Peptide Therapy: What You Should Know
Peptides have gained attention in recent years as powerful tools for those looking to optimize health, longevity and wellness. Peptides, or short chains of amino acids, are often referred to as the “building blocks” of proteins. There are about 7,000 naturally occurring peptides in the body and these peptides are made of amino acids that help signal cells and other molecules about the various functions they need to perform. Depending on their structure and function, peptides may influence everything from metabolism and hormone production to immune response, cognitive clarity, and physical performance.
However, there are a number of factors that can lead to a decline in both the availability and quality of naturally occurring peptides, including age. When this occurs, the body may not perform certain functions optimally, resulting in negative symptoms such as weight gain, aged-looking skin, and beyond. That’s why peptide supplementation has become such a hot topic in recent years.
How Do Peptides Work?
Different naturally occurring peptides serve different purposes. Some promote growth hormone production, supporting muscle development, recovery, and fat loss. Others may help reduce inflammation, boost immune function, improve skin health, or support cognitive clarity.
Supplemented peptides typically mimic the body’s natural processes with the aim to restore balance or enhance specific functions that the body’s would normally do on it’s own, but doesn’t do as well anymore.
Some of the peptides that individuals are hearing about and researching online include:
- BPC-157 – Researched for its role in accelerating healing of muscles, ligaments, and tendons
- CJC-1295/Ipamorelin – Thought to stimulate growth hormone production and support recovery and metabolism
- PT-141 – Known for potential benefits related to libido and sexual function
- TB-500 – Investigated for tissue healing, inflammation reduction, and muscle repair
- Sermorelin – Often studied for anti-aging support through growth hormone regulation
- AOD 9604 – Linked to fat metabolism and weight management in some research
Why Do People Use Peptides?
Although the body produces many peptides naturally, levels may decrease with age, stress, or illness. By mimicking or stimulating these naturally occurring compounds, people may turn to peptides to support goals such as:
- Enhanced energy and endurance
- Faster recovery from workouts or injury
- Improved skin elasticity and hair health
- Sharpened mental focus
- Better sleep
- Optimized metabolic function
Things to Keep in Mind
While interest in peptides is growing, not all peptides are FDA-approved for specific therapeutic uses. Some are available only for research purposes, and others may only be prescribed in certain settings. It’s important for anyone exploring peptide therapy to work with knowledgeable and experienced healthcare providers who can evaluate safety, need, and long-term health considerations.
At Forward Healthy we are committed to patient wellness and education, which is why believe it’s important for our clients to understand what is happening in the fields of regenerative and functional medicine. If you have questions about peptides or how they may relate to your broader health goals, our team is here to help you explore safe and effective strategies that are tailored to your needs.
