Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally in the body and supplement various functions related to growth, healing, immunity, and more. As we age or suffer from illness and injury, peptide levels can drop, contributing to symptoms of aging, poor recovery, and suboptimal wellness.
Peptide therapy involves injecting lab-created peptides to restore healthy levels, counteract deficiency symptoms, and promote better overall function. This innovative therapy provides a way to tap into peptides' diverse benefits without risky side effects. When expertly administered, it can enhance quality of life and support the body's innate healing abilities.
At Equilibrium Hormone Institute in White Plains, peptide injections are part of our comprehensive suite of hormone therapies tailored to meet each patient's needs. Read on to learn the basics of peptides, their proven benefits, what to expect from treatment, and why Equilibrium Hormone Institute should be your top choice for therapy in Westchester County.
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Many peptides occur naturally in the human body and brain. Examples include insulin, glutathione, carnosine, and angiotensin.
Each peptide sequence activates specific cell receptors and influences particular bodily mechanisms. For instance, some support muscle growth, while others boost immunity or enhance cognition. As we age, injury and illness can reduce the availability of helpful peptides.
There are many emerging peptide compounds with therapeutic promise. At Equilibrium Hormone Institute White Plains, we provide cutting-edge peptide injections to meet a wide breadth of health and wellness goals.
Our dual certified medical doctors have advanced training in age management medicine, regenerative therapies and optimal hormone balance. We couple this expertise with the latest scientific advancements to determine the ideal peptides and dosing strategies for your needs.
Sermorelin is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue. As we age, declining growth hormone hampers endurance, muscle mass, bone density, injury recovery, and more. Sermorelin tackles this cause at the root – it stimulates your pituitary gland to boost natural hGH creation for whole-body rejuvenation.
Benefits include:
Sermorelin restores lagging growth hormone levels to revitalize you from head to toe. As a short protein, it offers GH benefits without the adverse effects tied to direct synthetic hGH injections.
Thymosin beta-4 (TB-500) supports injury healing, recovery, and regeneration throughout the body. This peptide helps maturing cells convert to their target type, while curbing inflammation.
Treatment trains may:
Clinical findings also link TB-500 to new blood vessel and muscle tissue development. This peptide is ideal for active adults looking to revitalize their bodies or anyone dealing with nagging sports injuries or progressive musculoskeletal issues.
BPC-157 is a partial sequence of body protection compound (BPC) found in gastric juices. As a peptide supplement, it regulates connective tissue healing, modulates inflammation, and stabilizes gut-brain link dysfunction.
Those who may benefit include:
Clinical trials display promising effects on everything from torn rotator cuffs to irritable bowel disease. This well-studied peptide is at the forefront of regenerative medicine.
