Peptides
What are Peptides?
Peptides are short chain amino acids that are found naturally in our bodies. Amino acids are building blocks of proteins whereas peptides help to enhance specific functions in our bodies. Peptides help to revive what we lose with age. They turn certain functions on or off and tell specific cells what to do, which then helps restore vitality increasing a youthful balance to the human body.
There are over 7000 varieties of peptides to help optimize the human body. But the most common peptides used, help to increase Human Growth Hormone (HGH,GH) naturally.
Why increase GH?
We lose GH as we age. Low levels of GH are associated with increased body fat, decrease in muscle mass as well as strength, cognitive decline, sleep disorders, decrease in libido and so much more!
GH plays many roles to the human body and by using peptides, GH can increase naturally. Why? Because Peptides tell the pituitary gland to produce more of your own GH!
Peptide Benefits vary from patient to patient, however clinical studies have concluded that peptide treatment, if done properly with a trained practitioner, can lead to a range of physical as well as mental benefits such as:
-
Increased lean body mass

Fat reduction

-
Increased strength
-
Increased endurance
-
Accelerated wound healing
-
Improved cardiovascular and immune function
-
Better sleep quality

How is it Dosed?
Peptides are dosed by subcutaneous injection ( a tiny needle that is injected into the fat) and are dosed 5 nights per week.
When Will I See Results?
You will want to stay on your peptide regimen for at least 3-6 months to see good results. You will see slight changes in the first month, however the full benefits are reported after 6 months of regular use.
