Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological signaling molecules in the body. They help regulate many functions such as hormone production, metabolism, immune response, and tissue repair.
Peptides are commonly used in functional medicine, anti-aging clinics, sports medicine, and regenerative medicine.
What Peptides Are :
A peptide is made from amino acids, the same building blocks that form proteins. When amino acids join in small chains (usually 2–50 amino acids), they form peptides that signal the body to perform specific functions.
They can help stimulate natural processes like:
Hormone release
Muscle growth
Fat metabolism
Tissue repair
Immune support
How Peptides Are Administered :
Peptides may be delivered through:
Subcutaneous injections
IV therapy
Nasal sprays
Topical creams
Oral capsules (less common)
Possible Side Effects :
Side effects depend on the specific peptide but may include:
Injection site irritation
Water retention
Headache
Temporary fatigue
Always consult a healthcare professional before peptide therapy.
