Peptide Therapies

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Peptides are usually defined as molecules consisting of between 2 and 50 amino acids, and they can be naturally occurring or artificially synthesized.

​

Peptides play important roles in many biological processes, including hormone regulation, immune system function, and neurotransmission. They can also be used therapeutically for a variety of medical conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

 

Peptides have gained popularity in integrative medicine due to their ability to support various biological processes and promote overall health.

 

Here are some examples of how peptides are used in integrative medicine:

​

1. Anti-aging and skin health: Peptides such as collagen and elastin are important components of the skin and contribute to its strength and elasticity. Peptide therapies may be used to promote skin health and reduce the appearance of aging.

2. Cognitive function: Peptides such as nootropics, which have cognitive-enhancing properties, may be used to improve memory, concentration, and overall cognitive function.

3. Immune function: Peptides such as thymosin alpha-1 and thymulin may be used to support immune function and improve overall health.

 

Overall, peptides can be used in integrative medicine to support various aspects of health and wellness.
