PEPTIDE Therapy
Proteins are long chains of amino acids linked together. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins. Because peptides are smaller and less dense than proteins, it appears they are more easily absorbed by the body. This enables them to penetrate intestines and skin more easily, allowing faster entry to the bloodstream. They play a critical role in regulating numerous bodily functions, including metabolism, immune system responses, and neurotransmitter activity.Peptide therapy involves the administration of synthetic peptides or peptide analogs to target specific physiological processes.

There are over 7,000 known peptides within the human body and though some may be similar each is responsible for facilitating a different response and action within the body.
​
As peptides are naturally occurring and specific in function, they are well tolerated within your body with minimal to no side effects of treatment. Generally, peptides used in therapy are crafted from animal or plant protein sources such as eggs, milk, meat, soy, oats, flaxseed, hemp seed, and wheat.
