Peptide therapy involves injecting peptide compounds under the skin to promote various health and anti-aging benefits. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. There are many different peptides used in therapy, each with specific purposes.
The most common peptides used are:
- BPC-157 - promotes injury healing and gut health
- Thymosin Beta 4 - tissue and cell regeneration
- Sermorelin - natural growth hormone release
- AOD9604 - fat loss
- Ipamorelin - growth hormone release and fat loss
Administering peptide therapies properly is crucial for safety and effectiveness. Here is an overview of peptide therapy administration best practices:
Selecting Peptides
- Consult with a qualified medical provider to select appropriate peptides based on health goals. Several peptides may be combined in a regimen.
Sourcing and Handling
- Obtain peptides from a reputable pharmaceutical-grade manufacturer.
- Store peptides properly per manufacturer guidelines, usually refrigerated and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before injection.
Injections
- Inject subcutaneously using an insulin syringe. Common injection sites include the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms.
- Rotation of injection sites is important to avoid irritation or lumpiness.
Dosing
- Start with lower therapeutic doses and slowly increase under medical supervision based on needs and response.
- Frequency is typically once per day, but depends on the specific peptide protocol.
Cycle Length
- Most peptide protocols are 4-12 weeks, with breaks in between. This allows the body to avoid developing tolerance.
Lifestyle Support
- Support peptide therapy with proper sleep, nutrition, exercise and stress management. Making lifestyle improvements amplifies the benefits.
Monitoring
- Routine bloodwork helps monitor biomarkers and adjust dosages accordingly.
- Track progress of symptoms to optimize the peptide regimen.
