What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as tiny messengers. They deliver instructions to your cells to perform certain processes.
Peptide therapy involves using peptides that are made in a lab to work like natural peptides do in your body. They may be identical to the natural version or chemically improved to make them safer or more effective. The goal is to raise low peptide levels that can’t be replaced with supplements to help certain conditions.
To date, scientists have found over 7,000 peptides that occur naturally in the human body. And more than 80 FDA-approved peptides are on the market for conditions like diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, and multiple sclerosis (MS).
Potential Benefits
Each peptide uniquely signals a specific cellular or physiologic process in your body. Depending on the peptide you take, you may experience the following benefits:
- Improvement in skin firmness, elasticity, and tone
- Reduced body fat
- Increased natural HGH levels
- Weight loss
- Improved recovery from injury
- Improved wound healing
- Decreased joint and muscle pain
- Improved sleep

Semaglutide
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist. Interestingly enough, this peptide was originally FDA-approved in 2017 to help control blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes.
You may know semaglutide as Ozempic or Wegovy, the injectable form of semaglutide. You can also find it as an oral pill called Rybelsus. Both Ozempic and Ryblesus are used in people with Type 2 diabetes. But they are given at a lower dose.
