Peptide Therapy
What is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are redefining medicine. Instead of just focusing on curing disease, doctors are also focusing on restoring peptides—nicknamed the molecules of youth— so our innately intelligent cells can optimize their functions independently.
​
Young bodies make thousands of peptides that fine-tune metabolic function. That's why people in their twenties wake up refreshed, exercise without pain, easily read small print and feel great naturally.
Some of the many bodily functions peptides are involved in include:
-
Neurological activity
-
Digestion
-
Hormone release
-
Cardiovascular function
-
Anti-Aging and Cellular Rejuvenation
-
Respiratory
-
Immune system function
How Can We Increase the Body's Peptide Levels?
HORMONE THERAPY
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) includes estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid replacement. A simple blood test reveals your hormone levels, which then allows for safe restoration.
​
Peptide replacement choices include BPC157, TB4 fragment, KPV, Tesamorelin, CJC- Ipamorelin, MOTS-c and many others. At Integrative Medicine of Idaho, we know that anyone over age 30 has lower levels of their natural peptide signaling molecules.
​
Do Our Natural Peptides Decline?
But peptides, as well as hormones, begin declining in our 30s, affecting our energy, memory, mobility, vision and overall well being.
​
Peptide and hormone replacement therapy are the magic keys to slowing down this aging process. Together, they are the natural healers of our bodies. As signaling molecules, they affect multiple pathways of healing at a time, without the toxic side effects of prescription drugs.
SEXUAL HEALTH
​
PT-141 also known as Bremelanotide, is used as a safe and effective treatment to combat male and female sexual dysfunction without the need for prescription medications.
​
Sexual benefits derived from this peptide includes increased sexual desire in men and women without an adverse effect on the vascular system, boosted sex drive, and increased energy.
Results depend on the individual, however many women reportedly felt effects in as little as a few minutes, and lasting up to 72 hours following injection.
Anti-Aging and Aesthetics
CJC 1295 is a synthetic form of GHRH ( growth hormone releasing hormone) and can improve memory and energy, while boosting the body’s metabolic function. Aesthetic advantages include improved skin quality and tightness and reduction of frown lines, crow’s feet, hair regrowth, under-eye bags, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
Glutathione is one of the most potent natural antioxidants existing in nature and combats oxidative stress from everyday environmental factors. When the body is protected from the “wear and tear” of oxidative stress, it is simultaneously protected from premature aging.
