What are peptides?

Peptides are chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins. Your body creates many different types of peptides, each of which works in specific ways to support your body’s functions. 

Synthetic proteins can supplement your natural production, enhancing areas of health and wellness. Although you can take in certain peptides through food sources, intravenous therapy offers a way to deliver these powerhouses of production directly into your bloodstream.

You can also find peptide supplements formulated as oral supplements. The issue with this approach is that your body often cannot fully break down the supplement binding materials, so a portion of the supplement will pass completely through your digestive system without being put to use. 

What are some ways that peptides can support health and wellness?

Researchers know that peptides work by binding to receptors on certain cells and prompting the body to perform certain functions. Some of the known benefits of peptide therapy include:

• Boosting muscle tissue growth
• Improving the skin barrier
• Supporting weight loss
• Enhancing tissue repair
• Improving libido 
• Treating erectile dysfunction
• Boosting hair growth
• Easing digestive distress
• Supporting growth hormone production

Increasing your volume of peptides is a great way to help your body perform at peak levels. That’s why so many people incorporate peptide therapy into their larger health and wellness plans. 

How do I know if peptide therapy is right for me?

Many people can benefit from peptide therapy because the treatment supports so many of your body’s functions. However, making the most of your time and financial investment is important, so it makes sense to try to determine which therapies are best suited for your specific needs. 

This can be accomplished through a consultation at Boca General & Family Medicine. You’ll have an opportunity to discuss your health concerns and treatment goals with an experienced doctor prior to moving forward with a session. 

This approach ensures you get the most from your IV therapy appointment. If a combination of treatments is the best approach, you can discuss the timing of treatments and how you can enhance your results on your own through lifestyle modifications.
