Understanding peptides
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids naturally present in all your cells and tissues. Bodies naturally produce peptides. They act as building blocks for proteins and are essential to your wellness. These “tiny proteins” send messages to your brain and intercellular signals, instructing them on what functions to perform. Having beebWith over 7,000 known peptides found in humans, they collectively play a crucial role in a wide range of biological functions.

Peptide Therapy
What is peptide therapy?
Though our bodies naturally produce peptides, the production of peptides can vary greatly by individual. As we age, the number and quality of peptides within the body may decline.
Having been used in therapy for over a century, peptide therapy works to restore the number of peptides. Our functional medicine provider customizes each treatment to the patient’s unique needs and goals. By using the functional medicine approach, she is able to produce a specific reaction in the body and treat a variety of conditions.
What are the benefits?
Peptide therapy offers a wide range of benefits. Whether for managing hormonal imbalance, restoring your natural functions, achieving better athletic performance, or reducing inflammation and pain, a suitable peptide treatment is available. Often, our provider uses this treatment for people with specific health goals, including pain relief, weight loss, and in many cases, even anti-aging purposes.
Some additional benefits include, but are not limited to:
- Accelerate healing
- Boosting hormone levels
- Building muscle mass
- Restoring immune function
- Decreasing joint pain
- Reducing anxiety and stress levels
- Reversing symptoms of sexual dysfunction
- Improving sleep quality
- Improve gut health
- Reducing signs of aging
- Stimulating hair growth
- Reducing weight
The BionwoRx functional medicine approach.
Peptide therapy treatments.
Our peptide therapy specialist will start by asking questions to get to the root cause of your condition.
Once she identifies the underlying issue, she will create a customized treatment plan tailored to you. The first priority of functional medicine is to get to the heart of the problem, not just treat the surface-level effects.
At BionwoRx, we view our patients as partners in care. If you’re looking for a collaborative relationship with your practitioner, then we may be right for you. That being said, it’s important to understand that peptide therapy is not a quick fix. Some modalities take time to show results. It’s a journey, not a sprint, that requires commitment and dedication.
FAQs.
What is peptide therapy?
Peptide therapy refers to restoring the number of peptides within the body as a treatment option for specific conditions.
What is it good for?
Peptide therapy is good for purposes of losing weight, building muscle, improving skin and hair, and other anti-aging goals.
How long does peptide therapy take to work?
Peptide therapy usually has a “loading” period. It normally takes 3-6 months before full effects and maximum benefits are noticed.
Where is the best place to inject peptides?
The best place for injecting peptides is around the umbilicus, behind the arm, or top of the thigh in the subcutaneous (fatty) tissue.
Does injecting peptides hurt?
The client administers the injection to themselves using a tiny needle into the fat tissue. The needle is small and the injection is virtually painless.
Are peptides safe to use?
Peptide treatments are considered safe with minimal side effects because the body can easily recognize and utilize the amino acids they contain. Since our bodies naturally produce amino acids, they readily accept and respond well to peptide therapies. This compatibility contributes to the therapy’s high safety factor and reduces the likelihood of experiencing any unwanted adverse effects.
In rare cases of reaction, you’ll find these are superficial and may include:
- A rash at the injection site
- Headache
- Nausea
