The Importance of Peptides

RevitalizedMD offers Peptide Therapy in Knoxville, TN.

Peptides have multiple functions within your body, such as regulating water surrounding cells (Vasopressin), controlling your blood pressure (Angiotensins), helping with wound-healing (Defensins), and producing feelings of love and bonding (Oxytocin). At RevitalyzeMD, Dr. Debra Durst formulates a medically-managed peptide treatment in Knoxville utilizing peptides to replenish your body at the cellular level to help you look and feel better. Body analysis, medical supervision, and peptides are all included in this program.

What are Peptides?

Peptides are categorized in three ways, how they are organized (amino chains), their source (plant or animal), and their function within the human body. Essentially, a peptide is a chain composed of two or more amino acids. These amino acids are then linked via a chemical bond—peptide bond. Finally, when peptides organize into complex structures (more than 50 amino acids on the chain)—it becomes a protein. All of which help your body to function. However, as you age, the peptide production slows down or becomes interrupted. A therapeutic treatment often enables Knoxville Peptides patients to see positive results in hormone replacement, medically supervised weight loss, pain relief, and anti-aging benefits.

What is the GH Peptide Program?

The starting place for any peptide program is a thorough evaluation by one of our highly skilled providers, including blood work to see if you are a candidate for treatment.

If you are a candidate for treatment. The GH peptide program duration is at least six months and requires a commitment on the part of the patient to realize all the beneficial effects. Some effects will be felt immediately, but body composition changes take three to six months of treatment. It is a medically monitored program. Further, you will be monitored for fitness and nutritional goals. For Peptides Knoxville patients are injected through a small needle right under the skin. The injectable peptides are the only ones that RevitalyzeMD believes to be beneficial in stimulating the release of growth hormone needed and achieving desired results. As part of the program, you will get the education you need on peptides and usage.
