Peptide therapy involves the use of specific peptide compounds to treat various health conditions. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Some key uses and benefits of peptide therapy include: Pain management - Helps naturally increase production of endorphins and enkephalins, the body's natural pain-relieving compounds - Provides analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects without the side effects of NSAIDs or opiates Injury healing and recovery - Accelerates tissue repair and regeneration after injuries - Reduces inflammation and swelling - BPC-157 in particular has been shown to heal tendons, ligaments, muscle, bones and nerve damage Anti-aging - Stimulates cellular cleanup and rejuvenation processes - Increases collagen production for skin, joint and tissue health - Thymosin beta-4 and Epithalon can help restore youthful hormonal balances Immune modulation - Thymosin alpha-1 amplifies immune cell functions - LL-37 fights bacteria, viruses and infection - Can help autoimmune conditions by reducing systemic inflammation Gut health - BPC-157 repairs damage in the gut lining and reduces leaky gut symptoms - LL-37 destroys harmful gut bacteria and strengthens mucosal immunity Hormone optimization - Includes sermorelin, ipamorelin, AOD-9604 and frag 176-191 - Can safely counteract age-related hormone deficits - Stimulates pituitary gland to increase natural GH and IGF-1 production - Boosts energy, muscle growth, metabolism, libido and cognition Sexual health - PT-141 stimulates sexual arousal and response in both men and women - Ipamorelin increases libido and sexual performance Mental health - Cerebrolysin has neurotrophic effects that can improve cognition and mood disorders - Selank provides anxiolytic and antidepressant actions Fat loss - Peptides like AOD-9604, CJC-1295 and frag 176-191 can all support fat metabolism and weight management goals Some top FDA-approved peptide medications include:
