Peptides
A natural way of helping our bodies perform as they should.
There’s a lot you don’t know about peptides.
There’s been a lot of buzz about peptides. You’ve seen them advertised for building muscle, controlling wrinkles, enhancing performance, reducing inflammation and reversing aging. But they do so much more. Like protecting from disease. Sure, you can ingest them while enjoying foods high in protein, but there are better ways to manifest fast-acting results. Before we get into that, let’s get into some basics:
Peptides are like the little siblings of proteins. Both are made up of amino acids, with peptides containing chains fewer than 50. Peptides can be found in all living organisms. Formed from a pool of 20 amino acids, they are naturally occurring molecules that are key to biological activity.
The function of a specific peptide depends on the amino acids in its sequence. Some, for example, act as hormones carrying information from one tissue through the blood to another. Insulin is a peptide hormone, for example. It urges the pancreas to regulate blood sugar. Diabetics require an external source of insulin so that the pancreas can do its job. Other peptide hormones include glucagon, leptin, ADH and oxytocin. (Steroid hormones are a whole different animal and include estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. We’ll cover those in our Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy section.)
Uses and benefits
Research indicates that bioactive peptides may assist in other key functions including:
- Lower high blood pressure
- Kill microbes
- Reduce inflammation
- Prevent blood clot formulation
- Improve immune function
- Act as antioxidants
- Slow aging
- Improve skin, nail and hair strength
- Stimulate melanin production, thus protecting against skin damage
- Increase blood flow
- Act as antioxidants, improving the body’s ability to heal
- Facilitate wound healing, including psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema
- Prevent age-related bone loss
Side effects
If you’re generally healthy, peptide supplements are highly unlikely to cause serious side effects, if any at all. That’s because peptides are naturally occurring in the healthy foods we enjoy every day.
If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, on medications, or dealing with a chronic medical condition, be sure to tell our providers or chat with yours.
How to use peptides
Whether the peptides you purchase are from our inventory or we have them sent to you directly from the pharmacy, rest assured that timing, dosing and administering directions will be crystal clear. If not, just give us a call and we will walk you through the process. Just be sure to follow the package instructions and never exceed the recommended dosage.
Revive’s peptides
We scoured the sources and offer only those that are from the best, most reputable compounding pharmacies.
IV administration or Sub Q (injections) are more effective since oral supplements may be broken down in the digestive tract. The oral peptides that we offer are only those that are hearty enough to make their way to the intended destination.
