Peptide therapy

You may be more familiar with peptides as a medical treatment more than you’ve realized. Insulin is used to treat diabetes for instance is a peptide therapy hormone. Many people use powdered collagen peptides in their coffee in the morning to help with hair growth and joint repair. 

Currently, scientists have identified over 7,000 naturally occurring peptides or strings of amino acids and the FDA has approved over 60 drugs for use in peptide therapy for their rejuvenating qualities on our physical and cognitive functions. With peptide therapy we improve sexual function, decrease blood sugar dysfunction, lose weight, build muscle, improve sleep and the list goes on.

Please note there are companies out there selling peptides directly to consumers, many say they are for research only. These companies are not vetted and there is cause of concern as it pertains to sterility, purity, and safety liability.
