The Many Benefits of Peptide Therapy
The popularity of supplemental peptides is on the rise — and for good reason. As more research has been done on peptides, it’s been discovered that peptides can do so many things for your health, including reducing bodily inflammation, slowing down aging, and destroying harmful microbes.
Even though the first therapeutic peptide (insulin) was created back in 1920, the last 50 years have seen a huge increase in supplemental peptide production and use. And there isn’t much they can’t do for your well-being.
At Anodyne Pain and Wellness Solutions in Newark, Delaware, our team is passionate about how peptide therapy can improve your overall health in a more natural and holistic way. Here, we explain what peptides are and highlight the many benefits they offer.
What are peptides?
Peptides contain a string of molecules called amino acids, which are also found in proteins. However, proteins contain long chains of amino acids, while peptides only have 2-50.
The order and amount of the amino acids dictate how your body breaks them down and uses them. Peptides are especially effective since the amino acid chains are short and easily absorbed by your body.
Peptides are naturally found in your body and are used for a variety of functions like water regulation in cells, blood pressure regulation, wound healing, and insulin and oxytocin production.
You can supplement your body’s natural peptide production by consuming foods that contain them such as eggs, milk, beans, meat, and lentils. Many synthetic peptides can be found in dietary supplements as well, which are incredibly similar in makeup to the ones your body already makes.
But, one of the best ways to increase your peptide amounts is through peptide therapy.
How does peptide therapy work?
At Anodyne Pain and Wellness Solutions, we offer peptide therapy in the form of injections, which help your body break down and absorb the peptides in your bloodstream quickly and efficiently.
Peptides can be used for a huge variety of issues, and the type and amount we administer ranges depending on what you need them for. Some of the uses and benefits of choosing peptide therapy for your health include:
- Reducing bodily inflammation
- Increasing muscle mass and bone strength
- Managing high blood pressure (hypertension)
- Strengthening skin barrier and improving wound healing
- Improving immune system function
- Boosting cognitive function
Peptide therapy can be incredibly helpful in the management of chronic diseases and conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and hormone imbalances.
Because your body produces peptides already, you can rest assured knowing that you’re getting a more natural solution compared to a long list of medications that could have adverse side effects.
