Peptides and proteins are both composed of amino acids. Proteins are larger molecules that generally contain more amino acids and can function as hormones, enzymes and structural support such as collagen.
Peptides usually function as agents that stimulate certain effects within the body. Most of the eptides I prescribed for 8 years have been declared as unsafe over the last 2 years by the FDA. My experience with them was positive and I never observed any serious side effects in my patients.
There are some still available that offer significant benefits.
BPC-157
It is still available in oral formulation even though the injectible was declared unsafe.I never saw a problem in anyone using either the injectable or oral formulation. BPC-157 has tremendous benefits with healing, reduction of pain, and relieving gastrointestinal problems. It is available from either Fullscript or Infiniwell (Infiniwell supplies Fullscript) under the shop online tab. I recommend the Infiniwell BPC-157 500 mcg Rapid Pro. I would recommend taking 1 capsule once or twice daily depending on intensity of symptoms. I would price it at both websites because they offer discounts and one site might save you more money. Fullscript represents many supplement companies and has a diversity of supplements available. If you want to try BPC-157 you may order it without an appointment as it is an over the counter supplement.
PT-141
This peptide has beneficial effects on sexual dysfunction in men and women. It stimulates an increase in libido, desire and thoughts about sex which in turn improves the sexual response in men and women. It is acompounded prescription most frequently dispensed as a nasal spray.
If you are interested in PT-141 peptide therapy please make an appointment for your Free Consultation and learn more about it.
I am hopeful that some of the banned peptides will be returned to the compounding pharmacies in the future. In the meantime I have started using the Lifewave X39 patch personally and in my patients.
Lifewave X39 Phototherapy Patch
The patch uses reflection of infrared light to stimulate increased production of a peptide GHK-Cu. The rise in GHK-CU reactivates and rejuvenates our stem cells. The benefits of the Lifewave X39 patch are very similar to effects I have seen with the banned peptides. The Lifewave X39 patch is drug free and I have not seen any significant adverse effects.
