Peptide Therapy
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological messengers, playing crucial roles in regulating physiological processes. Peptide therapy harnesses these natural compounds to stimulate metabolism, promote healing, regulate appetite, and support overall wellness.
What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids -- the building blocks of proteins -- that serve as biological messengers in the body. They play crucial roles in regulating metabolism, energy expenditure, appetite, fat storage, tissue repair, and immune function. By targeting specific receptors and pathways, peptide therapy can influence various aspects of health and body composition.
At NM Stem Cell, we use evidence-based peptide protocols as part of our comprehensive approach to regenerative medicine and wellness optimization.
Mechanisms of Peptide Therapy
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides (GHRPs)
GHRPs stimulate the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, which plays a key role in metabolism, fat oxidation, and lean muscle development. By increasing growth hormone levels, GHRPs enhance the breakdown of fat and inhibit fat storage, leading to improvements in body composition.
GLP-1 Agonists
GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the intestine that regulates glucose homeostasis, appetite, and food intake. GLP-1 agonists mimic these actions to promote weight management by reducing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and enhancing insulin secretion for better metabolic health.
Tissue Repair Peptides
Certain peptides promote tissue repair and regeneration by signaling cells to increase collagen production, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing process. These peptides can complement other regenerative therapies for enhanced recovery from injuries and chronic conditions.
Immune Modulating Peptides
Some peptides help regulate immune function, supporting the body's natural defense mechanisms while reducing excessive inflammation. This makes them valuable for patients dealing with chronic inflammatory conditions or autoimmune issues.
