Peptides
You’ve heard of Peptides … but what are they?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that naturally occur in the body and play a role in various normal biological processes. In clinical settings, certain peptides may be used as part of a personalized wellness plan under the guidance of a qualified medical provider.
Peptide therapy is often selected with the goal of supporting overall wellness and may help support normal functions related to:
healthy aging and recovery
skin appearance and hydration
sleep and general well-being
body composition and metabolic support
exercise recovery and performance support
scalp and hair health support
