Peptide Therapy

Peptides are parts of protein cells that play a vital role in many critical bodily functions. LeHeal Biogenix in Tampa, Lakewood Ranch, Brandon, and Lakeland, Florida, can boost your peptide levels to improve your health and relieve pain.

Call LeHeal Biogenix or book an appointment online today to learn how you can benefit from peptide therapy.

What are peptides?

Peptides contain amino acids, a vital protein building block. Your body needs protein to grow and repair tissues and peptides for healthy organ function.

Every peptide coordinates with other peptides. For example, the peptide ghrelin (GHRL) makes you feel hungry. When you eat, another peptide, gastrin, stimulates gastric acid production in your stomach.

The peptide cholecystokinin (CCK) regulates gallbladder and pancreas function and controls the speed at which your stomach empties. Somatostatin (SST) peptides ensure that all these other peptides work together for a smoothly functioning digestive system.

Where do I get peptides?

Peptides come from your diet, particularly high-protein foods. The richest sources of peptides include: 

• Milk
• Eggs
• Grains
• Soy

A healthy, balanced diet consisting of varied foods should provide you with all the peptides you need. But some people’s digestive systems don’t work as well as they should, so they miss out on essential peptides.

How can I boost my peptide levels?

LeHeal Biogenix offers peptide therapy to improve your health. Peptide therapy involves having an injection containing the peptides you need for better general health. Peptide therapy is safe, with almost no risk of adverse reactions. Each treatment takes about five minutes.

Peptide preparations can help:

• With weight loss
• Improve sexual function
• Increase gut health
• Strengthen immunity
• Slow the effects of aging

One beneficial peptide therapy contains peptides that you’d usually have in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These peptides stimulate tissue growth and repair, reducing pain and improving physical function.

What medical uses do peptides have?

Peptides are often used in medicines for specific diseases; however, they can also be used to treat injuries or for their anti-aging benefits. LeHealh Biogenix offers the following peptides:

TB-500

TB-500 is a synthetic formulation of thymosin beta-4, a naturally occurring protein present in almost all human and mammalian cells. Studies show that therapeutic treatment with TB-500 can enhance healing and cell regeneration. The benefits of TB-500 include:

• Improved Cell Regeneration
• Improved Wound Healing
• Accelerated Tissue Repair 
• Less Inflammation

Your provider may also recommend peptide therapy with TB-500 to treat conditions like Lyme disease, an autoimmune disease, or a traumatic brain injury. 

BPC-157

BPC-157, or Body Protection Compound 157, is a peptide chain made up of 15 amino acids. This form of peptide therapy promotes healing and cell regeneration. Consequently, peptide therapy with BPC-157 can have a range of benefits, including:

• Improved Cell Regeneration
• Improved Wound Healing
• Improved Gastrointestinal Health
• Accelerated Tissue Repair
• Enhanced Mental Wellness
• Lower Blood Pressure

CJC -1295 w/ Ipamorelin

CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin is a powerful combination of growth hormones and agonists that have been found to have numerous benefits.

The combination has been found to increase production of muscle tissue and improve recovery time, allowing athletes train more often and efficiently. Additionally, the combination has been found to help build strength, speed and endurance, while providing improved energy and focus.

The primary purpose of CJC-1295 is to boost protein synthesis levels and help fuel the growth of muscle tissues in the body. Due to the synergistic effects, CJC-1295 is used alongside Ipamorelin. Ipamorelin is used to naturally help increase levels of growth hormone levels that have dissipated as we age.

Benefits may include:

• Decrease Body Fat
• Improve Sleep Quality
• Increase Cognitive Function
• Quicker Recovery Times Post-Injury
• Increased Muscle Mass
• Increase in Strength

SS-31

SS-31 Peptides are often referred to as groundbreaking in the field of anti-aging! With their unique properties, SS-31 has shown promising results in reducing the signs of aging, and boosting mental clarity, cognition, and overall brain function.

SS-31 is a powerful systemic antioxidant and has shown to be highly effective at protecting mitochondrial function, as well as, healing damaged mitochondria. This peptide also improves mitochondrial membrane potential which enhances intercellular communication and ATP (energy) transport. Mitochondria play a vital role in cellular metabolism throughout the body.

Benefits of SS-31 may include:

• Anti-Inflammatory Effects
• Exercise Performance
• Protection of the Brain
• Improvement of Memory, Learning, and Cognition
• Prevention of abnormal acceleration of Tissue Aging
• Protection of tissues from abnormal cell death (Apoptosis)
• Improvement of Insulin Resistance
• Prevention of cardiovascular disease and improves Heart function
• Maintenance of normal Muscle Function
• Improvement in Wound Healing

Many peptides have antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. That means they protect your body from harmful compounds and bacteria.

Before giving you a peptide injection, your LeHeal Biogenix doctor examines you thoroughly and reviews your medical history. Depending on your reason for needing peptides, they might recommend other treatments, like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections or stem cell therapy, to complement the injections.

Your LeHeal Biogenix provider can help you determine which form of peptide therapy is right for you.
