The name “peptide” simply means “protein” or a “chain of amino acids”. For our purposes Peptides are a newer class of medication that are usually mimicking a substance already found in our bodies. These substances can be hormones, enzymes, and other signaling molecules. These proteins in our body perform very specific beneficial functions. Peptides are a smaller or similar version of these natural substances in your body and are concentrated to stimulate the effect that we are looking for. There are also some Peptides which are synthetic or derived from non-human origins.
There seems to be a Peptide for almost anything these days. The market for this class of medication is extremely large and includes such things as semaglutide, BPC 157 and sermorelin. There are also many other peptides that perform many other functions. Here are some of the common Peptides used in Anti-Aging medicine:
BPC-157 is one of the most popular peptide. It was originally discovered as a protein secreted from stomach fluid and was believed to help heal the stomach lining. However, further research revealed that BPC-157 has powerful regenerative properties outside of the GI tract.
For example, BPC 157 can stimulate your natural stem cell activity, promoting healing in the muscles and joints. It has been widely used in regenerative medicine for tissue repair and recovery from injuries.
Another category of Peptides includes growth hormone stimulators, such as Sermorelin. These peptides mimic a hormone in your body which signals your brain to release natural growth hormone.
As children we have the highest levels of growth hormone in our body. This is why our bodies get bigger and mature during childhood and into early adulthood. It’s also the reason that when you got injured as a child, you recovered quickly and were able to go right back to activities. After the age of 25, our natural growth hormone levels decline rapidly and bottom out by the time we hit our 40’s, which is why we deal with chronic and long-term injuries when we are older.
It is for this reason that increasing growth hormone levels is a crucial part of regenerative medicine and healing from injuries. It is important to do this in a safe way because too much growth hormone can be very bad for your health. Unlike synthetic growth hormone injections, these Peptides stimulate your body to release its own natural growth hormone, making them a safer option.
Peptides offer a controlled, natural way to boost specific functions in your body, from tissue regeneration to improving growth hormone levels. Here’s why they are gaining popularity:
