What is Peptide Therapy?

A peptide is a short chain of amino acids that are linked together, or they can also be called a small protein. To date, over 7000 naturally occurring peptides have been identified. Your body makes peptides. In our bodies, these small proteins typically act as signaling molecules. They bind to receptors on the cell surface and tell other cells and molecules what to do. Peptides act like a key that opens a lock. Lab-made peptides can mimic some of those found in our bodies. Dr. Aziz only uses accredited pharmacies to offer his patients only the highest-grade peptides to achieve superior and real results.

Peptide therapy, or the use of specific peptides in treatment, has gained great popularity in recent years. This is due largely to the fact that these peptides are highly specific (i.e., only do what you want them to do) while also being well-tolerated and safe. It is like having a key for each door. A key to controlling sugar like insulin. A key to controlling hunger like the GLP peptides. A key to having radiant skin like GHK-cu peptide. Most of these peptide are administered as subcutaneous injections, transdermal creams, nasal sprays, and oral tablets.

What Conditions Do Peptides Therapy Help With?

ADHD, great-looking skin, weight loss, irritable bowel syndrome, low energy, increased libido, faster healing after injuries or surgeries, treating lingering post-Covid symptoms, Alzheimer's disease, erection problems, increased libido, longevity, you name it, peptides do it all.

Increased Energy and Anti-Aging

One class of these peptides are known as growth hormone secretagogues and cause the secretion of one’s own HGH in the body. These peptides have been shown to be very useful in the treatment of age-related conditions, osteoporosis, obesity, and various chronic inflammatory diseases, and have several advantages over traditional HGH administration. Those peptides such as (Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin) can make you leaner, more toned, having more muscles, energized, more youthful, having more stamina at the gym, and sleep better. It is like turning back the clock.

Youthful Skin and Healthy Joints

Another type of peptide drug Dr. Aziz uses a lot at his office for skin rejuvenation and wrinkles reduction is GHK-cu. He uses used this peptide to have better and younger-looking skin for his patients. This miraculous peptide also helps with collagen production after joint injuries and surgeries to help us heal much faster. It also help keep the stem cells live longer.

Healing

Joint pain, neck pain, back pain, recovering from an injury or surgery?Consider BPC-157 alone or BPC-157 with Thymosin-beta. We still have access to BPC 157.

Obesity

Peptides are the latest craze that can help people lose tons of weight. You can lose tons of weight with the GLP peptides. Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are examples of such peptides. We have acess to those peptides at great and best prices for fast weight loss.

Longevity

Shortened telomeres are linked to a shorter life. Epithalon is a petide that can lengthen your telomeres.

Would You Benefit From Peptide Therapy?

Peptide therapy encompasses numerous different drugs with varied effects, ranging from immune modulation and tissue repair to fat loss and muscle building. The office of Dr. Aziz has seen very positive results in patients from all walks of life including those suffering from hard-to-treat illnesses such as CFS, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Lyme disease, and fibromyalgia, among other conditions. Anyone can benefit from peptides even if they are healthy.

Which Peptides Does He Offer?

Dr. Aziz offiers many peptides, and he stays ahead with the latest research as he advises his patients on what's best for them. Here are some of the common peptides that he offers to his patients, but the list is huge.

Thymosin Beta 4

Thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4) is the predominant form of thymosin in our bodies. It has been found in high concentrations in wound tissue and certain blood cells involved in clotting, signifying its important role in the healing process. Tβ4 also has anti-inflammatory properties and works to decrease the number of inflammatory substances, called cytokines. Inflammation plays a large role in many of the symptoms associated with a large number of conditions (i.e., Lyme disease, CFS, FM, autoimmune diseases, infections, etc.), making the potential impact of Tβ4 quite extensive. Dr. Aziz is also using this peptide a lot on residual symptoms post Covid-9 infection. Supplementing with Tβ4; The discovery of the role of Tβ4 in the process of immune regulation has led to its use as a valuable therapeutic agent. Tβ4 has been used in the treatment of HIV, AIDS, Influenza, colds, and various infections. It has been utilized in the management of various inflammatory conditions, as well as part of treatment following heart attack due to its cardio and neuroprotective effects. Tβ4 has been used at our office with a great deal of success in patients suffering from Lyme disease or other infectious and/or inflammatory conditions. Tβ4 is very well tolerated and has not been found to cause any significant side effects. It can be taken on its own or in conjunction with an existing therapy, making it a versatile and very valuable peptide.

Growth Hormone Secretagogues (GHSs)

Feeling low energy? Want to turn back the clock? This class of peptides includes several therapeutics that stimulate growth hormone (HGH) secretion. Each peptide varies slightly as far as structure and mechanism of action. Thus, a certain peptide may be preferred depending on the patient’s health status and desired outcome. GHS includes Tesamorelin, Sermorelin, CJC1295, GHRP 2, GHRP 6, Hexarelin, and Ipamorelin.

1-Tesamorelin

It is used in HIV-positive patients to eliminate belly fat. It is like getting liposuction without going under the knife or surgery.

2-CJC 1295

This peptide offers therapeutic benefits like those of HGH. CJC 1295 is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. However, unlike GHRH, which has a half-life of only minutes after IV administration, CJC 1295 can remain active in the body for extended periods. CJC 1295 increases an important growth factor, IGF-1. In addition to HGH, leading to fat loss, lean muscle growth, and enhanced sleep, it is great to have a leaner body and feel energized.

3.-Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin

Those petides stand out among other GHSs due to their enhanced specificity. Those peptides generate similar increases in growth hormone secretion, but without the appetite stimulation and increase in cortisol, acetylcholine, prolactin, and aldosterone seen with other peptides in their class. Those peptides have been found to be very well-tolerated. They are great to increase energy, have a leaner body, and improve sleep.

BPC-157

Body Protection Compound (BPC)-157 is a naturally occurring peptide in human gastric fluid but is also found in small amounts in the gastric juice of other mammals. BPC-157 has enhanced stability compared to other peptides and is one of the only peptides that is available to be taken as an oral supplement. Because BPC-157 is stable gastrically, it can be taken with or without food once a day. Clinical research has shown BPC-157’s benefits for mental, gastrointestinal, cardiac, and autoimmune health. Dr. Aziz uses this peptide post-surgeries for faster healing and recovery. Have a joint injury? You can benefit from BPC-157 to heal fast.

Cerebrolysin

Cerbrolysin is a multi-modal neuropeptide. It helps the brain's ability for self-repair. It is used for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, traumatic brain injuries, different forms of dementia (vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease), and cognitive disorders.

Epithalon

Epithalon is a longevity peptide, a telomerase activator. It was developed as an anti-aging drug in Russia. Epithalon increases the production of telomerase, a natural enzyme that helps the cells reproduce telomeres. Telomeres are the protective components of DNA and help prevent the loss of genetic information. In essence, Epithalon helps your chromosomes to stay longer and intact as you age. The longer and more intact are your chromosomes, the better off you are to prevent diseases of older age such as heart disease and cancer.
