Is Peptide Injection the New Fountain of Youth?
13.05.2022I became a personal trainer during the Covid-19 epidemic. I kept my sanity while the world was in totsl panic. After one year, however, I was ready for a new level. Jamie Gabel, cofounder of Advitam New York City, was my first encounter. Gabel uses hormone replacement therapy, IV treatment, and other treatments to improve the overall health of your body. Gabel and other experts are leading the way in recognizing wellness as an internal and external pursuit.
After talking about my fitness goals with Chris Hemsworth and many blood tests, he suggested hormone replacement therapy to correct my low testosterone. To understand, I had to go back to high school biology class. Peptides are chains of amino acids that I understood, but they also act as signaling molecules, which can be used to stimulate cells to perform specific functions.
The standard for prevention of neurodegenerative and heart diseases could be peptides. Although it sounds simple, it is a complicated idea. William Seeds, cofounder and chairman of Seeds Scientific Research &, says, “Over time, if you cells aren’t working efficiently, it can cause problems.”
The world’s foremost expert in peptide therapy, Performance Institute: “These problems could be anything, from skin signs of aging to musculoskeletal injuries to more severe degenerative diseases. Although loss of cell function is part of natural aging, cellular medicine, especially peptide therapy is there to help these cells recover their efficiency. Our bodies recognize peptides, which is why they work so well. Your body knows what signaling peptides are trying to accomplish. Seeds states that they are just using them to correct the ship.”
Gabel recommended a combination growth hormone-releasing proteins (GHRPs), which I administered to my abdomen at a set time and frequency for two months. These peptides signaled my brain to make more growth hormone. This helps to build muscle and reduce fat. Someone might have given me straight-up injections of growth hormone in the past, but this would have been dangerous. Gabel states that it is easy to go overboard with actual growth hormones. The risks of this happening can be greater than the benefits. Many doctors now believe that growth hormone peptides offer a safer alternative. One benefit of peptides, according to many, is that your cells are already preprogrammed. This means that it is less likely that your body will produce too little of the hormone.
These GHRPs, like the ones I used, are not always aesthetic. They also have longevity benefits. “Your brain function requires growth hormone. So does your skin.” Gabel states that every cell of the body has a receptor. That was something I witnessed firsthand.
It was great to see my muscles grow. But I also noticed that I could train harder, recover faster, had more energy, and slept better. This, I realized, was the beauty of peptides. Traditional medicine focuses on the problem and prescribes a medication to address it. However, peptides are able to have many effects that help improve your body’s performance. It also looks better when it performs well.
Around 150 peptides are currently in use or under investigation for a variety of purposes, including the repair and maintenance of muscles and tendons, the prevention and treatment of fibrosis, the regulation and stimulation collagen production, as well as supporting the immune system and gut. Seeds states that this is only the tip of an iceberg. Seeds sees a future in which peptides will be the standard for prevention of heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. To make chemotherapy more tolerable, peptides are being used in conjunction with chemotherapy. Although it’s still a relatively new technology, the potential benefits are so great that big pharmaceutical companies are beginning to pay attention, Seeds says. He says, “There’s an explanation it’s growing.” “Because it’s working.”
We may one day all be able to inject or swallow peptides to cure or prevent any ailment. These peptides have made me a lot fitter than I was a year ago. But the reason I will continue to use them is much more. For the first time in a while, I feel energized.
