PEPTIDE THERAPY

The pituitary gland produces less human growth hormone every year, causing our mortal bodies to age and break down. By the time we’re in our 40s, our HGH levels are less than 50%, and before long, we have to deal with uncomfortable and unwanted changes in our health, such as fatigue and muscle deterioration. 

Peptide therapy is a new and innovative form of hormone replacement therapy that utilizes synthetic peptide hormones to help boost human growth hormone production and direct cells to perform specific functions such as help restore muscle mass depending on the type of peptide used. Thanks to the regenerative properties of peptide therapy, adults can not only slow down the aging process, but they can restore their youthful exuberance and improve their health. 

What are Peptides?

Peptides are short molecular chains of amino acids that make up the building blocks of the body’s proteins. These peptide chains typically contain anywhere from 2 to 50 amino acids and can be found within larger protein chains carrying 100 amino acids or more.

Due to their small size, peptides usually are easier to break down than proteins and can be easily absorbed by the skin or internal organs to spread through the bloodstream more efficiently. As peptides move through your system, they send signals or messages to the body to begin the process of healing or production of melanin to help protect your skin from damage. Peptides can also work as hormones to regulate your immune system and other aspects of your body.

How Peptides work?

Peptides bind themselves to specific receptors in the membrane of related cells and function only when a signal is sent to the receptor to activate. The peptide is then sent to the parts of your body that need repair and begins to heal or strengthen the area. 

Peptides that Increase Testosterone

Peptides can work as effective growth hormones to stimulate increased testosterone production. Several forms of peptide medicine can help raise men’s testosterone levels, which include: 

1. Sermorelin, a naturally occurring peptide in the brain that releases growth hormone to provide improved sleep, reduced body fat, and increased endurance to help your body last longer and recover faster from daily exercise. 

2. Gonadorelin  also known as “gonadotropin releasing hormone,” or “GnRH.” The neuropeptide is delivered directly to the anterior pituitary gland, which responds to the stimulation by releasing in its own pulsatile fashion a bolus of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and even small amounts of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). These hormones travel from the anterior pituitary to the testicles to stimulate them to produce testosterone, estrogen, and sperm. 

By stimulating the production and release of certain hormones like human growth hormone (HGH), peptides like Sermorelin and Gonadorelin can effectively help boost and maintain testosterone levels. 

How are Peptides Given?

Because naturally occurring peptides are normally broken down as food, the human body normally can’t absorb synthetic peptides into the intestine to fully utilize their beneficial properties. So to ensure that your body can draw out the full potential of the peptides and receive the best results, peptide therapy is usually administered through subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous injection. With the injections, peptides are introduced directly into the bloodstream, where they can effectively attach themselves to receptors and send signals throughout the rest of the body. 

How Long Does Peptide Therapy Last?

It typically takes about 2 to 4 weeks to begin seeing results from your peptide therapy. After that, you will need to continue the treatment for 3 to 6 months to allow your body composition to fully adjust to the new changes. Once you’ve reached your desired result, the effects of peptide treatment can last several months without the need for continued treatment. However, peptide therapy is typically an indefinite treatment that you will eventually need to continue to maintain results, so you’ll have to return to your routine after those months have passed.

What are the Side Effects of Peptide Hormones?

Although peptides are relatively safe for use, they can have some serious side effects. Depending on your usage and your body type, you may end up experiencing various issues that include:

• Water retention
• Dry mouth
• Kidney pain
• High blood pressure

Does Peptide Therapy Increase Testosterone?

Peptide therapy utilizes specific peptides such as Sermorelin and Gonadorelin to help stimulate the production of human growth hormone (HGH) and testosterone. In doing so, peptide therapy can effectively increase testosterone levels to optimal standards.
