Peptide - Endocrine Wellness Center

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Peptides are distinguished from proteins on the basis of size, as peptides contain less than 50 amino acids whereas proteins consist of more than 50 amino acids. Some key things to know about peptides:

• Peptides are synthetically created short chains of between 2-50 amino acids. They perform a wide range of functions in the human body.
• They are distinguished from proteins based on their shorter length. Proteins have over 50 amino acids.
• Peptides play crucial roles in hormone signaling, immune function, neurotransmitter signaling, and more bodily processes.

Some examples of vital peptides include:

• Oxytocin - the "love hormone" that promotes bonding
• Ghrelin - the "hunger hormone" that stimulates appetite
• Glutathione - the "master antioxidant" that protects cells from damage

Are peptides safe? When administered correctly under medical supervision, research shows peptides can be used safely. However, it's vital peptides are high quality pharmaceutical grade to ensure safety and efficacy. That's why here at Endocrine Wellness Center, we only supply rigorously tested medical grade peptides to help our patients restore optimal hormone levels and achieve health goals from inside out. With cutting-edge therapies personalized to your needs, Endocrine Wellness Center can get your peptide levels balanced to maximize energy, immunity, lean muscle gain, fat loss, injury recovery and more. Now back to the science... Researchers are very excited about the promise of peptides for healing and enhancing health. Potential clinical uses of various peptides include:

• Wound healing
• Tissue regeneration
• Immune modulation
• Preventing cell death
• Regulating inflammation
• Balancing hormones
• Fighting obesity
• Protecting brain cells
• And much more!

In summary, what are peptides?

"Peptides are short chains of amino acids that serve many essential signaling functions in the human body. When properly administered, peptides offer enormous health and healing potential."
