Peptides are an innovative therapy that can naturally and safely slow and reverse the aging process. Peptides have many applications, including weight loss, muscle building, improved healing, and aesthetic purposes.
At CR8, our personalized peptide programs are tailored to your specific goals.
Peptides are chains of linked amino acids that are naturally occurring molecules in the human body. These molecules serve numerous functions, such as signaling and stimulating the production and release of your body’s natural hormones.
As we age, the amount of hormone secreted declines. By age 40, adults produce half of the growth hormone they did as 20-year-olds. By age 60, levels are one-third of what they once were. These declining levels contribute to typical signs of aging such as reduced muscle mass and strength, increased abdominal fat, reduced vitality and energy, poor general health, mood changes, insomnia, and unhealthy-looking skin. The therapeutic use of peptides to upregulate hormone production helps address various health and performance goals.
Individuals with active cancer, undiagnosed and/or untreated autoimmune diseases, and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Over 200 peptides have been approved for clinical use by the FDA. Peptides have a relatively low side effect profile. The most common side effects include irritation and itching around the injection site.
The most common route is a superficial injection with a fine needle under the skin. Some peptides are taken by mouth or come in creams, lotions, or nasal sprays.
While some peptides may work in several days, results are typically seen after one month.
