As we age, the needs of our bodies change, and we sometimes need help to keep our bodies performing at peak function in various areas.
This is where peptides come in. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of the proteins your body uses. They play important roles in the various processes your body undergoes every day: They act as messengers to help regulate and influence different physiological functions in your body.
Peptide therapy works because specific peptides are targeted to specific functions in the body. Depending on your needs, peptide therapy can promote hormone balance, stimulate new cell growth, help you recover more quickly from injury, improve your sleep and your brain function, and much more.
At PRO Institute, Dr. Gayan Proovendran and our expert team have developed various protocols for how to implement peptide therapy. Here are seven invaluable benefits from the procedure.
Better brain function
Cognitive decline is a concern as we age, but peptide therapy has promise for improving brain function and health. Certain peptides can enhance memory, focus, and cognitive performance by improving the activity of neurotransmitters, improving blood flow to the brain, and protecting brain cells from oxidative stress.
Faster healing and recovery
Recovering from injuries or surgery can be frustrating because you just want to get back to normal. Peptide therapy is being studied for how it accelerates the healing process as it enhances tissue repair and the formation of new blood vessels while also reducing inflammation.
Improved immune function
Peptides have been shown to act as powerful antioxidants as they reduce harmful free radical activity in your body. Antioxidants keep your immune system functioning well, which lowers the chance that you’ll contract an infection or disease — and helps you recover more quickly when you do get sick.
Increased energy levels
Peptide therapy may help you feel more energized by building up your endurance and strength, and reducing fatigue. Some peptides also increase the production of growth hormones and lean muscles, helping improve workouts.
Better sleep
Peptides can also influence your body’s circadian rhythms, helping to align your natural rhythm with your sleep schedule. They can also help release hormones such as melatonin, that can give you more restful sleep as well.
Younger skin
You can achieve younger-looking skin with peptide therapy also. Some peptides stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which help keep your skin firm and tight. Other peptides can also protect your skin from UV radiation, leading to fewer lines and wrinkles.
Lower blood pressure
Studies have shown that peptide therapy can reduce high blood pressure, which in turn reduces your risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiac issues. The therapy may even be able to serve as an alternative to blood pressure medication.
