescriber (MD, NP, PA)

  • Never buy peptides off the internet

What peptides are not?

  • Peptides are not a magic cure. Without a healthy lifestyle, peptides cannot do their job.

  • Peptides are not accepted by the traditional medical community as a therapeutic option.

  • Most peptides have not gone through the vigorous clinical trials that FDA approved medications have.
