What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide therapy is a treatment approach that involves the deliberate use of peptides to trigger a specific reaction from the body, whether external or internal. Peptides are chains of amino acids that the body uses as signaling molecules for biological processes. Peptide therapy is generally safe and several peptides are now approved by the FDA for medical use and applications.
More than 80 FDA-approved peptides can be added to your health plan to help treat weight loss, inflammation, low libido, joint pain, hair growth, and a long list of other concerns.

You are an ideal candidate for peptide therapy if you have low peptide levels which do not respond to supplements or whole foods intake.
