Peptide therapy involves administering specific peptide injections to help alleviate health issues related to aging, injury recovery, or hormone imbalance. As we age or experience trauma, our bodies may not produce adequate levels of certain hormones and proteins critical for optimal cell function. Peptide injections can help restore balance by signaling our bodies to increase production.
At Renew Hormone Institute in Media, our experienced peptide doctors offer customized peptide therapy programs to help patients feeling the effects of peptide deficiencies. We provide peptide injections to stimulate tissue repair, regulate appetite and weight, enhance cognition, improve sleep quality, increase energy levels, and more based on each patient's needs.
Below we will explore what peptides are, major peptide types, common deficiency signs, and the many benefits of this innovative therapy. We also provide an overview of our clinic's holistic approach to vampire facials, PRP, and various intravenous solutions. Contact us today to see if you are a candidate!
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. They play a key role in cell-to-cell communication and perform various biological functions.
There are over 7,000 peptides identified so far, and scientists discover new peptide sequences every year. Many control or influence critical processes related to aging, muscle gain, weight loss, injury healing, mood, cognition, inflammation, and more.
When peptide levels drop too low, you may experience suboptimal cellular function and related health issues. Many patients see improvements from targeted peptide therapy to bring their counts back to more youthful ranges.
There are many classifications of peptides, but several main categories used in injection or intravenous therapies include:
Growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRPs) can boost production of the body's natural human growth hormone (HGH). As HGH levels decline with age, common effects include decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, lower energy levels, and impaired immunity. GHRPs act on specific receptors to stimulate HGH release for more youthful function.
Collagen peptides contain high levels of proline and glycine to support collagen production for skin, joint, bone, muscle, and tissue health. Oral collagen supplementation has limitations due to enzymatic breakdown during digestion. Collagen injections can incorporate intact proteins directly into skin and joints for significant improvements.
Neurotransmitter peptides such as BPC-157 influence key neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and glutamate. Administering select neuropeptides by injection may have anti-inflammatory effects, accelerate healing, improve gut barrier function, enhance mood, reduce anxiety, stabilize digestion, and modulate pain signaling.
Since peptides play so many crucial roles, peptide deficiencies can manifest in numerous ways depending on your body's needs. Common symptoms associated with suboptimal peptide levels include:
Peptide therapy has shown promise for treating obesity by targeting appetite-regulating pathways in the body. A recent trial found that twice-daily injections of a peptide called polypeptide YY3-36 significantly reduced appetite and food intake over a 36-day period without serious adverse effects, revealing the potential of peptide-based therapies for weight management.
Customized peptide therapy aims to help alleviate issues caused by inadequate peptide levels.
Potential effects depend on which peptides your practitioner prescribes based on physical exam findings, labs, medical history, genetics, symptoms, and goals.
Benefits may include:
The positive impacts can promote whole-body wellness to help you look and feel your best while supporting longevity.
We offer an integrative medicine approach focused on identifying root causes for hormone imbalance or suboptimal peptide levels.
Initial testing may include blood panels, genetic analysis, body composition scans, and assessments of lifestyle/environmental factors.
Our peptide doctors use these insights combined with your goals to develop a custom peptide regimen that may include:
Targeted subcutaneous peptide injections allow intact proteins to directly enter the bloodstream. Effects typically noticed within minutes. Used for growth hormone peptides, collagen, BPC-157, etc.
Peptide iv therapy delivers oligopeptides, neuropeptides like Cerebrolysin, and amino acids intravenously. Infusions have higher bioavailability for maximum benefits. Allows larger dosing for systemic effects.
Uses patient's own plasma rich in growth factors, injected to rejuvenate skin. Improves tone, texture, elasticity while minimizing lines, wrinkles and scars.
Patient's plasma concentrated in growth factors and stem cells injected to stimulate localized tissue repair. Used to treat sports injuries, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, damaged ligaments and promote hair growth.
IV solutions of amino acids and vitamins bypass digestion providing building blocks for critical bodily processes - tissue repair, immunity, metabolism, nutrient delivery. Anti-aging, performance enhancement, quicker recovery.
We tailor components based on need:
Benefits include increased energy, clearer thinking, improved endurance, stronger resilience.
clinic Media offers customized holistic peptide therapy programs to help restore optimal peptide levels for whole-body health, performance, recovery and aesthetic goals.
Since peptides play many crucial roles in regulating bodily processes, peptide deficiencies should not be left untreated. Potential risks of prolonged low levels include accelerated aging, sarcopenia, impaired cognition, neurodegenerative disease, chronic inflammation, decreased longevity and all-cause mortality.
That's why experienced peptide doctors recommend testing peptide markers during annual checkups - especially total IGF-1, collagen fragments, DHEA-S, vitamin D, thyroid hormones, insulin, and inflammatory markers like hs-CRP. Catching dropping levels early allows prompt intervention for the best restoration outcomes.
Some early signs of suboptimal peptides to discuss with your healthcare provider include:
