Peptide therapy involves the injection of peptide compounds to help regulate and optimize various physiological functions and processes in the body. As we age or due to certain medical conditions, our bodies may not produce adequate amounts of certain peptides and hormones, leading to suboptimal functioning and associated symptoms.
Peptide injections can be used to supplement these peptides and hormones, providing a more youthful internal environment and helping to alleviate undesirable symptoms caused by deficits or imbalances. When administered properly and under medical supervision, peptide therapy is generally very safe and free from major side effects for most people.
There are many types of peptides that can be used therapeutically, and the best ones for an individual depend on factors like age, sex, symptoms, and bloodwork indicating hormonal or nutritional deficits. At Vital Hormones Clinic in Astoria, our highly experienced medical team specializes in customizing peptide treatment plans to suit each patient's unique needs and health goals.
Some of the main benefits reported by patients undergoing peptide injections and hormone replacement therapy include:
The specific benefits experienced depend on the peptides and hormones administered, as well as the underlying causes of any hormone deficiencies or imbalances. Our medical team will help determine which peptide types are likely to provide you with the most benefits.
Peptide injections can benefit both men and women from a wide variety of backgrounds and in various stages of life. Ideal candidates include:
Contraindications that may preclude someone from being a good candidate for peptide therapy include pregnancy, breastfeeding, uncontrolled hypertension, hypersensitivity to peptides, and some medical conditions or medications that may interact with the peptide types offered. A consultation is required to determine if peptide therapy is appropriate for your individual needs and health status.
Here is a basic overview of what to expect when getting peptide injections:
The process starts with an initial injectable dose of peptides, and over time the dosing is tailored to your individual needs and response. Most patients notice positive effects within weeks or months. Total treatment timeframes vary substantially based on the reasons for starting therapy, with many using it as an ongoing preventative health and wellness optimization tool.
Certain peptide injections like BPC-157 have shown promise in research studies for accelerating the healing of wounds and bone fractures. However, most peptide therapies are still in early research stages and not yet approved for widespread clinical use, so their long-term efficacy and safety in humans requires further investigation.
There are many therapeutic peptides available. At Vital Hormones Clinic Astoria, we offer cutting edge peptide protocols involving highly effective peptide bio-compounds like:
Sermorelin stimulates the body’s own natural production of growth hormone and helps maintain more youthful IGF-1 levels as we age. This leads to numerous benefits related to enhanced cellular repair, tissue regeneration, muscle building, brain function, injury healing, vigor, stamina, and much more.
CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin work synergistically to amplify growth hormone release similar to sermorelin. These compounds offer comparable rejuvenating effects, making them another excellent choice for anti-aging therapy and performance enhancement goals.
BPC-157 is a regenerative peptide most commonly used to rapidly heal sports injuries, tendon damage, GI distress, and various other tissue wounds or irritations where accelerating the repair process is desirable.
Like BPC-157, Thymosin Beta-4 has powerful tissue repair and regeneration capabilities. Both BPC-157 and TB-500 promote healing via increased cell migration, gene expression, anti-inflammation effects, and cell differentiation.
GHK-Cu or copper peptides help stimulate collagen and elastin production for beneficial effects on skin, hair, nails, tendons, bones, and organs. These peptides exert powerful tissue remodeling and anti-aging effects.
Because peptide therapy aims to optimize and balance existing hormones, baseline hormone testing gives us crucial data for designing precise treatment plans. The relevant hormones we test for deficiencies include:
In women, we also test the reproductive hormones estradiol, progesterone and DHEA. Optimizing these systems with bioidentical hormone replacements and peptides provides an incredibly effective upgrade for health, yet most adults never get properly tested for hormonal deficits that subtly drain vitality as we age.
Vital Hormones Clinic specializes in advanced hormone blood testing to assess which hormones, vitamins, minerals, or health markers fall outside optimal ranges for your age and gender. This gives us the data needed to accurately diagnose underlying causes of symptoms and craft targeted treatment plans. Based on a review of your medical history, science-backed recommendations are made which may include prescription medications, nutritional supplements, lifestyle modifications, peptides, hormone replacements, and other interventions to help you achieve peak health and an improved quality of life.
There are many reasons Vital Hormones Clinic Astoria is the top choice for peptide therapy and hormone replacement services including:
