Peptide therapy involves the injection of amino acid chains called peptides to promote health, slow aging, build muscle mass, and encourage weight loss. Peptides modulate and support various physiological processes and metabolic pathways in the body. There has been significant research showing a wide range of benefits from properly administered peptide injections.
At our peptide clinic Balance Hormone Clinic in Mt. Prospect, we offer peptide injections and consultations on peptide therapy protocols customized to your health goals. We also provide blood testing to determine baseline hormone and nutrient levels in your body. This allows us to design an optimal peptide treatment plan.
Below we will explore key topics related to peptide therapy. We have in-depth knowledge on matching peptide sequences to patient needs from extensive training and researching literature in this emerging field.
There are many classes of peptides with various effects and uses:
Peptides like Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, GHRP-6, and others stimulate your body’s own natural growth hormone production. Slowing signs of aging and building lean muscle are benefits.
Cerebrolysin, P21, and others offer nootropic or ‘smart drug’ effects on brain function like improved memory, cognition, and neuroplasticity.
BPC-157, TB-500, Thymosin Beta-4 and others strongly support injury healing, tissue, and nerve regeneration throughout the body.
AOD9604, Follistatin, Myostatin, and others regulate metabolism related processes - fat loss/gain, blood sugar, inflammation and more.
Multiple peptide types are often blended into custom treatment protocols that give optimal, synergistic benefits aligned with patient needs. Our clinic advisers carefully select your peptide supplement plan.
Below we dive deeper into two of the most common categories of peptides we use - growth hormone and those aiding weight loss.
Growth hormone (GH) is critical for regulating body composition and metabolic activity. However, your body's production declines significantly from your 20’s onwards. Low GH underlies many unwanted effects of aging - low energy, more body fat, loss of muscle mass and strength, reduced immunity, poorer skin elasticity.
Synthetic human growth hormone (HGH) injections can offset lower natural GH levels, but risk significant side effects. An exciting alternative is stimulating your body's own GH release instead using peptides like Sermorelin.
GH secretion is controlled by Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) produced in an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. GHRH signals to the pituitary gland to release GH into the bloodstream which then acts on organs like the liver, muscles and bones.
Sermorelin closely matches natural GHRH to stimulate GH production in the normal physiology pathway without risks from taking synthetic GH directly. Other peptides we offer also amplify GH pulse signals - Ipamorelin, GHRP-2, GHRP-6, etc.
Custom peptide regimens boost your body’s own growth hormone release leading to:
A balanced diet and regular exercise greatly multiplies benefits during treatment. Our advisors assess bloodwork and health goals to tailor a GH stimulating peptide plan matching your needs.
Obesity now affects over 40% of American adults. Beyond diet and activity levels alone, your hormone and metabolic health play a key role in battling unwanted weight gain. Exciting recent research shows that certain peptides used alongside lifestyle changes boost fat burning through regulation of the body’s metabolic systems.
At Balance Hormone Clinic in Mt. Prospect we help patients struggling with excess body fat develop science based peptide therapy protocols combined with individualized nutrition, fitness and stress reduction guidance for superior and lasting weight loss outcomes.
Here we outline the top peptides we administer to target the root physiological drivers of obesity:
AOD9604 is a modified fragment of the GH molecule. It aids fat loss by increasing the breakdown of triglycerides stored in adipose tissue. It also decreases fatty acid synthesis, lowers bad cholesterol and raises good HDL levels for better metabolic health.
Also called Cardarine, GW-501516 speeds up your metabolism to burn more calories. It shifts you into fat burning mode through activation of AMPk enzyme pathways. This peptide is especially helpful for losing stubborn fat in abdomen and thigh areas.
Covered earlier, Ipamorelin stimulates endogenous GH release. This helps break down fat through a process called lipolysis. Growth hormone also grows lean muscle essential for long term metabolic rate boosting.
CJC-1295 is a synthetic hormone that strongly stimulates GH and anabolic hormone secretion. The pulse of youthful GH levels it provides enhances fat utilization for fuel while keeping hard earned muscle.
We never take a one-size fits all approach at Balance Hormone Clinic Mt. Prospect. Your peptide therapy for weight loss is tailored and supervised closely by our advisors for maximum safety, compliance to medical guidelines and better results.
Book a consultation to see if peptide supplementation could help you achieve sustainable fat loss and metabolic health.
Certain peptides like BPC-157 have shown promise in research studies for accelerating wound healing and tissue repair when injected directly into damaged areas. However, large-scale clinical trials are still needed to fully validate the effectiveness and safety of using peptide injections this way.
