Peptide Therapy
Peptide therapy is a medical procedure that uses small chains of amino acids, called peptides, to improve biological processes. Peptides can mimic the functions of naturally occurring peptides, such as hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters. Peptide therapy can be used in many fields of medicine, including neurology, oncology, dermatology, and disease management.
Peptide therapy is the use of peptides to change or improve how certain parts of your body work. For instance, some athletes use growth hormone-releasing peptides to help their body produce more growth hormone. This can help their bones and muscles recover after hard training and competing.
Here are some ways peptide therapy can be used:
Chronic pain management:
Peptides can help manage chronic pain.
Treating diseases:
Peptide therapy may have potential for treating obesity, diabetes, and aging. For example, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and its receptor agonists may help people lose weight by stimulating insulin release, which can improve blood sugar.
Preventing virus replication:
Peptides may help inhibit virus replication, making it harder for COVID-19 cells to infect host cells.
Harnessing the Power of Peptides
Each of these peptides offers unique benefits, addressing specific health concerns and goals. Whether you’re looking to turn back the clock, improve your cognitive function, sleep better, reduce inflammation, or enhance your body’s natural defenses, there’s a peptide therapy that can be tailored to your needs.

Uses
- By mouth (oral or dietary supplements)
- By smoothing on your skin (topical) or in a patch (transdermal)
- By squirting them in your nose (nasal)
- By injection at your doctor's office or a wellness center (peptide injection)
The form in which peptides are used depends on a lot of different factors. For instance, most peptides aren’t very stable, so they just break down when they’re put in a supplement or cream. Also, peptides in oral supplements are digested just like your food, so they don’t enter your bloodstream intact. Peptide injections are common because it’s easier for your body to use the peptides when they are injected directly into your blood.
