Peptides Hormone Treatment Specialist in Jacksonville, FL

Peptide hormones are hormones that consist of small chains of amino acids. These short chains are the substances that make proteins.  Essentially, these are protein hormones. There is a wide range of these that are produced in the body.  They circulate in the body through the blood and bind to receptors on targeted tissues and organs. Hormones operate as chemical messengers in the body. Protein, when consumed is broken down in the body into amino acid components. These components are instructed by genes to produce certain peptide hormones.
 
Peptide hormone therapy has shown to have some good health benefits.  It can help in the management of weight.  Obesity is a factor in a number of diseases. Peptides can help control the levels of blood sugars and reduce the risk of diabetes.
 
Peptide hormones help to trigger muscle growth. The benefits of this are that you get faster cell regeneration. It can help increase muscle mass.  It invigorates oxygen use in the body.
 
The use of some peptide hormones is permitted, while others are not.  Peptide hormones with strength or anabolic enhancing actions are prohibited. Growth hormones like HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and LH (luteinizing hormone) can be used to treat growth, pituitary deficiencies or fertility issues. In women, HCG can be used to support conception. In men, LH and HCG stimulate the production of testosterone. There are other peptide hormones that help treat some cancers. Peptide hormones should be used under the supervision of a doctor.  They are not available over-the-counter and should not be purchased in dietary supplements.

Growth hormones fuel the growth in the body. They help maintain tissues and organs.  Growth hormones are produced by the pituitary gland.  As we age, the pituitary gland gradually reduces the growth hormone it produces.
 
Some adults have a growth hormone deficiency and may require synthetic growth hormones to have a normal life. This deficiency is normally caused by a benign tumor or from a treatment of the pituitary gland. Too little of the growth hormone in adults causes a reduced sense of well-being, increased risk of heart attack and weak muscles and bones.
 
There are other factors that can accompany weakened muscles such as heart problems and weight gain (especially around the waist), decreased energy levels, including sexual energy. People with deficiency show less energy overall and less stamina, which can lead to anxiety and depression.
 
Adults who receive injections of growth hormones can see increased muscle mass and bone density and a decrease in body fat. It also appears to have the ability to limit other effects of aging.

There are several peptide hormones that stimulate growth.  Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, CJC-1295, Ibutamoren, and Tesamorelin are used at Revamp. 
 
Sermorelin will increase the production of growth hormones from the pituitary gland.
 
Ipamorelin will stimulate the production of growth hormone in a more steady and slow release.
 
CJC-1295 is a hormone that increases HGH secretion. It lasts in the body longer and has a longer-lasting effect than Sermorelin.
 
Ibutamoren stimulates the pituitary gland to release HGH.  It is unique in that it is given as a pill and not an injection.
 
Tesamorelin stimulates the synthesis and release of the growth hormone with an added increase in the level of insulin-like growth factor.
