What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that work within your body to regulate several hormones that function for your survival and optimal wellbeing. These include:

• Vasopressin, a hormone secreted by the hypothalamus that normalizes how water functions in your cells, vessels, and organs.
• Oxytocin, provided by the pituitary gland, which releases to aid in childbirth and breastfeeding.
• Defensins, which are the powerhouse hormones that drive your immune system and wound healing abilities.
• Angiotensins, these stimulate your kidney’s sodium retention and regulate your blood pressure.

Peptides are found naturally in your body and our products have been professionally synthesized to replicate their organic counterparts. When properly applied by a licensed medical practitioner, peptide injections have been linked to many health benefits that provide relief from symptoms, heal root illnesses, and promote preventative measures, ensuring that you make a full and speedy recovery.

When will I feel better? How often do I need treatment?

While it can take between 3 to 6 months before the full effect of your peptide therapy becomes apparent, many clients report noticeable results within weeks of beginning their treatment. Once your body learns to recognize the extra input and begins to use it for growing and healing, then you’ll experience the most optimal results.

Many times, your doctor will recommend daily or almost daily doses at the beginning of your therapy, and then lower the frequency of your dosage further into your plan, however, always discuss these factors with a medical professional before deciding on a treatment plan.

Are peptides steroids?

Peptides are not steroids. When it comes to bodybuilding and fitness, steroids are the extra hormones (usually testosterone) that fitness aficionados use to make extra gains in the gym. They are seen as a fast way to gain muscle and boost recovery responses. Steroids also come with some hefty adverse effects like physical injury, fertility and libido dysfunctions, and what is affectionately termed as “’roid-rage”.

Peptides, on the other hand, are not themselves the altering factors of your body. Instead, peptides signal the proper glands in your body to produce their natural hormones for added boosts to your mental, physical, and emotional functions. Peptides offer the same gains as steroids, without the risks and side effects.

What is peptide ‘stacking’?

Often times, clients are looking for more benefits than a single peptide can produce and when thinking about ways to compound these peptides for optimal results it is referred to as ‘stacking’.

Peptide stacking can be an excellent way of reaping the full benefits of your body’s natural healing and health functions, however, as with any chemistry experiment, the guidance of a professional is strongly encouraged.
