What’s the Deal with Peptides?
What are they?
Simply put, peptides are chains of amino acids. In various combinations, they can act as messengers to produce different effects in the body.
What do they do?
Peptide therapy stimulates your pituitary gland to release growth hormone. Since growth hormone production begins to decline in your thirties, this decline is responsible for many of the changes associated with aging, such as loss of skin quality, decreasing mental acuity, loss of muscle mass and increasing joint pain.
Fortify Men’s Health offers peptide treatment for anti-aging which can increase skin quality and reduce joint pain. Additionally, peptide therapy can increase bone density and cognitive function.
Peptide treatment for weight loss has been shown to be effective in reducing stubborn belly fat and increasing lean muscle mass.
Peptides also make you feel better, with people reporting faster recovery from workouts and an improved sense of wellbeing. They improve sleep quality and speed healing, which can assist in wound healing or with recovering from old nagging injuries.
What about side effects?
Peptide therapy is considered to be very safe when administered appropriately. The most common side effects are injection site reaction, hunger (growing muscle demands calories) and fatigue (which is why they are dosed at night.) Your provider will discuss your specific situation and goals with you to come up with a customized treatment plan.
